5 out of 5 stars Brilliant (and washing machine-proof)   January 6, 2009
Amazing bit of kit, quick to use, simple and lots of storage in a very compact package.

So compact in fact, I lost it. Only to find it a month later, caught in the the rubber seal of my washing machine. It must have gone through 14 or 15 wash cycles, the casing is scratched to hell but incredibly it STILL WORKS just as well as it did before. And all the stuff that was on it is completely fine.

Absolutely awesome.

Check postage before you order! I nearly got caught out! Item is listed at 0.01 but postage is 4.40. I checked to see how much ten items would be and it is 44.00. I don't know why Amazon permit people to fleece customers like this

4 out of 5 stars To Flash Or Not To Flash   November 22, 2008
 4 out of 5 found this review helpful

A Flash Drive (sometimes called a Pen Drive) is an external memory storage device that connects to computers via the USB port. They offer a durable, compact, and speedy method of transferring data, as well as acting as a back-up solution.

Flash drives are ever increasing in capacity and decreasing in cost, but there is one problem to the buyer. The variety available to you is huge. Simply typing the words "Flash Drive" into the search engine of Amazon.co.uk resulted in a staggering 2,709 results, so how do you pick one that meets your needs?

Almost everyone I know has a flash drive of some description. Some are bigger, some are smaller, some are different colours, some have an extendable (USB) bit, some come with built in encryption software, some come in novelty shapes and so forth. But alas they can also vary considerable in price.

Sadly I somehow managed to lose my existing Flash Drive a few weeks ago (slightly worrying actually as I was making bread at the time - but err, I'm told it tasted fine.) Anyway I was in the market for a replacement. I've used Kingston branded devices before, so I decided to invest in this 4Gb DataTraveler for the fantastic price of 6.29.

After using it, I would describe the flash drive as basic, good value with no frills. It's small and light but still feels robust and therefore reliable. It's neat and discreet in design, and it was recognised instantly by both of my computers as a mass storage device. It seems pretty fast in terms of data transfer time both too and from the computer (you can simply drag and drop data.) And the four gigabyte capacity offers everything I require (bigger models are available if you need more storage space). It also lights up when in use, which looks good if nothing else.

As expected with the price, there are no security features such as encryption software or a write protect slider switch. But my data (usually university work) isn't actually that valuable. If you were concerned you could simply password protect your files in a ZIP archive.

My only concern is with the lid. While keeping out dust and moisture, it is a bit small for my liking, as I'll probably end it loosing it. But other than that I haven't had any problems at all.

Overall, everything I needed for a single figure sum of money. If you're looking for a basic flash drive that delivers what it promises, then I would recommend this one.



5 out of 5 stars Good, cheap and flexible   November 19, 2008
Excellent little device for a great price. Formats into NTFS in moments and provides a good little tool for back ups as well as videos etc.
