The DiskOnKey is available in storage capacities of 8mb's to 512mb's. It is rated for the maximum USB 1.1 transfer speed 12Mbits/S. Uploading a full 16mb’s takes roughly 10-13 seconds time. The variance may be because my Windows computer was being cranky during the review. The size and weight isn’t noticeable at all. The capacity of this one is lacking, but who’s complaining, I have a bunch of uses for it. Just think about how much of a pain it is to use floppy’s or what a shame it is to use a CD-R for as little as 2mb’s to transfer files from one place to another. All you have to do is plug in your brand new trusty DiskOnKey and away you go. If you are using Windows 98/SE then you will need to go to www.diskonkey.com and download the drivers to make it work.

The first thing you are going to notice after plugging it in and it mounts is that it has software loaded on it. Make sure you move this stuff to someplace safe. Of course if you just went straight to format you can go to www.diskonkey.com and download the same software it came with if you need it. As far as the software is concerned I like the security features that you can enable to keep your data safe. With KeySafe you can keep others from getting into your top secret documents or just protect a variable amount of a section of your DiskOnKey, like set only 10mb's secure and 6mb's open for anybody as an example? About the only thing that I don’t like about KeySafe is the fact that it robs almost 1mb and that’s alot considering that I only have 16mb’s of space to begin with. But, if you have something to hide from others then KeySafe will be for you.

I truly like the DiskOnKey. And I truly appreciate the chance to obtain and review this product. I like the fact that the DiskOnKey is sturdy, fast, easy to use and has an immeasurable amount of usefulness. The only problem that I can see is the fact that the cost of one of these may be a little much for some people to afford ($30USD). So one could only think that manufacturing one of these bad boys must not be cheap. The software that comes with it provides an inexperienced computer user the ability to easily plug-in and use this device. But, I will also say that more advanced users may also like the software that comes with it, only you can be the judge. I myself will say that I could highly recommend this fine product to anyone I know. So run on out and buy one if you can. Because you will use it frequently. I am giving this product a high rating of 4 out of 5 X's, the reason for the 4X is because of the price.
