PNY Attache'..... LEXAR JumpDrive......

They got ads about them on their websites, but not much tech stuff.

I have one of each brands. 64mb

I think they are basically a memory chip with a power supply to keep the memory while it is not plugged it. Plugging in to the USB port re-charges it. They say they will store data for approx 10 years!

Because I have Win98 I had to download the drivers but anything above Win98 will auto load the drivers.

I LUV THEM! They are fast, hold a lot of data and much easier to carry around than anything else I've found so far. Inculding zip disks.

Hope this helps.

Mechanical devices are slow and cheap.
Non-mechanical devices are fast and expensive.
