Freecom Data Bar XXS 2GB -A Gadget Dad Review


Super Small Slick Stick!

Freecom's DataBar XXS is an ultra-compact USB stick that is perfect for computer users who want to keep important music, photos, documents and even videos within arm's reach wherever they go. Measuring up at just 3cm x 1.2cm, the stick is both waterproof and durable, and can easily be slipped into a wallet or onto a keyring to make carrying information around more convenient than ever before.

Gadget Dad Verdict:

I received his little usb stick and was wondering... where is the other bits to go with it, surely this cant be it?!? They claim that this super small and indeed it is. There is no problem in slipping this into your pocket and wallet and forgetting about it. Putting it into the USB port takes a bit getting use to as it doesn't have the usual surrounding metal bit that usually guides it into the usb port.

After it is inserted it gets picked up very fast by your computer. It can also be used with USB 3.0 although the data transfer speed is limited to USB 2.0 specifications and no drivers are needed.

Pros:
  • Super small
  • Super easy to use
  • Comes with a keyring attachement
  • Still cant get over the size!!
Cons:
  • Takes a bit getting use to without the metal surrounding but it tininess makes up for that anyway
  • So small you might loose it (but i guess thats why it comes with the keyring)
Rating: 9/10

Till next time
Gadget Dad
