Amazon 2 GB pen drive under £20

Comments

  • I am looking for something specific with regards to usb sticks...

    I want the usb end to be retractable.
    I want at least 2gb storage
    I want a decent strong keyring attachment (the kingston traveller type is great)
    and I want it to be password protected
    on top of all that I want it to be bootable and perhaps install windows on it.

    Can anyone advise?

    It might be better to ask on the 'techie' board.

    I'd go for the kingston one too. I have the 1GB version and with five years warranty you can't go wrong. :)

    The Kingston one is USB 1.1. BUT - Amazon are offering the Kingston DataTraveller U3 drive which is USB 2 and is a U3 drive. Take a look at U3.com if you want more details. At £24.66 this is the cheapest I've seen it - and it's in stock. (except for the one I've just bought...)

    Thanks for the heads up - OP!

    No, it clears says ""Kingston Technology 2GB USB 2.0 Flash Pen Drive " on Amazon, and in the OP

    Sorry - i was fooled by the line that says "The DataTraveler works with the vast majority of computers incorporating the Universal Serial Bus interface 1.1". Missed the top bit completely. Old age, I guess ;-)

    Still like the U3 best, though.
