Small is Plentiful

Advantages: tiny, cute, light, and plenty of space, can be added to a keyring
Disadvantages: not sure if it is waterproof, connector can be inserted wrongly and does not "click" into place

...I ordered this product as a replacement for my 1 GB Corsair Flash Voyager, which, due to its limited capacity, had started to look a bit long in the tooth. As my old USB flash drive had been a faithful companion over the years, I was happy to fork out a relative premium for the "Mini" version of the Flash Voyager. The drive arrived in the expected transparent plastic packaging (although it was good to see that Corsair was being nice to environment by using only a minimal amount of plastic - I also noticed a RoHS/Pb-FREE notice on the pack, which indicates that the drive is lead-free). As I always do, I checked the manufacturing country and was not surprised to see that the product had been assembled in China (as indicated by the "ASSY IN CHINA" blurb above the barcode). The drive itself is about 3.5 cm long and 2 cm wide...

Sweex for my Sweet!

Advantages: great price, surge protector, fast connection (USB 2.0)
Disadvantages: its pink!

...I required this product as my laptop has only two usb ports which is nowhere near enough for myself. Using usb for connectivity i have a mouse, webcam, printer, external hard drive and flash sticks. After browsing for some time, i found this for under 5 pounds which amazed me, notihng else really came close to this product in terms of its price. As it is only a hub and not a key component to my workstation, the qualoty of this product was not too important so the Sweex 4 port mini usb 2.0 hub was perfect! Anyone buying this or looking for a similar product should be sure to choose the right connection speed, 2.0 or a 1.1, if possible the 2.0 should be used as it is around ten times faster than the alternative. This product also protects your workstation from surges or malfunctions in hardware like external hard drives and the 3 L...

How Mini can you get?

Advantages: Lots of Space
Disadvantages: None Really

...This is indeed a mini USB stick! With 512MB its the best UBS Stick I have had in years! The measurements are about 700mm x 200mm x 70mm these measurements are lower compared to most USB Sticks. Like other USB flash drives it requires no drivers for plug and play except for Windows 98 Second Edition. It is create for storing photos, videos, music, documents and all the file you may need at school or the office. I have used this device for ages for transfering files between computer for backup and for work purposes! Its very handly no more floppy disks for me! Less chance of these device corrupting than a floppy and its more quick and easy to work with. Minimum System Requirements are: ? Pentium PC or Macintosh computer with USB support ? Windows 98SE, 2000, ME, XP ? Mac OS 9.1.x+, OS X v10.1.2+ ? USB 2.0 port...

USB fan for when its warm

Advantages: Cools you down nicely, Design looks nice, its cheap
Disadvantages: useless in the winter- hehe

...Ok, what will they come up with next in the line of USB gadgets... ooooo a fan... A bit pointless it seems but I got it anyway as it looked fun. Sure as expected it is a bit silly but the wind power it gives off isn't too bad. The one end goes into a USB slot- perhaps get a extender to reach the top of your monitor or a laptop is fine. Then I have mine stuck on top of the monitor using a bit of tape which does the job fine. I think it is mainly designed for a laptop user in a hot country. In that case I would love it more because it does actually make you feel nice. I play a lot of games as you may know and is it a bit sad that yeah? I do sweat playing them. Mainly because my brain is always thinking and I have to react fast. Scary situations always cause me the need to cool off? Well I have this now :) The design is very...

Review of Trust Mini USB Fan NB-1200p

SanDisk do it? Yes it San... er... Can!

Advantages: Small, easy to use, re-writable, reliable, extra caps, neck strap
Disadvantages: Might be too small, needs an extention cord for a desktop computer, still relatively expensive

...Have you ever needed to copy information from one computer to another when you didn't have a CD burner and the documents were too large for a floppy disk? One solution is to buy a CD or DVD burner drive. But those burners sometimes make errors, which you'll often discover only when its too late. Moreover, unless you're burning on a re-writeable disk, if you make a mistake you've wasted both the CD and the time it took to burn it. Plus, those CDs aren't quite as durable as we were led to believe. A scratch in the wrong place and your files will be unreadable. Finally, you don't always need 700mb (or more) of storage every time you want to take a bunch of files from one computer to another ? so again, burning a couple of files onto a CD seems wasteful. But now there's a new solution - USB storage. My boss bought two different kinds...

