Kingston USB 2GB Flash Drive

Advantages: Speed of small transfers
Disadvantages: No ReadyBoost, feels cheap

...Hi today I will be reviewing a Kingston DataTravler 2GB USB Flash Drive. I bought this a few months ago after losing my other flash drive. It cost me 9.97 from PC World but I believe you can get them cheaper in other places. Speed For the data that I transfer to it i.e. pictures and some small visual basic programs it transfers them extremely quick compared to some cheap flash drives I have used in the past. Problems So far I have had no major problems other than in windows vista it is not capable of running ReadyBoost which a free flash drive I had a while ago could. Size The overall size of the flash drive is quiet good the USB connector slides in and out with a rather flimsy press and slide switch. Feel The Kingston feels rather cheap and plastic considering the price I paid for it anyway. Over all this is not a bad...

Toshiba U3 USB Flash Drive 4Gb

Advantages: U3 support
Disadvantages: Intrusive programme everytime you plug it into a computer

...The Toshiba U3 flash drive provides a versatile way to store your memory. It comes in 4 sizes - 512Mb, 1Gb, 2Gb and 4Gb. It supports U3 and allows the user to install programmes on the USB drive, and then run it on the computer directly. --- the BASICS --- The Toshiba U3 flash drive is shaped as a normal USB drive - long and thin. It has a cap to cover the opening of the USB port. The cap is connected to the main part by a small string which comes with the drive. Other than that the drive has no other parts. The storage provided by the drive shows up as 3.79Gb. This is because 4Gb is actually 4,000,000 bytes. When divided by 1024 twice (into Kb and Mb) it is actually just 3.79Gb. Furthermore even more space is used up - this is illustrated by the fact that when the user plugs into the computer, it shows up as 2 drives - the removable...

Disgo lite USB Flash drive

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...

Corsair Flash Voyager USB flash drive - 32 GB

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...

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...

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.

...Overview I bought this USB flash drive direct from Toshiba, to transfer data between my laptop and desktop PC's. The first thing I noticed is that it is small and light, but it looks and feels a bit flimsy with its white plastic body, and there is some give in the plastic body when you grip it to plug it in, which did not inspire me with much confidence in it. It has a seperate small silver plastic cap, which could be very easy to misplace, but it clips firmly to the main body, so it would not easily fall off, even when dropped, and unlike some drives you do get a lanyard with it. However, in use it has proved to be very reliable and it is a lot more robust than it looks and feels, it has survived me dropping it onto my hard stone tiled floor on more than one occasion with no damage or malfunctions whatsoever. Data...

Sony Micro Vault Tiny - USB flash drive - 2 GB

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 on such...

A Flashing Flash Drive

Advantages: Visible data transfer signal, small and robust
Disadvantages: Easy to lose, possibly!

...particular the USB connector) there is a cap which fits snugly and stays put until you remove it making this drive ideal for slinging in a bag. There is a hole to attach a lanyard to the drive but, if I'm honest I'd like this to be a little bigger so that it would also accommodate a keyring. A minor issue though. As with all modern USB devices it's compatible with USB 1.1 and USB 2.0 ports which means that there are few devices out there to which you cannot connect. Just popping back to size again for a moment, there is also an upside to the simple design of the flashdrive in that there is no unnecessary width to the drive meaning that more often and not you can plug the drive into the most inaccessible USB ports and still have things attached either side. A huge bonus. The flashdrive is easy to use but is not quite "plug and play". You...
