I'd like to thank Swissbit for providing us with the Twist Pro for review.
Flash Drives have become increasingly more popular lately. These mini dynamos provide a nice portable solution to transfer files to and from the office or what have you. Typically flash drives come in flavors of 16-512 megs. But what if you need more storage and it still needs to be small and portable? Well the folks at Swissbit have you covered with their large capacity flash drives called the USB Twist Pro. These USB 2.0 compatible flash drives come in two huge sizes to fit your needs 2 and 4 gigabytes!
Today we will be looking at the 2 gig version of the Twist Pro. The first thing you notice about the Twist Pro is its design. Instead of the typical flash drive that uses a cap to protect the USB connector, the Twist Pro uses sort of a pocket knife approach. The advantage of this design, is you never have to worry about losing the flash drive cap.
