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.... Read review

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... Read review

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... Read review

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...

Advantages: small, easy to use, litght(about 2 grams)
Disadvantages: havent longer USB cable

...This is one of the smallest USB-flash drives in the world, it’s surface made of plastic so you need to so it very carefully. Writing to this flash disk is very stable and writing speed isn’t jumping. In the complect box with this device you can find defending surface witch is easy to use(if you want to protect your flash drive, don’t remove it). There are drivers for win98(for win XP and win 2k user it is not needed because system identify it automaticaly) with instruction how to use it in complect. The only minus is that it haven’t longer cable for USB device so if your USB port is in other side of PC, you will have to stand up from a chair. There is a small test of this device 1. Access time (milliseconds) = 0.77 2. PCU utilization (Percent used) = 2.64 3. Transfer rate (beginning) (thousands bytes/seconds) = 8070 (8.070mb... Read review

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...

Advantages: Cheap, Easy, Convenient
Disadvantages: None!

...thingies (or "Flash Drives" as the non-technical amongst us like to call them) in various capacities, from a selection of manufactures. As I was looking to transfer quite a large amount of media, I decided bigger was better and looked at the higher end of the scale. Prices varied slightly from manufacturer to manufacturer, but PNY Technologies Attaché series were slightly cheaper than the competition: 512Mb Attaché @ £39.99 compared to Integral's Courier 512Mb @ £49.99. I decided to go for the 512Mb Attaché mainly due to the lower price, but also because it looked quite funky compared to the Courier. Getting home, I was eager to try out my new toy. Cutting open the plastic packaging caused a small shower of parts to end up in my lap: A funky clear, but very short, USB extension cable, a neck strap and the drive itself. The drive measures...

Advantages: Easy use, compact
Disadvantages: limited space

...I recently purchased this usb pen from a local computer retailer, in need of an alternative to a floppy disk i decided to take advantage of the technology i purchased this. I felt it was fantastic buy as i was stunned to how much simpler, faster and more efficient it is to carry around my school work on. To start up i immediatly pulled out the back on my computer and plugged in the USB extention lead, and placed the other end on my desk, this was quite tedious however luckily it only needed to be done once. Once i had places the extention lead on my desk then it was fine and has been for the last few weeks, i just remove and add my pen to it as i please. Usually when i install new hardware i expect to be waiting a long time over the installation and drivers, however with this one, the first time i plugged it in WinXP immediatly... Read review

Advantages: Cute looking!
Disadvantages: More expensive than some others

...Integral Splash drives are a really pretty alternative to the usual boring flash memory drives. They come in a variety of colours and capacities; mine is a pink 512 MB. The thing that first strikes you about them is the vibrant colour; they look really good on your keyring and it makes them really easy to find. Another design plus is the material; instead of the usual metal/plastic covering Splash drives have a squishy silicone outside which is really nice to hold and a raised-up logo which also provides some grip. The flash drive comes on a little chain with a silicone thing which you can fit the protective cap onto whilst drive is in use. This is incredibly helpful as you always know where the cap is and are less likely to lose it and end up damaging your drive. Size-wise it is smaller than most USB flash drives I've come...

Advantages: Compact, fast, good memory capacity
Disadvantages: A little bit fragile...

...around £40-£45 and can hold up to 512MB of data. Specs The unit itself is about 8cm long so it is very compact and can be easily put into your pocket. It is finished in a matt black colour. At one end of the stick is an adapter that allows the unit to be plugged into the computer’s USB socket. As mentioned above, the stick has a capacity of 512MB and this can be accessed at a very high speed, which means data is transferred from computer to memory stick (or vice-versa) extremely quickly. An indicator light on the stick flashes when the memory is being accessed. In Use It is a very simple process to use this memory stick. The unit simply needs to be plugged into the computer’s USB drive and then the operating system should pick the drive up. I use this stick on Windows 2000 PC’s and the operating system detects the memory... Read review
