    USB Pen Drive

    Hi there,

    I'm looking for a little advice today...
    After troubles with data transfer, I am looking towards getting a USB pen drive.

    Now... All I think I would need, would be a 256MB one. I suppose anything larger could warrant a CD or DVD backup.


    After deciding that I wanted a 256MB one, I went a shopping!
    After finding a couple of products that I'm interested in, I got a bit stuck... (This is where Hexus comes in )

    Bellow are links to the products in question:

    Samsung
    http://www.ebuyer.com/customer/produ...duct_uid=72379

    Kingston
    http://www.ebuyer.com/customer/produ...duct_uid=62790


    I've tried to get more info on these devices, but failed Miserably .
    Can anyone help me choose? Some advice, recommendations or any info of that sort are really what I'm looking for.


    Thanks!

    I've got this one, the USB connector is retractable and its very slim so fits in virtually any USB port - never had any problems at all, oh and its the cheapest 2.0 one they do as well

    i have the sandisk cruzer mini (256). Well built, sturdy (it has survived me standing on it), and comes with 3 different lids and a carrying strap.

    I think I like the look of the Samsung one...
    Not sure, but is this the same one that I linked to in my original post?


    Its hard trying to get better photo's of them, even with the likes of google image search!
