A slim and compact USB Flash Drive.

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

...with the system. It has a basic Plug n Play facility and supports almost all the operating systems such as windows XP and windows VISTA. After plugging it in to your PC/Laptop, it automatically gets connected with the system. Though it says that it has 1GB of capacity, in reality it has 955 MB of capacity. MY PERSONAL EXPERIENCE I am really impressed with the classy look and design of this USB flash drive. Particularly as it has no cap, so there is no fear of losing caps any more. It is also very light, small compact and very stylish. In my personal opinion, this flash drive works better with Vista compared to XP. Though nowadays, people usually use USB flash drive with much more storage capacity such as 4GB, 8GB or even 32 GB. Still this 1 GB drive serves me well, especially when I need to transfer some important course presentation and data...

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...

Review of Kingston DataTraveler 100 - USB flash drive - 2 GB

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

... Overview I first got this when a 64mb flash drive was seen to be massive and since then I have never looked back, it really is tough as nails. Memory This is the smaller 64mb flash drive which may seem small but it can hold a lot, as a student I always have to make, edit and transfer documents so if I constantly have to print out copies it becomes expensive and tiring so it's easier to stick it on a flash drive and give it to a teacher. Even when I have had much larger files like pictures that I have been giving to friends I have used this and found that there is plenty of space; however I do recommend that if there are a lot of photos that you zip the file and then put it onto the drive as it saves a lot of space. Reliability Like I said before this flash drive is tough as nails I have had this now...

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!

...will have to install the embedded software to make it talk to your PC. This is done automatically through the use of a set up wizard and is a one time operation per device. The flashdrive I have can hold 256MB of information. When plugged into the computer an LED (red in this case) will flash steadily to let you know that it's connected. This has the dual advantage of being a reminder to you not to leave it behind (so easy to do!). During data transfer the flash rate increases to give you a visible clue that data is being transferred. For non-techies this is a great help as you're not left wondering whether it's working. To transfer files you can use the now common "drag and drop" method from your computer desktop. You can also cut and paste if you find that easier. There's no built in firewall with this drive so care must be taken...
