Corsair Flash Voyager USB flash drive - 8 GB : Cheap and Reliable

Advantages: price, speed and reliability
Disadvantages: A little large but ideal to put on your car keys etc

...I use USB flash drives frequently and regularly have to replace them, I carry them with my car keys which especially with laptops they bend. And I can finally say that I have found one that can take anything!! This gadget is encased in rubber, is water resistant and comes with a 10 year manufactures guarantee, which shows you how robust they are. It is not the smallest of pens yet I find those are the one which are most likely to fail, however it is not that large either. So if you value your data rather than squeezing it in your wallet, I would highly recommend this product. I bought one for £18 over a year ago and whilst in my lap top my dog sat beside me and knocked it which resulted in a loose connection, and the manufacture replaced it for me, new for old. They are ~ £13 from Amazon now so a bargain. Here are some...

Toshiba USB 8gb Flash drive, Safe storage with no frills,

Advantages: Reliable data storage, small & light, stronger & more robust than it looks.
Disadvantages: Feels a bit flimsy, seperate cap is easy to misplace.

...read and write speed is good, there are faster drives on the market, but at this price point it performs quite well, and it is fast enough for general use, and with it's 8gb storage capacity, you can get a lot of data onto it. It does not have any fancy features, such as rubber shockproof casing etc. but it is a simple no frills USB drive that does everything that it is supposed to do without any fuss. This is a pre formatted device that is plug and play, so there is no setting up to do, or software to install, and it is ready to use straight from the packaging with no fuss, it is enhanced for windows with "ready boost" It is compatible with Windows 200, XP and Vista, it is also compatible with Mac os 10.0.2 Read speed is up to 16mb/sec.

Review of SanDisk Cruzer Micro - USB flash drive - 8 GB

A slim and compact USB Flash Drive.

Advantages: Slim, compact, very trendy outlook and fast performance.
Disadvantages: None really.

...with the system. It has a basic Plug n Play facility and supports almost all the operating systems such as windows XP and windows VISTA. After plugging it in to your PC/Laptop, it automatically gets connected with the system. Though it says that it has 1GB of capacity, in reality it has 955 MB of capacity. MY PERSONAL EXPERIENCE I am really impressed with the classy look and design of this USB flash drive. Particularly as it has no cap, so there is no fear of losing caps any more. It is also very light, small compact and very stylish. In my personal opinion, this flash drive works better with Vista compared to XP. Though nowadays, people usually use USB flash drive with much more storage capacity such as 4GB, 8GB or even 32 GB. Still this 1 GB drive serves me well, especially when I need to transfer some important course presentation and data...

Review of PNY Attaché Premium Capless - USB flash drive - 1 GB

Durable and Super-fast USB flash drive

Advantages: Water-proof, Shock-proof, 150x data transfer rate
Disadvantages: None

...If you want to invest in a durable and super-fast USB flash drive, then you will do well to invest in a Patriot Xporter USB flash drive. I needed to upgrade from my previous USB flash drive firstly because I needed to have more memory. Most importantly however, I wanted to make sure I bought a USB flash drive that could be tough enough to withstand regular usage for many years. This is because I know friends and colleagues who have used cheaper USB flash drives and many of them suffered because of this. Cheap USB flash drives can get easily broken, bent, or they just simply pack up altogether for no good reason. I did not want to experience any of these mishaps for myself. So although it was tempting for me to get a 4GB flash drive online for a fiver, I decided to purchase the Patriot Xporter for a bit extra. Yes, it does cost a bit...

