2. Unitek Pendrive by Chris Nicholson on 10th May,2003

Hi,

I have just purchased a Unitek 256MB Mini Flash Disc, in general I have found this a really nice product, just 2 little comments.
I have found it impossible to fit the strap attachment, the black cord is now frayed beyond use.
If a small metal ring was fitted to the device on manufacture it would be much easier, the black cord could be fitted & removed with ease at any time.

(*reply from Paul: Actually you can attach the black cord to the small cave first, it is a little bit difficult, and need a little bit patience, I have put one in with the help of a stapler pin in around 2 min when I tried the first time, then you can attach the longer grey cord to the black so you can hold it on you neck or on your belt with the shorter grey cord. )

It would be nice if it had a simple sleeve pouch it could clip into for protection against scratching & dirt.

I have also just purchased a Unitek Y252 portable 2.5" hard disk enclosure, again a really nice product, just 2 little comments again.
It would be nice to have a short USB cable (about 11 inches), the nice case could have an elastic strip down one side, the 11 inch cable could then be folded in half and slotted in the elastic strip suggested at one side of case keeping the drive and cable together, no one thinks about storage of cables for these type of things.

I enjoy having both of these products but for a few pence and a little thought at time of manufacture things could be improved.

Regards

Chris Nicholson.
