Memorex Mini Travel Drive U3 512 MB

Posted on 13 Sep 2006 by Ulukai

Conclusion

There's not really much I can say with this review other then to sum up all the good and bad. While this drive is relatively small in storage size, it makes sense because this is the entry level model. It can be used to introduce U3 drives to the greater public. It's fast, durable and reliable in its storage, which makes it very dependable. Combine that with the U3 technology where you can make your desktop portable and you have a winner.

The only downside I have found with this drive is that U3 isn't available on other platforms. Of course that has more to do with U3 then with the drive itself, but I'm being hardpressed to find a con.

Pros and Cons

I’d like to point out the pros and cons I found whilst reviewing Memorex Mini Travel Drive:

Pros:
  • Fast transfer rate.
  • Easy installation and usage.
  • Level and excellence of support.
  • The dimensions of the drive.
  • U3 Technology.
Cons:
  • Only Windows operating systems are supported with U3.
Pricing and Availability:
  • The prices are different per country due to various tax restrictions etc. Check this link for more information on where to buy the drives and actual prices.
