Advantages: High capacity, Auto-sync software
Disadvantages: High initial cost

...The sony micro vault is a lightweight and practical solution to the hassle of transferring files one from one location to another. It's light weight and small size mean that it can easily fit into a trouser pocket or laptop bag. The USB 2.0 interface means that it will be compatible with nearly all pc's purchased within the last 6-7 years, removing the hassle of burning CD's or DVD's only to find that the destination computer's drive does not support their speed or format. USB 2.0 means that files will transfer quickly and easily, with 5GB taking just a couple of minutes.

Advantages: no cap, large sorage space, U3 software is useful
Disadvantages: U3 auto-installing may annoy some people

...Firstly this USB drive is quite small, it looks good and as soon as you plug it in a big orange light starts up, it doesn’t have a cap (so you won't lose the cap!) and comes with a neck strap.

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... Read review
