Summary: Connectivity USB Flash Device
Review: This USB device is great it works for me in Win2000 an WinXP with absolutely no problem. It is fast and all the information stored will be there any time that you need it, this device has to replace the old and not functionality Diskettes. There is so many brand like this device, but the price of this one is no to high. It is the best for taking any kind of information to anywhere. I'm so happy to have it.

Summary: Kiss your floppy disks goodbye!
Review: Used to be that you could depend on the venerable floppy disk to adequately store your files. The advancement of technology has also brought an increase to the file sizes for everything from word processing files to graphics. And although hard drives have increased in size, the floppy drive--long a standard component of the PC--has remained the same. And it's no longer the best way to store your files.

Enter the USB flash drive.

Like a miniature hard drive, the USB flash drive writes data to a small flash memory module. Like a floppy, the USB flash drive stores data without the need for any power. But unlike a floppy, it is smaller, holds more data and is less prone to data loss. Most drives of this type can store data for 10 years!

If you're using Windows XP or Linux, this flash drive is recognized without any further configuration on your part. Just plug it in and you have 32MB of storage that can easily be shared with others in your workgroup or transported safely to a remote location.

The only caveat, in my opinion, with this model or any model is that the lanyard that allows you to carry the device on a string around your neck or whatever should not be used. The plastic housing that is used to hold the drive is not strong enough to support a lot of wear and tear and you may lose or drop the drive. Better to just carry it.

Other than this, this little unit is God-sent. Just think, in a small form factor, you have the equivalent of 32 floppy disks at your disposal...without the flimsiness of a floppy.

So drop your floppy and get a USB flash drive instead. You'll wish you had sooner!
