Integral '360' Flash Drive 16GB

Advantages: Large capacity, slick design, useful features.
Disadvantages: A little bit pricey.

...Although I have owned a number of USB Memory Sticks in the past I always end up losing one from time to time. I still own a few, but one of my personal favourites is the Integral Secure 360 16GB USB Memory Stick. Priced at around £25 it certainly isn't cheap. In comparison to other brands it is towards the higher end of the range, but is it worth it? The design is quite innovative, offering the user 'Secure Lock', meaning it can be secured in the closed position, protecting data and the USB connector in the process. The '360' refers to the fact that the stick rotates 360degrees on a fixed axis inside the casing. Overall the design is something I like and with this sort of product there are three things I take into consideration, price, brand and design. Integral is a brand I am familiar with, and so this product doe...

Review of Integral 360 - USB flash drive - 16 GB

SanDisk Cruzer Micro USB 2 Flash Drive 4GB

Advantages: High quality, good speed, encryption.
Disadvantages: U3 features limited to Windows

...logy at lower prices. Ten years ago, I ppurchased two 32MB flash drives from dabs for £50. For the time, 32MB seemed a giant leep from the 1.44MB floppies, and indeed it was quite a leep at 30x capacity. At the current price of £25, there's been a 2000x increase in capacity in the last ten years. Now thats really quite impressive.Looking at the 4GB flash drive from todays point of view, as supposed to the 2007 view, its beginning to appear more and more ancient. USB 2 is becomming a thing of the past, as USB 3 picks up pace in the affordable marketplace, and there are already many high capacity drives out there. I doubt there'll be much use for only 4GB in the next few years. If I was writing this review in 2007, I'd recommend you buy this flash drive. Its an excellent flash drive, the value for money is great, the...

Review of SanDisk Cruzer Micro - USB flash drive - 4 GB

Excellent value 8GB USB 2.0 flash drive

Advantages: Compact, swivel design with key ring attachment, good price
Disadvantages: none

...Introduction: I was looking for a >6GB i.e. at least 8GB USB flash drive to create a 'bootable' recovery USB drive for my Toshiba NB250-107 netbook. The cheapest on the web is this one direct from 7dayshop.com at £7.79 inclusive of VAT and delivery. I have purchased from 7dayshop.com before for other stuff and therefore their own brand product should not be too bad. However if I order the same item from via Amazon market place or eBay for the same 7dayshop.com, the item will cost > £8.50 - some commission there. The latest price of the same item from the same shop today - £7.29 direct from 7dayshop, £7.80 from Amazon Market Place, £8.39 from eBay. Other brand (Kingston, SanDisk, ByteStor) cost around £9 or above. What is in the package: One 8GB USB drive. Installation and setup: No need to download any driver if your...
