Advantages: large storage and build of quality
Disadvantages: expensive for a flash drive but you get what you pay for

...As a rule I try not to carry my laptop around with me, opting instead to transport files the easy way using USB flash drives, of which I have 3 due to the size of the files I have to load and upload. My first encounter with a flash drives came with the expensive yet disappointing Lexar and over the years I've steadily moved from one to another gradually increasing the memory size as the size of files seems to spiral out of all proportion! I paid just £65.99 for the Corsair Flash Voyager USB flash drive from our IT supplier and with a 32 GB memory I had anticipated it being my final purchase of a flash drive for a considerable period of time. Opting for a USB flash drive from a company like Corsair meant that I knew I would be getting a product of quality, and the Flash Voyager oozes quality and style. Compact and durable the drive can...

Advantages: Durable and Well built. Nice Design.
Disadvantages: Doesn't have any Swiss Army Knife accessories.

...This is a USB flash drive produced by Victorinox, makers of the Swiss Army knife. The design is basically a USB Swiss Army knife without the knife and accessories. The outer case is made of durable aluminium rather than the more traditional red plastic. The design is nice and much better than a lot of other flash drives, however I think i prefer the more iconic red plastic version. The drive is about 6 cm long, just over 1 cm wide and just under 1 cm high. The USB stick is clear plastic allowing you to see the circuit board inside, while the USB plug is gold coloured. The stick flips out of the case when in use and is held in place by a clip at the keyring end when being carried. A small green LED on the circuit board indicates activity when plugged into a USB port. The drive is USB 2.0 compatible and I have used it on both PC... Read review

Advantages: good looking small and compact
Disadvantages: small memory for larger files

...for nearly two years and not once has it failed to work, a couple of times it has taken a while to load up on a new computer but I think that that is down to a slow computer. Design This flash drive looks great, it really is stunning it has the sleek oval shaped design, with the key ring which slides around it really is quite beautiful to look at, and great to fidget with if you get bored too. Ease of installation Like most computer devices now days this flash drive comes with plug and play which means that you can basically plug it in to any computer provided it has a USB 2.0 slot and start to use the product hassle free. Ease of use Like I said its plug and play so you simply plug it in then it gets even easier if you go to 'my computer' then it will appear as 'Disgo' the simply click on that drive... Read review

Advantages: Small, High Capacity, Quick Transfer Rate
Disadvantages: None As Yet

...I bought this pen drive when I came across a website that I found on google by accident. They were selling it in their sale for £14.99. So I though that I would give it a try. It cam in the post, and I opened the bag that it came in, and I was shocked by the size of the pen. It was the smallest pen that I had ever seen. I was worried at first because it is so small that it would be easy to lose it, and I thought that I would very quickly. Although there is a hole at the end where you can put a clip through so you can attach it to something, i.e. around you neck, on a key ring, etc. It has a lid to keep the USB connection clean and so that it can not be broken. Once it has been taken off, you can plug it straight into the USB port on you computer. It works at its best via the USB 2.0 port. This allows high speeds of data transfer... Read review

Advantages: Stylish design. Available in a variety of colours.
Disadvantages: Too small and easy to lose. Flimsy carrying pouch.

...Sony's Microvault Tiny flash drives have been available for some time now and like other USB pen drives they are coming down in price and are available in increasing capacities. The pen drive itself is very easy to use. It works fine on Windows machines and Apple Macs. A small green light shows when data is being transferred. Like other pen drives they offer a highly durable way to store and transport files. What sets these pen drives apart from the rest are their looks. The design is very stylish and futuristic and in my view these are some of the nicest looking pen drives out there. They are available in a variety of colours, depending on the capacity of the drive. They are also the smallest and thinnest pen drives I have seen - smaller in real life than in the picture. It's amazing how much information can be stored... Read review

Advantages: fast, lifetime-warranty
Disadvantages: nothing

...I gave my 2GB Kingston flash drive a few months ago and I think it's really great. I can use it for Microsoft Windows Vista ReadyBoost to speed up my PC. It's not too expensive and it has got a life-time warranty. It's really fast and every operating system contents a driver to use it. If you want to buy a somewhat cheap flash drive, and need a good quality buy that. Most of new PCs can boot from USB nowadays. Thanks to the USB 2.0 technology I can boot up my favourite live Linux distribution from it and I can save it back when I finished the work. You can use it for system rescue too but if you don't need these special "features" just use it to store and move data. :)... Read review

Advantages: Small, stylish, very lightweight yet seems robust
Disadvantages: I suppose it's only 128mb yet plenty for my use

...Purchased this from ebuyer for a mere £8 - its now gone up a bit - but still a bargin. I mainly bought it to store backups of important letters and spread sheets, however thought I would see how it worked first with it being so cheap. Plugged it in to my USB port and sure enough XP recognised it staight away ( you can download drivers for 98 etc as they are not supplied). For my first time using one of these Flash Memory Drives it was very easy, it appeared as an extra hard drive under "my computer" in XP, opened it up and decided to copy and paste a few pictures to take around to a mates PC - just to see how it went. The jargon on back of packet says you can store 96 pictures from a 3MPcamera - I'm already up to 100 and it will take more - so it obviously depends how your camera compresses them. For those who want to know... Read review

Advantages: Waterproof, Tamper Proof, Capacity, USB 2.0, Slim, Plug and Play
Disadvantages: None

...Capacity *********** The digital capacity of this flash drive is 1GB which is the same as 1024MB which means it is extremely suitable for large amounts of work such as word documents and decent sized downloads such compressed files. Design ********** This is an extremely fancy flash drive from the look of it with its slim metallic look which can be very pleasing on the eyes however one of the faults with it that I have found with a lot of my flash drives that I own is that when I take the top off to reveal the USB adapter it is extremely easy to put the top down and lose it because I'm not able to attach it to the back end of the flash drive. I found that due to its slim nature it was easily able to fit into any USB port even with another USB port been used next door to it which I found a lot of flash drives that are being... Read review
