Victorinox Swissbit USB flash drive - 512 MB

Advantages: Durable and Well built. Nice Design.
Disadvantages: Doesn't have any Swiss Army Knife accessories

...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. 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. 512MB isn't a huge amount of memory these days so I would recommend going for at least the 1GB model. 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, for transporting data, especially on planes, this device may be the sensible option....

Review of Swissbit SWISSMEMORY USB Victorinox retroALOX - USB flash drive - 512 MB

Lexar JumpDrive USB 512mb

Advantages: Portability, ease of use, money saver, plug-and-play.
Disadvantages: Small (ish) storage capacity.

...Lexar JumpDrive Secure ll is a USB flash drive with a good 512mb storage capacity. It boasts plug-and play functionality, allowing you to pop it into any usb drive on a mac, pc or server and drag and drop files 'to and fro' as desired. (Ease of access depends on the o/s you have installed, i use both OSX10 and vista, both work great!) Now 512mb isn't exactly the king as storages spaces go (you can get upto 8gb now!!!) but its perfect if you only transfer the smaller files such as word docs, the odd song or two. If you are moving larges directories then this isn't for you and would recommend you look at the size of file/directory you have and purchase accordingly. Perfect for the school/college user and you can pick them up for around £5.00 give or take a penny or two, so it is hardly a wallet burner. Lexar is a well trusted...

Review of Lexar JumpDrive Secure II - USB flash drive - 512 MB

**512MB memory all on a stick**

Advantages: A lot of memory 512MB worth
Disadvantages: It can get lost in a brief case

...**DELL USB MEMORY STICK** -- USB Flash Drive 512 MB -- - Dell - Dell is now the 25th most wealthiest corporation in the US. Why Dell has done so well is due to the smaller component sales -- such as the USB Flash Drive memory keys, among many other computer components. That is a digital USB device. Dell was founded by Michael Dell in 1984 and was originally named 'PC limited'. At that time IBM was the main specialists in computer products and components worldwide. Michael learn't his trade by using IBM mainframe computers on processing speeds of only 2MHz. A 'MHz' is a tiny fraction of the kind of processor speeds that are in the market today. Dell's visionary could see beyond the systems he worked with and wanted to find away to quicken up data processing and so got to work on building a prototype. In 1985 he managed it...

Review of Dell USB Memory Key USB flash drive - 512 MB

Looks good with its flashing LED

Advantages: Reliable
Disadvantages: Might lose its head

...Due to changes in the way we operate our computers at work it was deemed necessary to supply us with Memory sticks. I was not involved with the choice, myself along with my colleagues were all supplied with these Integral USB 2.0 splash drives with a 512MB capacity. That is over 60 of the little beasties. For those who do not know what a memory stick is, let me explain. All media (word processors, pictures, videos, presentations etc) can be stored electronically; normally you will save media to the internal hard drive of your computer. If you want to move media from one computer to another you can email it (provided both computers have internet access), if both computers share an intranet connection (server, once only found in offices these are now more common in homes with broadband and routers) then the media can be shared...

Review of Integral USB 2.0 Splash Drive - USB flash drive - 512 MB

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...

Review of PNY Attaché Premium Capless - USB flash drive - 1 GB

Always Handy. TwinMos USB2.0 Mobile Disc IV 512mb

Advantages: Spare-Caps, Reliable, Cheap
Disadvantages: Basic, NOthing Special, 512mb

...The Mobile Disk IV is your basic 512mb USB2.0 Drive. The 'Hi-speed' appears no faster than any other 512mb USB drive, and believe me, I have more than a few. The main competitive advantage of the 'Twinmos' is that it was supplied with spare end caps, not an obvious problem, yet I'm positive anyone who has used similar items on a regular basis, can surely relate to; However if the problem's clearly there, instead of the cost of manufacturing spare caps, would a better investment not be to equip the usb stick with a swivel, or essentially non-looseable lid. The outer casing feels sturdy enough for day-to-day life and the stick has a robust feel, like it'll last any coat pocket or briefcase journeys. The device is not too big, nor really small, just your average size USB. presented in a smart purple color, it features a useful hole...

Flash Voyager - A quick trip through the wash

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

...I love these sticks. In fact I collect them. I think they look good, feel good and well... they're generally good. I've only ever had one fail, and that was one that stopped working on day one so at least I didn't have to worry about having lost the latest version of my work. It also served as a reminder that no matter how reliable something usually is it's always important to have an up to date backup! The stick itself is made out of some sort of rubber, the only problem here is that black rubber seems to attract little white bits of fluff. however the advantage being that rubber doesn't rattle around in your pockets or your bag. The 512MB version is a bit small for what I need today, but if you only need to carry smaller documents this stick is great value for money. The 512MB stick I had came with a USB extension cable...

Review of Corsair Flash Voyager USB flash drive - 512 MB

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...

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

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...