I don't trust Trust (Trust USB Light)

Advantages: Looks.
Disadvantages: Light, clip.

...The first of my USB lights, which made me realize those things probably aren't supposed to do the job I had expected them to. It's small, cheap, looks good and cute, but I found it useless. The cable is way too short and the clip cannot be attached to the laptop's lid side without risking the screen getting scratched, so the only stabile and safe position is on the top of the lid. I always got the light's reflection on the screen which bothered me, so the light was in the way of the screen and at the same time it wasn't strong enough to illuminate the keyboard satisfactorily. I didn't think it should be like a 4OWatt bulb, but this just wasn't enough. The beam which does reach the keyboard is a size of a Pringles crips, the rest sinks in darkness. You will find it annoying also if your laptop has USB ports only on sides, coz then...

High Speed Data Transfer Miracle

Advantages: Small, easy to use, fast data transfer
Disadvantages: The packaging needs a bulldozer to get into

...The SanDisk Cruzer Mini 128MB storage device is a USB device you can use to transfer data. It holds data, music, pictures, and just about anything else you wish to store. I first discovered these back in January when I was looking for a present for my dad?s birthday. He had been complaining about floppy disks not holding enough data, and CD?s being time consuming to burn. As he often needs to transfer data onto a client?s computer, I though this would be the perfect solution. He raved about this, saying that it was one of the best presents he?s had, so when my laptop was changed for one without a floppy drive, I decided to get one myself. Trawling the internet, I found the SanDisk Mini Cruzer for £20.99 on ebuyer. Not bad for a device that holds the equivalent of 100 floppy disks! Bearing in mind that a floppy holds about 1...

...to take away?

Advantages: it's a USB key
Disadvantages: Rather limited disk space (now)

.../ back up files and totally point less if you have just one file to copy and share. Nomad sharing: With the ever increasing number of PC users through out the world and the requirement for the mobility of file sharing. One would often find they were unable to share a file with another computer. Not everybody has Email. Not everybody is a whiz at networking. Not everybody had CD-RW and external Hard drives were still very difficult to configure. USB keys arrived on the scene. Plug it into a free USB port (plug & play) and you have a removable disk which can be shared on any PC with a USB port. The Iomega 128mb USB key does just that. This great little gadget fills the gap. The Iomega128 mini drive comes in a stylish silver hard plastic and aluminium metal strap to prevent losing the lid and there is also a belt clip. Very light...

Review of Iomega Mini USB 2.0 Drive - USB flash drive - 128 MB

Well worth the Money

Advantages: Fast, compact, easy to use, cheap
Disadvantages: Buggy driver for Windows 98SE

...As a ICT student at college, transferring work from my home pc to the college pc's and back again was a definite necessity, and it wasn't long before my coursework had grown over the floppy disc compatibility limit. I had a look on some computer websites and found these flash drives, and decided that 128Mb was plenty enough for me, and went for the cheapest one that I could find - Sandisk's cruzer mini. I bought one for me and one for someone else in my ICT class, and they were around £20 each. Neither of us have had a problem since we have had them. Data transfer is fast, due to the USB 2.0 compatibility of these drives (although they work fine with USB 1). Not only were these drives the cheapest, but they look great and each come with a neckstrap and two spare caps (to go over the USB connector). The cruzer mini requires no...

Everyone thought i had three flashdrives when i changed the covers over) ***Instructions Manual*** The instruction manual is very easy to understand and is clear. Each language out of 14 has 2 pages of instructions which isnt alot at all as the manual is very small. In each language there are 5 simple steps to installing the flashdrive. Most of the installation is done on the internet though to make it easier. You must have the internet...
