As is the norm with most computer technology, the physical size of devices shrinks as their power grows. In tune with this, Disgo has launched a USB key for under £200 that can hold 2Gb of data.

The Disgo PRO 2Gb is a flash memory device, so there are no moving parts, making it less susceptible to damage. It's small enough to fit on a key ring and comes in a protective shell. In our tests, it transferred 2Gb of data in under four minutes, which is pretty quick.

It doesn't need any software to install; just plug it in and Windows XP will do the rest. It appears as removable media in My Computer so you can drag files to and from the device.

Included is KeySafe, an application that allows you to password-protect your data, and MyKey, which shows how much space is left on the device.

The Disgo sells at a good price for this much storage, although there are slightly cheaper options available.
