Bright Star Gifts Data Pets Review

September 5, 2016 By Marijean

If you own a computer/laptop you probably own a USB stick or a backup hard drive to keep your files, music and pictures saved and safe. Obviously a plain USB stick is nothing exciting to look at while you are working at your computer. I was recently contacted by Bright Star Gifts to review a really cool concept, a Data Pet! I am excited to tell you all about Data Pets.

Data Pets are the softest hard drives that you will ever own! All of our stuffed animals are made by top manufacturers who care about toy safety and quality. The storage devices that we use inside the animals are also from one of the top manufacturers of memory devices. They are hand assembled with great love and care to give you many years of use and enjoyment.

Features:
* Data Pets are safe for young children.
* Data Pets produce no heat.
* Data Pets are completely silent except for the normal sounds that animals make 😉
* Data Pets have no moving parts inside them.
* Data Pets are rugged and impervious to rough handling.
* Data Pets are reliable.
* Data Pets are USB 3.0 capable. This provides up to 10x faster data transfers than USB 2.0 devices.
* Data Pets plug into any USB port on any computer.
* Data Pets are powered from the computer. No additional power supply needed.
* Data Pets can be used for backing up your pictures, music, videos, etc.
* Data Pets can be used for additional storage.
* Money back guarantee.*
* 1 year warranty.**

My Review:

Bright Star Gifts offers a huge variety of different Data pets to pick from. They even have popular animal characters from movies such as The Secret Life Of Pets. I picked out a really cute Data Pet called Sally the Siamese Cat. She is 8″ and super soft and cuddly! The cord comes right out the back of the Data Pet and sits so nicely on my computer desk.

When you choose your Data Pet, you can choose the USB cable cord length. The choices are: 1 foot, 2 foot, 3 foot, 6 foot and 10 foot. I chose the 3 foot cable for myself since I was my cute friend sitting on top of my desk near the computer screen. A longer cord would offer flexibility to have your stuffed friend away from your screen and up on a shelf to display as an example. After you choose your cord length, you then choose your storage options. They offer 16 GB, 32 GB, 64 GB, 128 GB and 256 GB. The prices are all different depending on what size you pick. I was able to receive the 16 GB and the price for my Data Pet is $39.95. Your pet then will be shipped to your door with a cute birth certificate you can fill out, and an included sheet which tells you about the Warranty, Guarantee and Cleaning of your pet. When you receive your pet, just plug the cord into your USB slot and you are done! What I really like about this Data Pet is that it does not get warm or hot to the touch. My 5 year old loves playing with it when I have it plugged in. You will be able to see a little icon on the computer screen that looks exactly like your data pet! It works perfectly and I am very happy with it.

Data Pets would be perfect for college kids! Let them pick out their favorite stuffed friend and it will look great on their desk.

Data Pets would also make great gifts for the upcoming holiday season. If you think about it, mostly everyone you know I am sure owns a computer or laptop I am sure. This pet would be perfect for your friends/family!

Check out the Website and Facebook page!

*100% guarantee: If you don’t like your Data Pet for any reason, please contact us within 5 days of receiving it for return shipping instructions. Once we receive it, and it’s still in ‘like new’ condition, we’ll refund your money for the Data Pet. Shipping costs are excluded.

**Warranty: Within one year of shipment, we warranty the electronics within the Data Pet to be free of manufacturing defects of any kind. If the Data Pet fails to perform as advertised, we will either repair or replace it at our discretion.

*I received a Data Pet in exchange for this review. All my opinions are my own.
