X-Micro 512 mb USB2 memory stick
These memory sticks or flash sticks as they are also called have gotten very popular and slowly taken over the work floppy disks used to have.
What is so good with these is that you can store up to a few gigabytes on them and just connect them to the computer and run them (drivers needed for win98)
at USB2 speeds. They don't cost very much anymore and they don't take up any space. We received a sample of X-micros new USB stick so lets check this 512mb out.

There is not much to say about the looks of the memory stick but it was very well packed and on the back they have printed out the specifications.

Included with the stick is a small cd with drivers and also a neklace so you can hang it around your neck for easy access.
The flash stick is very light weight and it's the size of a normal lighter. In the middle we have a piece of clear plastic
that has a led mounted under it which flashes when you move data from or to the memory stick.

To the left on the left picture you see a small metal piece on the memory stick and that's where you mount the neklace. On one of the sides
there is a lock so you cannot write on the memory stick when it's locked. On the right picture we have the memory stick running and the middle flashes green
when it's transfering data from or to it.
