Discount Kingston DataTraveler I Generation 2 - 16 GB USB 2.0 Flash Drive DTIG2/16GB (Red)


This thing is extremely sturdy. It's also fast.

Ok, I left this in my sweater pocket when I did the laundry... it went through a hot cycle with soap and oxygen bleach, and 90 minutes of heat dry. I opened the sweater pocket later with a dire sinking feeling in my heart (what's happened to my pirated Star Wars Christmas Special that took me 4 days to download on dial-up?)[not actually true]... did anything survive the wild ride?

To my amazement, I plugged that bad boy back into my 486 lappie of terror and voila, it still worked... 10 stars for durability... 3 stars for the stupid clumsy thumb-switch that pushes the plug out. I'll settle for 5 stars.

Cheapest PNY Mini Attache 8GB USB 2.0 Flash Drive P-FD8GB/MINI-EF


First of all, let's educate ourselves. Flash drives are indeed electronic devices and must be treated as such. Just because it has a place to put in on your key chain, DON'T!!!!! Your key chains go everywhere & bang up against everything so you're asking for your drive to break if you put it on a key chain. Since USB flash drives are made for a computer, I keep mine by my computer. People complain about it breaking or cracking. These are NOT TOYS! It's made for the computer so keep it with your computer. You wouldn't knock around your laptop so don't knock around any object that connects to your laptop. DUH! Guess what, if you leave it with your computer like you are suppose to, it won't ever break. With that being said, it's great. I actually paid $20 for mine. I like the swivel because it keeps the USB out of the way because it's the most important part and must be protected. Also, the swivel means I can even keep it bent out of the way so nobody will bump into when they walk too close to the CPU and the USB port. The fact that this is mini is so convenient. I can slip it in my pocket if I'm leaving and will be using another computer outside my home. It's incredibly portable. It's got a ton of space on it. And I got free downloads from National Geographic just for buying it.Get more detail about PNY Mini Attache 8GB USB 2.0 Flash Drive P-FD8GB/MINI-EF.
