...--------------------------------------------------------------------------- Dane-Elec zMate Pen USB2.0 Nacre - USB flash drive - 1 GB ----------------------------------------------------------------------- ---- Well I think that this is going to be the shortest review that I have ever wrote, I mean you can't really write much about a memory stick can you. So here goes. I purchased the Dane-Elec about five months ago because I frequently needed to move work between the two computers that I needed and as I am I always like to have a decent one if I'm going to buy one at all. So after looking around many different places and comparing all the different prices I came to the conclusion of this one. As it happens I purchased this from my favourite computer store. SCAN. This is quite good for me really as I live in Bolton and which... Read review

Advantages: Cheap, easy to use, transportable.
Disadvantages: A little on the chunky side, space an issue

...quoted is nothing short of a bit of a lie. My four bought drives each give roughly 247mb of space. While this is pretty close to the expected figure, certainly not really worth taking it back to the US over, it is still a little irritating. However, I have since come to realise that this is standard policy for all USB flash drives. In terms of what size to get, i have found 256mb ample for my needs. It's quite speedy to transfer data, not to mention the plug-and-play capabilities which mean you don't need to install anything to get the drive to work. It support USB 2.0 as well as 1.0, and transferring a full capacity of songs took me about 40 seconds, which works out at around 6mb/s. This is perfectly quick for me, but if speed is essential there are likely to be quicker models out there. On the DaneElec website, the flash drives are quoted... Read review

Advantages: Key chain ring
Disadvantages: So tiny!

...This pen drive is a bit old and to be honest not even worth looking at! Out there you WILL find better deals if you brought new it would cost you £12.49!!! The only thing I like about this is the handy key chain ring which means you can take it anyhere--- very helpful Im sure as whereever you go your keys follow! The downflaw is now with this is simply the size of the drive- its only 128MB and you can now buy them on the high street for £30 with a massive 8Gig (about 60 times larger!) Although it does look very cool and the swoop of the cap is a innovative design its purely not worth it! AND as its USB you dont need to install any sofware so thats an obvious plus when taking it from place to place... A very little and pointless device that purely just isnt worth it due to its poor memory! Why dont you buy one with more... Read review

Advantages: Key chain ring :D
Disadvantages: Data transfer a bit slow :D

...I have this pen drive and to be honest its getting a bit old but who cares?! Iv had it for about 18 months and it still works perfectly! Back then 2gb memory was quite a big deal even now its more than I need :D Im sure out there you will find better deals if you brought new though the thing I like is the handy key chain ring which reans I can take it anywhere with me--- very helpful as why I am so am my keys! The downflaw is now with the advancements in technology the speed of data trandfer on this isnt very good! Its not a massive fact for me as I really onlu use it for school work etc but in a business its just not practicle! As its USB you dont need to install any sofware so thats a plus when taking it from place to place...A great little device that served me well... worth a lot second hand a £7 Bargain!... Read review

Advantages: small, cute and it works
Disadvantages: none yet

...Oh God - how do you write a scintillating review about a bit of plastic with a tiny circuit board in it. Well here it goes. Overview = Don\'t doubt it - it works great, is fairly attractive and tiny. Appearance Its a little beauty. A tiny thing - it really is. Only 5 cm long with the cap on and 2cm wide. No bulging pockets here - in fact you\'re more likely to lose it than anything, especially given this models black colour. Its made of a slightly rubberised plastic which is grippy and non-slip - feels good to the touch! When the cap is removed you can see about half a cm of the innards through a see-through plastic section. presumably so you check the insides havent fallen out. Performance = Never once let me down. The transfer rate on USB 2.0 is nippy and of course back-compatible to 1.1 where... 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: Excellent price - about 12p per megabyte, needs no drivers
Disadvantages: Need Windows XP

...I first saw the Dabs value Easy Disk memory stick when I was reading my latest Dabs Special Offers' email, and noticed that they were selling it for just £10. I jumped at the chance to own one, as did my brother. It was an amazing price to get 128MB of storage and on the Hi-Speed USB 2.0 format too. I really needed some kind of portable storage as I go to college a few days a week on a computing and electronics course, and I needed to be able to take some of the assignments home. My work totalled up to about 10 MB, and I hated using floppy disks as I found them so unreliable, often they would need re-formatting or they would just stop working, so I just gave up on them. As the college computers don't have CD drive burners, I decided I would have to make the most out of the USB ports that they do offer. I realised by purchasing a USB... Read review

Advantages: Classics, original, music from the Stones Hayday
Disadvantages: Too old for some

...if many of the tracks would seem 'Out of Time' to quote one of the Stone's tracks.The album was originally released in 1975 but this release does have extra tracks. I guess it is the Stones' attempt to fully join the 21st Century, by releasing Rolled Gold on USB. There is still the option to buy as a double CD and the price on Amazon is just under £12. The first half a dozen so tracks are from the Stone's early period of recording. They show their roots which were firmly in Rhythm and Blues and the Blues. Now this rhythm and blues is not the same as what is classified in that genre these days. Most , if not all, of these few tracks had been previously recorded by American Artists. Mick Jaggers lazy, drawling style on Little Red Rooster is as distinctive as ever. Not Fade away takes me back to our schoolyard rendition of: I'm gonna tell you... Read review
