Easy to use. Setup slax and use it for school/work. Quickest stick i've owned yet. Great for transporting pictures for development.

Blah Blah Blah.... What do they mean by features? What kind of features can you get with a plain Jane jump drive? Anyhow, it was a good price and I bought two. No complaints by me.

Picked this up to replace my 4-5 year old Kingston 256MB USB drive. I like the classy-look of this drive.Overall it's an average run of the mill drive. For the price you can't really complain though.

Alrighty, let's just get to it won't bore you if you've already read the strengths and weaknesses.Yes, this is 8gb of space, but will be ready differently by Windows as usual. Small in size is a double edged sword as it is small enough to fit in just about any pocket, but also so small that you would probably not notice if it dropped out of it. Looks really cheaply build, I guess that's why they gave it a reflective exterior so no one would notice. I tried to put it on my old P Celeron and P3, although they're old, they should've been USB 1.1 but apparently this does not work with it, so I dunno.Overall, good product, just put some kinda string on it so you won't lose it seeing as no accessories come with it.

Very fast read/write of 8GB worth of space makes this simple and compact USB drive great for carrying whatever you need carrying.

This is the fastest flash drive that I've found. Fantastic price, too.

Comment:
Bought this is use as a backup for important files, so far it has not failed. Small size and sleek styling makes for easy use and good quality build.

Comment:
It gets the job done, plenty of space, just what I needed. Price wasn't too shabby either, compared to others.

The drive works well. Its not the fastest drive, but good value for the money. Also does not have the price of more brand names.

Got this bad boy this morning. Dumped a load of jpegs (400k-2mb each) and vista reported transfer rates of around 400kb/s that climbed to 8mb/second.HDtune reports min transfer rate as 2mb/s, max as 14.2mb/s, and average of 13.5mb/sAccess time of 1ms, burst rate of 10.4 mb/s, and CPU usage of 6.6%.Use-able storage space is 7.6 gigs.Not bad for such a large drive. I'm very pleased with it. I hadn't realized how much flash memory improved in price since I last bought a 2 gig stick for over 60 dollars. :)The lid is very easy to lose, though. Overall it's fantastic. This review was modfied by poster @ 03-27-08 06:58 PM

Unlike the previous reviewer, mine didn't come with a rotating cap. The cap is easy to lose because it doesn't stay attached to the key once it's plugged in, you can't plug it back into the other end of the key or anything like that.Other than that, I'm very satisfied with it. It's fairly fast and plenty of storage for the price.

The drive can be slimmer about it width. But the speed makes up for it. I want the speed more than the size of the usb drive.

I bought the 8GB version of this a couple month ago or so and it works great. It even went thru the washer and dryer by accident of course and still works great, I couldn't believe it. I like the rotating cover, much better than many other devices that have a separate cover that folls off in your pocket
