Summary: Pocket Rocket
Review: This is one of those gadgets that can quietly change the whole way you do computing. With a half gig of storage (one gigabyte also available) it is possible to put major chunks of one's work on a device about the size of a cigarette light. For most folks, they could put all of their stuff on it. The no-moving-parts drive is even fast enough to us as a regular drive for many purposes. That means that you can carry everything in your pocket.And that means that - anywhere there is a computer with a USB port, you are about 10 seconds from being in business. Gone are the days of carrying around a portable as a permanent part of one's dress code. In addition, all kinds of new devices are coming with USB ports, so the JumpDrive is the SneakerNet of the future. Reliability is good. Generally if it stands up to a week of being plugged into one place after another it will last without any problems. Do keep in mind, though, that USB is a mechanical connection and you have to be careful. Especially if you are a klutz like me. As it happens this device has already saved be from a major data crisis. Anything that will turn a hit into a near miss is well worth this price.
