I have probably lost count of the number of Flash Drives I have owned and misplaced or indeed still in possession of. I love the simplicity of the concept and the sheer vast amount of data some of them can store is just mind-boggling. The other aspect is that the Flash Drive comes in a whole host of different designs and with different positive and negative points. The design is a huge selling point for me, as otherwise there is very little difference between the brands other than capacity and price.

The Integral Secure 360 4GB lash Drive is a great way of storing your data for a number of key reasons. First, the design has something special about it. The whole way the stick swivels around and locks in a closed position to protect the USB 'Type A' connector. (After looking on Wikipedia there are six different variations of the USB connector). The design isn't the most typical of Flash Drives and such a design not only looks good but also has the added benefit of protecting the connector from damage, whether that be physical or water damage, for exaample. The contacts are kept clean aswell, so transferring data isn't interrupted by having to wipe the contacts.

The casing and feel of the Flash Drive are very robust and I am expecting this one to last a little longer than most Flash Drives from general wear and tear. Although it is made from hard plastic and it isn't completely indestrucable it will withstand most threats posed to it through dropping or being stood on.

This Flash Drive is great for people who like toys. Even though it is easy to plug the USb stick into the port I love the '360' design. The device has a capacity of 4GB which will allows sufficient space for 800 tunes assuming a 5MB size each. Word files and the like take up very small amounts of storage, and although videos can take up a lot of space, the 4GB capacity is generous for day-to-day use.

Priced at around the £6 mark and available widely online I think this Flash Drive would make a great present for anyone with a digital camera looking for portable data storage. The Integral Secure 360 4GB Flash Drive really is a steal.
