The Helios 101 has an aluminium body with a matt surface that the manufacturer describes as anti-scratch and fingerprint-free. That means it keeps a clean look even after riding around in a pocket or bag. The blue colour also makes it easier to spot among a pile of cables and keys.
The built-in chain hook lets you attach the drive to a key ring, lanyard or bag strap, so your files stay with you. A protective cap covers the USB Type-A connector when the drive isn't in use. At 55.5 x 19.0 x 7.1 mm, it's small enough to carry every day.
No drivers are needed on modern systems: it supports Windows 7, Windows Vista, Windows XP and Windows 2000, Mac OS X 10.3 and above, and Linux kernel 2.6 and above. Only Windows 98/98SE needs a driver from the official website. The free SP Widget software adds seven main functions for managing the drive.
Students moving assignments between home and school, office workers carrying documents and presentations, and anyone who needs a simple drive for photos, backups or transferring files to a TV or printer. It also makes a handy spare stick for the car or a desk drawer.
