Pen Drive - A Review For Buyers

Pen drives are becoming increasingly popular as more people are beginning to recognize their functions. They are sold everywhere that electronic computer devices are found and so people are seeing them and watching them get advertised. For someone who is moving from the old floppy disk to the pen drive, they might want to know which one to get.

There are many different kinds of pen drives which can often make it tricky for someone who is new to the pen drive lifestyle. Some people judge it by its outer shell and look for one in their favorite color or shape. Teenagers or women with a playful side might opt for a bright pink shade or a device in a funky shape or design. While more business minded people or anyone who doesn`t want to stand out too much, might pick one that is black or gray and simple.

Choosing a pen drive doesn`t just come to its outer look. There are also inner functions that make it appealing as well. You will want to look at how fast it is what kind of features it comes with and the durability of the shell. Looking at all of the features together will help you ultimately pick your very own pen drive.

A red LED light comes on when in use but is small and hard to see. It features a lock switch to prevent the user from deleting any information from the drive.

The Ridata 16GB is another great pen drive. IT has a 16 GB micro SDHC lightning series. The RiData memory card sports a 'class 6` speeds and ships with a plastic carrier and multiple SD adapters so that you can use different card readers in it. This pen drive is one of the fastest ones tested, but however, is so tiny that it could be easily lost.

There are some name brands that charge a lot, while other no name brands might have the same features but may just look different. Whether you need a pink one, a tiny one or one that lights up, there is one for every taste and budget.
