DiskGo USB Steel Watch Dress Style

 

USB flash drives are incredibly small devices which contain flash memory to allow you store information such as pictures, music, documents, and even videos.  These tiny flash drives have even reached the capacity of 1GB so it can be easy to forget to bring it with you or even lose one. Today, I will be reviewing a product that attempts to integrate the capabilities of USB flash drive with a watch.  Although there is also another version, this watch is specifically meant for more formal occasions hence called the steel dress style.  Although the watch provided for review is only 32MB, we can still have a look at the performance of the flash drive integrated in the watch.

Sandisk Cruzer Titanium 512MB Flash Drive

 

USB flash drives have been around for quite a while now.  Many companies now manufacture their own USB flash drives in common sizes such as 32, 64, 128, 256, 512, or even 1GB.  The difficulty in making a USB flash drive is trying to differentiate it from the many competitors that exist in the market.  It is difficult because there is only so much that you can do to make your own flash drive different.  The main factors involve the size, style, and the speed of the drive. 

Today, we will be reviewing Sandisk’s flagship USB flash drive that attempts to be different from the others.  From the name of the product, you immediately know it has Titanium of some sort, a very strong metal that you can predict will make the product much more durable.  Although Sandisk makes other flash drives such as the Cruzer mini and micro, this product is supposedly faster than both. 

In this review, we’ll find out if it has what it takes to stand above the rest of the flash drives.

SimpleTech’s High Speed Bonzai USB Upgradeable Flash Drive

 

There are hundreds of USB flash drives available in the market today. The downside to most of these flash drives is that they contain a set amount of memory.  It’s up to the consumer to determine how much storage space they need and how much they are willing to spend.  It can be a bit of a disappointment if the amount of space you need is less than what you bought. 

Today, I will be reviewing SimpleTech’s Bonzai Upgradeable Flash Drive. The upgradeability of the product gives the consumer more flexibility and more of a long-term value.  The user has the capability to increase the storage capacity rather than buying a whole new separate flash drive.
