Of course I'm biased, but I think this review is really good. Once you get one of these USB flash drives, you'll wonder how you lived without one. Can't decide between a budget or a premium model? Take a look...
With today’s busy, digital lifestyle USB flash drives are a necessity. I find myself constantly shuttling information between home and work. At each location, my data is transferred from one computer to the next. To be sure, there are more elegant, sophisticated solutions: Bluetooth, Ethernet, and WiFi networks come readily to mind. But for quick and easy, with no setup involved, it’s hard to beat the good ol’ “sneakernet.” This term was originally used for moving files from one machine to another using floppy discs (and Nike’s). USB flash drives have pretty much replaced floppy discs as well as the larger Zip discs for almost all users, due to their larger capacity, diminutive size, and affordable cost. In fact, 7.6 million of these units were sold in 2004, and even more growth is expected over the next few years.
While $275 is a little steep for such a device, at least it won't go out of date too soon. To my knowledge, this is one of only a few reviews of either drive, and more comprehensive than anything out there.
