Advantages: Its got 8GB, Its dirt cheap and it comes with great bunch of softwares!
Disadvantages: Looks, below standard transfer rates, size, horrendous colours etc.

...I bought this 8GB USB flash drive immediately after hearing about how cheap these things came for. I've spent a few days with this thing. So, here's a genuine review. Looks - 3/10 When I first saw this stick in the sealed cover, I thought "Jeez! This thing looks really flashy and cheap!". After a few days of usage, I still hold the same view. The whole body of the drive is made of cheap plastic. On the front surface, it has a shining, flickering flashy coloured surface. When in the port, the stick's butt flickers with an orange light. The V60, in no way, goes well with my sleek, black laptop ( I guess it was basically my fault that I bought it...*sigh*...but do read on to get an exhaustive view of this stick). I would really like to meet someone who would actually vote the V60 for its looks. So, it gets... Read review

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

...I bought this 8GB Transcend Jet flash V10 a few days after the New Year. As you know I'm the sort of person who likes to walk around with lots of memory around me as I got loads of junk to keep. With the January sales flying around I had to walk around the shops and surf the net looking for real bargains. That's when I came across the 8GB Transcend Flash Drive for only £24.99 on Moby memory website, which is an internet shop that's sells a lot of gadgets mainly to do with mobiles and digital cameras. I did not stop their, I quickly added my 8GB Transcend Flash Drive to the basket and checked out, although I had to pay extra money for the delivery which was rather cheap. I really did not want to miss the chance of buying this 8GB Transcend V10 Flash Drive for the reason that I knew it would keep thousands of files including all... Read review

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, cheap, compact, dropable and machine-washable
Disadvantages: Small Capacity. Difficult to plug 2 sticks in side by side.

...clumsy guy and I haven't managed to break it yet. Corsair provide a ten year warranty, so I'll probably lose mine before I manage to break it. This stick is fast. I've heard that the Transcend JetFlash range are faster, but the flash Voyager sticks are the fastest I've used personally. The 512 doesn't seem to be as fast as the latest 4gb and 8gb Flash Voyager sticks, but I don't know whether something has changed in the manufacturing process or it just appears slower to me. Overall this stick is still fast, or as fast as you need such a small stick to be. It's compact, although not tiny, and it feels like it will survive a fair few drops (mine certainly has). 512MB sticks are pretty cheap these days, although I'd personally spend a little more and get a 1GB version, especially if you want to keep MP3s or videos on the stick...

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.

...and Apple Macs with no problems. The manufacturers claim that it will work with USB 1.1 ports but it doesn't work with those in my keyboard. The transfer of data is as fast as any other flash drive I have used. The drive comes preloaded with security software to prevent unauthorised access to your data although this only seems to be compatible with Windows machines. I picked this stick up for £15 which is a bit expensive for the amount of storage but not too bad. Overall this a decent USB stick that works well and is a more attractive design than most. It feels very durable and well put together. The 1 GB model is large enough for everyday use although there are larger sizes available. Some people may prefer Victorinox's other USB Swiss Army Knives which have the usual knife and accessories in addition to the USB stick. However... Read review

Advantages: Fingerprint and/or password encryption, relatively cheap given the features, range of capacities
Disadvantages: Encryption requires running software and is Windows-only, protective cover not that protective

...Wanting some storage I can carry with me and keep on my keyring, I was aware that it could potentially fall off and was more likely to lose. I'm not so worried about the cost of replacing the key (most are cheap enough to be nearly disposable now), but I was concerned about other people accessing my data. Therefore I need a key which encrypts or just restricts access to unauthorised users. I use Windows at home, and as I sometimes use Linux machines at work I wanted something which I could use on both, so I had the idea of getting one with fingerprint authentication on the stick itself. As a result I chose the JetFlash 220 flash drive from Transcend, as it advertised "driverless use" so I figured I could use it on any operating system. Unfortunately this is not the case - it is completely driverless, if you just want to use... 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
