This USB flash drive combo has been my absolute favorite for a long time, hence the reason for it being my first review. I’ve owned many iterations of the drive, ever since they came out with the first 256mb capacity flash drive. The features have stayed the same, except for incremental increases in drive capacity. It’s an absolute must have for any computer technician, and has proven useful in many ways time and time again. Since it’s attached to my keychain as a normal Swiss army knife would be, the USB drive is always with me, but doesn’t take up any more of my valuable pocket real estate. It’s small enough to not be bothersome while carrying it around, but the knife and screwdriver portion are sturdy enough to actually be useful. I would like to see a phillips-head attachment added to the drive, but otherwise I have absolutely no complaints. The speed of the USB drive is fast enough for normal use, and I’ve yet to have a drive die on me. As a matter of fact I still have my first 256MB drive kicking around. The USB drive also pops off of the main part, in case you ever need to bring it with you on an airplane. Here’s the official list of features:
- Compact, multi-purpose tool; transport image, music, and data files
- Includes: 2GB memory stick, knife blade, nail file with screwdriver, scissors, key ring, LED mini-light, and retractable ballpoint pen
- Compatible with USB 1.1/2.0 interface, Windows 98SE/ME/2000/XP/MAC OS X, OS 8.6 and higher, Linux 2.4 and higher
- Free, downloadable SecureLock software; protects data from unauthorized access
- Just 2-1/4 inches long
The drive also comes in a silver version if you prefer:
I highly recommend this flash drive. It has served me well, and let’s face it - what self respecting computer geek could possibly be without one of these? Every time I pull it out of my pocket people bow down to me in awe of my uber-geekyness. (Okay I may have made that part up – but still you know it’s awesome.) Go get one!
