 You can't go wrong here... November 22, 2008
A Sandisk 4GB memory stick for a shade over a fiver...
What is there more to say?
Cheap, fast & secure November 13, 2008
Low cost, fast. I like the built-in U3 security software.
Ideal for a back-up medium.
Carry your mailbox around November 11, 2008
This is fantastic. I can download and read my mail from either my own or my partners computer and I have all my addresses and favorites on hand too.
There is a great little diary/task program EssentialPIM and so I can have the same task list wherever I am. I'd long given up on lugging my laptop around and put up with the inconvenience of not having my own favorites and rather than this being a copy of a file it is the real thing.
Oh, and just in case I leave it on a train it's password protected.
I'm really impressed.
Excellent November 1, 2008
Have had mine for nearly 12 months now. U3 program work fine and mean that I get all my instant messages via Trillian wherever I am without loading anything on local PC. Work very quickly with Firefox for U3 when streaming, for example, BBC Iplayer. I have also added Mojopac wo I have my own desktop where ever I go. 4GB is fine for me - have a load of music and videos on it as well as docs. I like the password protection of U3 - I carry it with me wherever I go. I may go for a larger size later but for now 4GBis fine (and SOOO cheap!!). You can use Logmein Ignition (paid for) or Logmein Free or Teamviewer Free for remote access via the U3 if you need to and it works absolutely fine.
Great for portable applications October 21, 2008
Why carry a laptop around, when you can have one of these? Even without the 'advanced' U3 features, it's a handy flash drive. Convenient, robust, light and with a neat connector protector.
With the U3, however it doubles as a portable computer. if you find that you prefer Firefox, Thunderbird and OpenOffice to the proprietary Microsoft products, then you can carry those (and other) apps, together with your favourite sites and login settings on this little gizmo.
Instead of struggling to send emails from a internet cafe, take one of these, set it up ahead of time, then plug it in to the local PC and you're good to go.
When you visit your favourite sites, or enter passwords, there's no record of that activity on the host computer (unless there's a spyware keylogger installed). That means it's possible to use this device to access your own networks and password-protected sites without any risk that the owner of the computer gains access to sensitive information.
If you want (and I do) you can password-protect the whole unit, so that even if it is lost, the data is not accessible.
The device might need updating before it will run properly on Vista operating systems. The U3 features are available only in Windows, but other operating systems will read the thing as an ordinary flash drive, giving access to all documents, but not the software. Mine struggles a bit with Linux (Ubuntu Hardy), but it's OK if the machine has the right settings.
I had a 1GB unit for many years, and it was great. I've now upgraded to the 4GB unit and that is plenty big enough.
