I’d like to thank Allison of DiskOnKey for providing us with the 32 meg DiskOnKey Pro for review.
With the rise in popularity of USB Key Drives it’s hard to choose the best one for you. Today we take a look at one key drive that has more to offer than other key drives on the market, the DiskOnKey Pro.
The DiskOnKey Pro is available in various sizes to fit your needs. At the moment it is available in 8,16,32,64,128 and 256 Meg sizes.
The unusual thing about the Diskonkey pro compared to other USB key drives, is it features a 32-bit ARM7 processor that lets you run applications straight from the device.
The following applications are available for the DiskOnKey Pro:
MyKey: The small and simple Graphic User Interface lets you designate files that you use frequently for quick and easy transfer, choose language preferences, set audio or visual indications for new data, and more.
