Nice review Dee.

The only (personal) negatives i can find is the color (i dont think that pink is my favorite color) and the capacity, now days you need at least 2G if not bigger.

Great review, Dee

Personally, I love the colour of the stick

In fact, they had them on sale when I was in Asda last week, for £8.99 though. I was sorely tempted, but for the capacity, as vroom mentioned.

Good review.
I have seen various memory sticks around for the same price.
But twice the size*.
Colour is always black though.
Which I prefer anyway.

Great review Dee-27, I have many of these USB Flash drives from 2gbs to 8Gbs. The ones they sell around here are mostly Corsair and Pny but I would love to try a Maxell, but I have not seen them available.

Re: CD Freaks presents: The Maxell Maxstix 1GB USB Flash Drive Review

I don't really mind the storage capacity. I have larger flash drives but, this is the one i seem to carry around with me. I guess because it looks so cute.
I've only used about 120MB of its capacity so far anyway. It's ideal for bringing home documents as i can encrypt them. I have a good few pictures on it, a few software tools and a BIOS recovery file.
