Great Value! Memorex 1GB TravelDrive Flash Drive
A whole gigabyte of storage in a tiny, attractive device! The TravelDrive USB 2.0 flash drive offers you a convenient way to store data, digital photos, video and MP3 files and then easily access them from any PC or Mac using the computer’s USB port.
Slimmer and Cooler than Ever Before!
The USB TravelDrive is now slimmer and cooler than ever before. At .85” wide, these USB flash drives are 30% smaller than the original TravelDrive, while retaining a round, textured gripping area that makes for superior ergonomics. The transparent cap that protects the device’s USB connector is specially designed to fit on the back of the drive, like a pen cap, to prevent loss. A reinforced aluminum lanyard loop on the back of the drive is highly resistant to breaking, and a blue LED indicator adds to the cool factor of this versatile mobile storage device.

Finally, an affordable 1GB flash drive! A welcome upgrade to my trusty 256MB drive and I didn't have to remove a lot of extraneous software from it to reclaim space. No troubles using it on XP or Vista systems. Plug and play on both. I gave a 4 rating on features because the lanyard interferes with the cap storage while using the flash drive.

This is a great deal. I bought if for my teenager to transfer homework from home to school computers. They were using 3.5floppies, so the this is light years ahead of that! When I saw the price, I knew it was for me!

The drive worked right out of the package! I do LOTS of typing and have literally hundreds of floppy disks I have saved data to. With most computers no longer sold with a 3 1/2'' drive, the flash drive gives me compact data storage, taking up less space, and I don't have to worry about trying to find another computer with a floppy drive. The only downside is that for some reason the flash drive ''blocked'' the wireless internet connection on my laptop computer; my guess is the built-in security on the drive; that is why I gave it a 4.

I've had it for several months. It still works; the transfer and write speeds seem quite fast; it was good value.
A USB flash drive consists of a NAND-type
flash memory data storage device integrated with a USB (universal serial
bus) interface. USB flash drives are typically removable and rewritable,
much smaller than a floppy disk (1 to 4 inches or 2.5 to 10 cm), and most
USB flash drives weigh less than an ounce. Storage capacities typically
range from 64 MB to 128 GB with steady improvements in size and price per
gigabyte. Some allow 1 million write or erase cycles and have 10-year data
retention, and are connected by and compatible with USB standards 1.1 and
above.
USB flash drives offer many advantages over other portable storage
devices, particularly floppy disks, or CDs - they even hold more than DVDs
and BluRay Discs. They have a more compact shape, operate faster, hold
much more data, have a more durable design, and operate more reliably due
to their lack of moving parts. Plus they come in a wide variety of shapes,
designs, and color - some quite unique - they have truly become a vanity
or fashion product!
Additionally, it has become increasingly common for computers to be sold
without floppy disk drives, and the new Netbooks don't have optical drives
either. USB ports, on the other hand, appear on almost every mainstream
PC, laptop, netbook, and handheld. These types of drives use the USB mass
storage standard, supported natively by modern operating systems such as
Windows, Mac OS X, Linux, and other Unix-like systems. USB drives with USB
2.0 support can also operate faster than many optical disc drives, while
storing a larger amount of data in a much smaller space.
Nothing actually moves in a flash drive: the term drive persists because
computers read and write flash-drive data using the same system commands
as for a mechanical disk drive, with the storage appearing to the computer
operating system and user interface as just another drive.
A flash drive consists of a small printed circuit board protected inside a
plastic, metal, or rubberized case, robust enough for carrying with no
additional protection—in a pocket or on a key chain, for example. The USB
connector is usually protected by a removable cap or by retracting into
the body of the drive, although it is not likely to be damaged if exposed.
Most flash drives use a standard type-A USB connection allowing plugging
into a port on a personal computer.
If a device has a smaller type USB connector, there are solutions to
connecting the full-size USB connector. Adaptors are available, as well as
USB hubs.
