Review for Sony 1GB Micro Vault Midi:
Good product from a trusted brand!
I bought this flash drive for my laptop to store a vast amount of files. I thought 1GB would be enough, and then I found out that this pen drive can actually store up to 3gb of data using the included software on the flash drive which automatically compresses all of your files, a very handy tool if you ask me. The item itself is very small, and at one end there is a retractable USB connector, which is pulled out by using the tiny slider switch at the bottom of the device, this works really wel, overall a really good product, go and buy it, you will not be dissapointed!114
Review for PNY - Attaché 2 USB key - 2 GB USB 2.0:
I bought one of these PNY Attache 2 USB 2GB drives for this purpose. This was done blindly as I could not find any information about the compatibility of this drive (and a 1 year old 1GB PNY Attache USB drive I own fails the performance test). However luck was on my side and the drive is fast enough. I now have a much quieter (and slightly quicker) PC, from which I only hear the HDD being used when I am actually opening or saving a file or program!
Another selling point for this drive over many others is that the cover for the USB plug does not come off the drive and therefore will not get lost as nearly always seems to happen with these drives. It would however have been nice if PNY had included a key ring hook.

Does what it says on the tin
Nowadays a USB flash memory drive is an essential to anyone who uses a computer. In recent months the price of these drives has fallen and the speed risen. Bigger drives tend to be better value in terms with how many pounds a GB costs. If you consider just that then at the time of writing this drive is poor value. However in all reality how many people really need to carry 8 or even 4GB of files about with them? I use computers a lot both in my home and work life, and I know I never need even 2GB. The reason I would recommend a 2GB drive is for use for the ReadyBoost feature of Windows Vista. The standard amount of RAM for a Vista PC would be 2GB, and with that amount of RAM a 2GB flash drive is optimal for ReadyBoost use.I bought one of these PNY Attache 2 USB 2GB drives for this purpose.

good value
I was going to buy one of these on the high street for my camera. I'm glad i did'nt because i would have paid around £60. I know there are cheaper but i like to by branded and as i can get branded name i can trust at reasonable price at Amazon, i can't lose.116

Good Software, Poor Build Quality
The secure software is excellent, you can create password protected encrypted folders - keeping all your files safe and secure incase you lose it, or if it falls into the wrong hands!The only let down? The build quality is questionable for a premium product made from steel. After six weeks the plastic on the lid broke off. You can either buy more lids from Lexar (ridiculous!), from the USA! Or send your whole drive off to Lexar, again in the USA!
