Kingston 1Gb Flash Drive

Advantages: Compact, fast, reliable
Disadvantages: Lack of transportation strap

...I remember when USB flash drives hit the market a few years back when you could fit a staggering 16Mb worth of data on a device the size of your middle finger. Since then capacity has increased and prices have decreased at an alarming rate. For example you can now get 4Gb flash drives for cheaper than the original 16Mb drives which represents great value for money. --Whats in the box -- Contents of the box are minimalistic to say the least, there is the drive itself and a little strap which you can then use to attach the drive to your belt/keyring, etc. This device really is plug and play in its simplest form, there arent even any instructions supplied with it, mainly because none are required. -- Useage -- Plugging the drive into a spare USB slot will give you an extra drive in Windows Explorer (My Computer) typically F...

Review of Kingston DataTraveler I - USB flash drive - 1 GB

A slim and compact USB Flash Drive.

Advantages: Slim, compact, very trendy outlook and fast performance.
Disadvantages: None really.

... PNY Attaché? is one of the most famous USB Flash Drive brands introduced by PNY to the customers. It has various series with different characteristics and unique facilities. These series are such as Attaché Optima, Attaché Original, and Attaché Premium etc. All of them have a very trendy and unique outlook and they come with various storage capacity.

LET?s GET STARTED It has a very slim and classy outlook with swivel design. It means, this USB Flash Drive has no cap, instead you need to pull it out from the main frame and plug in...

Victorinox Swissbit USB flash drive - 1 GB

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...

Review of Swissbit SWISSMEMORY USB Victorinox retroALOX - USB flash drive - 1 GB

Sony Micro Vault Tiny - USB flash drive - 1 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...

Review of Sony Micro Vault Tiny - USB flash drive - 1 GB

A 'Must Buy' Flash Drive

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...

Handy little flash drive

Advantages: nice, damage-proof, user-friendly, not bad price
Disadvantages: with little more you can buy a much bigger one

...happy with this product. I don't know what I could complain of. It works good and fast (as fast as a USB 2.0 goes), it's nice looking and damage-proof thanks to its rubber layer... so no, I can't really list any bad point. PRICE AND FINAL CONSIDERATIONS This flash drive can be purchased on Play.com for £5.99 which is perhaps not the greatest deal right now since the 4GB one costs £6.49 (only 50p more) or else you can buy two of 4GB each for £10.49! So, no, I do not suggest to purchase this model but I do suggest one of its bigger brothers of the same brand because they are very valid. I have also bought the 4GB and 8GB. My father now uses the 1GB one for work where he only needs it for MSOffice documents, so nothing extraordinary big, while you might want to go for the 4GB or 8GB if you're planning to store or transfer pictures...

Bullet Proof Flash Drive I Guess

Advantages: Waterproof, Shock proof, Password protection, Rubber ring design
Disadvantages: None

...the problem of having an extra power lead that needs to be plugged into a socket in the wall like some external hard drives at the moment. Specifications *************** Capacity: 1GB Interface Type: USB 2.0 OS Required: Microsoft Windows XP/ Windows Vista Conclusion ************ I found this USB flash drive extremely useful especially with some extra features that some flash drives don't have at the moment. I recommend this to anyone that has a decent amount of work that needs to be carried around on disk....

Viking USB 2.0 Flash Drive 1GB

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...

1GB of Fleur - Sucking not recommended

Advantages: 1GB of data storage
Disadvantages: colour and the gimmick

...**SanDisk Cruzer Fleur - USB Flash Drive -- 1GB** - Welcome to the 'Pink dummy' flash drive - *- A small summary -* SanDisk, has the highest volumn as in (sales per unit) for data storage. -- No other data storage business has the retail portfolio that SanDisk boasts. Their Headquaters are based in California, so it is understandable that they have decided to design a 'California Girl' pink version. Going for the girlie market, it appears ScanDisk have opted for the most gimick orientated portable drive ever. Hands-up if you like this dummy. Their site is: www.sandisk.com Dr. Eli Harari in 1988; designed the most smallest memory card; It wasn't marketed till the early 1990's, and by 1997, the portable drive became a household compliance. The memory Keys were to be exported to over 200,000 major retail outlets. Two...

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...