Review of PDP PATRIOT Extreme Performance Xporter XT Boost - USB flash drive - 8 GB

a nice 8GB contraption

Advantages: capless concept, reliable, robust design
Disadvantages: a bit pricey compared to the competition

...Review of PNY USB Flash Drive - 8GB INTRO What I'm going to review is a USB flash drive made by PNY Technologies, Inc, a manufacturer of various computer gadgets that now is getting more and more famous and renowned. Among the most famous (and bought) products of this company there are: USB flash drives like this one, memory cards, GeForce graphic cards and RAM slots. I won't spend too much time saying what this device is for... you can use it for back-ups of your precious data, transfer files from computer to computer and so on and so forth... 8GB is plenty for all kind of users, the only higher capacity model for now reaches 16GB. DESCRIPTION This USB flash drive is quite nice looking, it doesn't beat my SanDisk (previously reviewed) but it has its own appeal. The best practical feature is perhaps its design. As it...

Ipod Touch 8Gb with engraving

Advantages: All the features of the iphone but without the massive price tag
Disadvantages: battery life could be better

...--Background-- I bought the iPod touch for my son for his 10th birthday. Before he alerted me to the item I knew nothing at all about it. Having played around with it for a few hours, I can now see what all the fuss is about as this item is so addictive. The touch comes in 3 guises, namely 8Gb, 16Gb and 32Gb versions. These are all identical apart from, obviously the storage capacity. --In the box-- I must admit that then the box came, I thought half the order had been missed as it is minute! Along with the ipod itself, you get the headphones, a usb to pc charger and a quick setup guide. Although this seem very little, it is actually enough to get you up and running in next to no time. As we bought this direct from the Apple store we were entitlted to free engraving on the back of the device. We took the decision to have his...

Review of Apple iPod touch 8 GB

THE 8GB MUSIC PLAYER.

Advantages: LARGE MEMORY, SOUND OUTPUT AND LONG BATTERY LIFE.
Disadvantages: : FRAGILE IN LOOKS.

...the I pod touch makes it quite a different and unique. The I pod touch is capable of storing large capacity of information well what actually do you think of a device that that has 8gb memory space. Like I wrote above, it is capable of 1500 to 1700 songs and on the other hand, capable of storing 10,000 pictures and also capable of playing video for the duration of 10 hours. In terms of videos, you can equally upload videos just like in music. You can upload movie but the issue with it is that the more you videos you put, the less you space In the music section, we have many categories like the album, artist, song title and genre these are the categories that make it very possible for you to make easy selections of your music. But what I don't like about the device is lack of external loudspeaker so it then means that if by mistake you...

Flash Drive - More Than Enough For Day To Day Work

Advantages: Small, Cheap, Easy to Use, Fast, Size - Enough for day to day work
Disadvantages: Chunky

...I originally picked up this USB flash drive for only £10 not too long ago and have been reasonably happy with what I've bought as a whole. Size (Digitally) **************** This drive is 2GB's in size making it excellent to carry a descent amount of work around with you no matter where you are or where your going. When putting the USB flash drive into the USB port it is extremely easy to use because this and most flash drives are plug and play devices which allow the device to be inserted and from that moment the user can use the device almost instantly after the system automatically installs it. Design ********* This flash drive can come in many other colours besides the colour blue as displayed in the Ciao picture. I also have a black one in the same size for example. There is a cap or top which is able to be pulled away...

Review of Integral Courier - USB flash drive - 2 GB

  iPod Touch 8GB

Advantages: intuitive, stylish, fun, great music player, variety of features, internet function
Disadvantages: fingerprints! no camera, no built in speakers, only available in black currently

... 8GB iPod Touch As my boyfriend's birthday approached, I was panicking as to what to get him as men are a nightmare to shop for and I really wanted to get something exciting. I noticed that he kept borrowing my ipod nano and initially planned to get him one of his own but on the Apple website I saw the ipod touch and worked out that if I got him that then I could steal it and use it! From the Apple website, the 8GB iPod Touch cost me £199 with free postage and packing and a free optional engraving. I thought this was a reasonable price it was nice and simple to order it online. I chose the free engraving option and this enabled me to have a two line engraving on the back (top centre) of the ipod. Obviously, it is a very good idea to check your spelling at this point as the ipod cannot be returned due your mistakes when...
