A closer look:
This product is currently only available in 1GB size and
this is a little disappointing. A 2GB or 4GB model would have been nice to see. Who knows, here's hoping that they might
expand the model line to include a 4GB version in the near
future. There are a zillion flash drives on the market, and
most are USB2 and very compact. So when deciding which one to get, there are lots
to choose from. But, if you are looking for something super small and compact,
this is it!
By the way, that's a Canadian quarter pictured
along side the Roadster, eh!
One thing that this flash drive has going for it that others do not,
is its
ultra small size when compared to many other flash drives on the
market today. It's so compact and lightweight that it
could be easy to lose, so be sure to connect it to something
larger. While this product does look somewhat fragile, it
isn't.
One very nice feature about this product is its foldable design which means no
cap is required. And let's face it, normal flash drive caps are easy to lose.
The strap that's included can be easily clipped on/off the
Roadster or it can be attached to your keychain ring. Although, the loop should
be a little larger so it would make it easier to attach to a keychain ring.I would
suggest the latter because it's more secure and less chance you will lose the
drive.
Since it's true plug and play, installation is simple, and
it's
Windows (98/98SE/Me/2000/XP/VISTA), Linux (Kernel 2.4 or later ) and MAC (OS 9.0
or later) compatible.
Simply connect it into the computer's USB2 port and the
operating system will detect it as a drive. To transfer
data, just copy and paste..
