Small is Beautiful

Like other reviewers, I bought this because I wanted one - but - its excellent! When I think that (not sooo many years ago, my Compaq 486 came with a 210Mb HD that I didnt think Id EVER fill up, 256Mb in this size is amazing!). No set-up with ME, it recognises it straight away as a removable HD, from then on its just drag & drop. Dont know if Id risk carrying it around on my keyring, although its light enough. Just a tad wary of dropping it or bashing it around, simply because it IS so light. Have strongly recommended my eldest daughter to buy one (Ill probably end up doing so)so that she can copy her Uni dissertation from Durham and bring it back to the West Midlands, work on it then take the updated version back to Uni following her hols. And MP3 quality is excellent! And JPEG! Buy one now - or wait for the inevitable price decrease/size increase. But you DO need a flash drive.

A nice little toy

I bought the pen drive for particular reason than I wanted one really, I have to say that I think this drive was incredibly good value for money. I have found it easy to use on XP and 2000 machines where it has had very little setup time and can be used without administrator privileges (which might be a problem in some organisation). All in all a useful little device to have around.

High speed data transfer solution

This tiny and extremely lightweight (about 11 grams!) gadget is the ultimate solution for easy data transfer, and with USB2.0 connectivity, its lightning quick and reliable. Compatible with Windows 2000, ME and XP, Mac and Linux without the need to install any drivers makes it really easy to use. Just plug it in to your system and it appears as a removable disk, although you do have to unmount it before you pull it out of the USB port, although this simply involves clicking on an icon and is no hassle at all. You do however have to install a driver for Windows 98, which comes on an enclosed CD, and I dont know if it will work at all on earlier versions of Windows for that matter... There are loads of these little flash pen drives on the market, but they are all pretty much the same value for money as this one. It comes furnished with some handy little accoutrements, like a neck-strap (more useful for helping you find the damn thing) and a very handy USB extension cable so you dont have to reach around the back of your PC everytime you want to use it. After you buy one of these, youll wonder how you ever lived without it before.
