Advantages: very fast, very secure, very small, comes with a neck strap, has a lifetime warranty
Disadvantages: uumm doesn't come in many colours

..., but I hardly took note of them. However, after my experience with this flash drive I know what I will expect from them in the future, they do manufacture good products (maybe). Note ---The jet flash is compatible with many operating system including windows vista, XP, 98(second edition), 2000, Apple Mac O.S 9.0 or above, Linux 2.4.2 or above. ---I have not really seen this in many shops, the first time I bought it was the first time I had heard of it, but I did check it out on Amazon after I bought it to see if I had got a bargain and yes it was there for a cheaper price. However I am sure you would possibly find it in many electrical shops, however the price could be higher than the price I bought it at for the reason that the January sale is all gone now and the original price before was £39.99 for this 8GB Transcend V10...

Advantages: Large space, nice appearance, affordability, fast performance, pretty design...
Disadvantages: No extra goodies or bundled software!

...Actually, I should be writing this review under the 8GB version of the same series. But, I didn't find the product listed in here; so, I'm writing this review here. Besides, there isn't much difference between this 2GB version and the 8GB version except for the extra 6GB and the colour (the 8GB sticks come in black colour) Looks/Design - 8/10 I really liked the design. I guess I find this to be good because I also own a Transcend Jetflash V60 which is simply horrendous when it comes to looks. I also like the colours that this little thing comes in. Performance - 7/10 I never believe in the claimed read and write speeds. So, I did my own testing using professional softwares. The following is what I got:- Total Capacity - 7.5GB Random write speed - 5.5MB/s Sequential write... 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, High Capacity, Quick Transfer Rate
Disadvantages: None As Yet

.... There is a light on it that tells you when it has connected and it flashes when data is either being read, or is being written to the pen. It has the capacity to hold a lot of different types of files. This cheap pen would be more than enough to transfer data from one computer to another quickly and easily. I would recommend this pen to anyone. I have found no problems with it so far. The only other product I would consider buying instead of this pen is the 2GB version, which costs a lot more....

Advantages: fast, value for money, vista readyboost compatible
Disadvantages: none

...The 2Gb SD card from Transcend should be your first choice, often looked at as inferior to kingston and other manufactures however the performance of the card is the same and by comparing the prices you get more for what you pay. Fast transmission from card to pc and large capacity; with a 6 megapixel camera which is standard these days you can store around 600-700 pictures which is more than enough for a whole holiday. You can also use the sd card for vista's readyboost function - simply insert the card in a slot (or card reader) and if you are not automatically promted/given choice what to do next, go to my computer and right click on the sd card icon. choose property and then navigate to the readyboost tab, where you can choose how much memory you want to make available to readyboost. What is readyboost? It is a feature within... 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: no cap, large sorage space, U3 software is useful
Disadvantages: U3 auto-installing may annoy some people

...Firstly this USB drive is quite small, it looks good and as soon as you plug it in a big orange light starts up, it doesn’t have a cap (so you won't lose the cap!) and comes with a neck strap. The USB data transfer is quite fast, there is not much lag and the computer immediately picks up that the USB stick is plugged in. However as soon as you plug in the stick then it starts to install the U3 software on the PC, this could annoy some people but the software is very useful. You can download many free portable ap’s and can synchronise the USB with the PC using this, its a useful feature and also includes some security features, preventing nosey people looking through your files. The U3 software also has an instruction manual/tour on it, preventing the need for there to be any paper manuals with the device. The 2GB...
