I bought the one from Amazon a few weeks back. Last week I accidentally washed it in the washing machine as my son had left it in his pocket. It still works fine!!

If your hard drives getting full, why not plug one into a spare USB socket to get a 2gig boost.

Hi all

Just following on from the this thread re the £11.79 flash drive from Amazon, if you order the ByteStor 1GB USB 2.0 High Speed Dataferry Flash Drive from Amazon as an alternative at £14.99 and select the super saver delivery, which is free, you will get your 1GB flash drive for exactly £14.99, which means you don't have to shop around on amazon to try and find something for £3 something to take your order over £15...and also it looks REALLY funky, AND it has a keyring loop!!! it's got great reiviews too!

Hope this helps!

I just received my Samsung 2GB Pendrive from 7daycom. On plugging it in I get a window with a key icon that asks me to plug in the device, or run the utility as a priveliged user!
Surely this drive should be plug n play. It came with no packaging or instructions.
Anyone else having this problem?

Cheers. Had been looking for a usb flash drive for a while til I noticed your post. Ordered from Amazon priced at £15.09 on Sunday & it arrived this morning. It's small, thin, looks good, and most importantly has 2 loops. (I can tie the two together & perhaps postpone the inevitable loss of the albeit snug-fitting cap!)

Have downloaded portable firefox, open office, and even sudoku for those idle moments. It's so much faster than using my 1gb mp3 player which cost £130 just over a year ago!

So far so good. Thanks for posting Stelabelle.

Can anyone explain what the advantages are of a U3 drive, when you can download free portable apps so easily? Am I missing something?

Yes, same here You can't open the key program - it seems to be something left over from its setup.
- just delete the key icon, the window it appears in is basically your flash drive, and you can add files and folders as you wish.

Thanks btk. 7day could not solve the problem, so I returned the drive for a refund. Still waitlng to hear from them though.

I've looked through and can't see anything on this so apologies if I've missed it...

Amazon now have a 1gb memory stick from Viking Interworks through their Markeplace for £9.68, plus the postage, which could be the downside, as it appears to be £4.50.
