Great flash drive. Bought it to be a dedicated readyboost stick on an older P4 program with a maxed out 4gb 32bit method. operates properly, haven't noticed significantly of a performance enhance. small quicker opening programs, but hey thats readyboost. Worst case scenario is I have an extra 8gb thumb drive. By no means a negative issue. The connector protector (hey that rhymes) is easy to loose. want it stayed connected. rubberized outer layer is a catch 22 I assume. protects it from harm, but probably leads to increased heat which could lead to decreased lifespan. we shall see.

Excellent speed improvement seems like a nice solution and very durable on a three.3GB Iso file write the Xporter reduced the transfer time by two min compared to my 2yr old flash drive. It holds a lot of pocket lint!!!! Wonderful flash drive for the cost at some local shops a much more basic flash drive of the similar capacity have been a couple dollars far more.

Operates good, no difficulties recognizing it on any Pc. Speed is adequate for storing photos and personal files. None so far Ran it through the washer and dryer 3 days immediately after I got it. Let it attempt and plugged it in with no challenges. The rubberized cover does not seem to attract lint like my old Corsair flash drive did.

They just perform for me. I'm making use of two of them to boot my ESXi servers mounted inside the case. They have been operating about 14 months with no dilemma. Speed appears excellent to me. None Given that they are inside the case I like the rubber cover.

Fast Transfer speeds, big adequate to install linux onto it and boot from it, rugged adequate to drop, throw, kick, and virtually anything else you can do to it. Dropped 1 egg since it's straightforward to lose the cap.

I required a bigger flash drive to replace my SandDisk Cruzer. I picked this one particular since of the fantastic critiques but discounted most of the claims considering one particular flash drive is the identical as another. Incorrect! This issue is actually fast, significantly quicker than the Cruzer. I'm nevertheless attempting to figure out why. Very happy!! none Isn't it great when technologies operates!

Like other critiques currently have stated, super quickly, can be utilized on every thing. all windows and mac. Appreciate the Rubber case on the other hand... a small bulky and the cap practically fell off so a lot of times. bought two on xmas, 1 for myself 1 for my girl. Then bought one particular additional that's at present on sale for ready increase. Completely worth the income, when it's on sale, obtain!

Its quickly. Cap won't keep on. The rubber casing is coming loose from the circuit board. Sure its quick, but its not THAT rapidly. I have a two and a half year older flash drive from a competitor that is just a rapid. Its not good for carrying with you each day even though its advertised as water and shock proof. The connector won't keep on, which to me a is a red flag, exposed connectors are a bad point. The reality that the rubber is coming loose is alarming as properly.I would go with the competitors, I would not acquire or suggest this solution unless you want one thing shiny to sit on your desk. (It may function well for a readyboost drive, I did not attempt that)

Definitely enjoy the rubber case, protects it from drops and weather. Also, ran it more than with my vehicle and left it in a snow covered parking lot for 4 days. Bent it back into shape and it nonetheless works excellent, LED and all. Finest deal for such a low price tag. Obtain THIS NOW The metal couldn't withstand the weight of a 92' Thunderbird. Don't run it over with your vehicle, but if you ever do...it would still work.

More quickly than my older 1GB Kingston Information Traveler and 4GB i-Ecko.Rubber housing for added grip. (My i-Ecko is so smooth I have lots of difficulty pulling it out of the port)At time of writing, I got it with a rebate which makes it a ů 8GB flash drive. Not poor, thinking about my 1GB one was totally free.Functions no challenge with ReadyBoost. (Compared to my Kingston which would often say it certified, sometimes not) The housing is too bulky. I doubt it's achievable to fit two of these subsequent to eachother. Little bit of a resistance challenge when fitting it next to a normal peripheral's USB connector.Doesn't appear to be recognized by ASUS Uncomplicated Flash on my M3N-HT deluxe board. Forced to use my 1GB Kingston. I assume this is due to the fact the version on my board (or all of them) can not read larger capacity drives. I won't knock off an egg for it, because my PS2 had a related issue.The blue access LED is fairly vibrant; on nearly the exact same level with my DGL-4100 router. I have not owned it lengthy sufficient to judge the develop good quality or reliability, sorry.EVEREST Study test suite:Linear Read (Begin): 31.3MB/sLinear Study (Middle): 31.3MB/sLinear Study (End): 31.3MB/sRandom Study:: 36.3MB/sBuffered Study:: 31.3MB/sAverage Read Access:: .50msBy comparison, my Kingston was 16.9, 16.four, 16.four, 20, 16.five and 1.37ms. (from best to bottom)I forgot to test drive create before filling it up with data, although primarily based on some other testimonials, it appears to average around 14MB/s.Wish the cap could be attached to the unit, but I've yet to have a difficulty with all 3 of my drive's caps, yay.Had to spend ũ.40 in tax due to my location, souring a bit of the deal.I may well have forgotten one thing else, but that's all for now.PS: If you want awesome ReadyBoost (or even pagefile) speed, consider using a RAMDisk.

Really nice USB drive.Quickly read and create instances.syncs music to it so quick I believed it hadn't. I had to double verify and it had done it flawlessly. its a touch on the goddy, tacky side for appearance but not bad.Im considering of utilizing a razor to shave the lettering down.Kind of being picky even though. I applied this as a ready boost device for a couple weeks but decided in the finish to use it in my cars CD player which has USB input. It functions true good for this and holds tons of music.low cost. rapid. nice case (except giant red lettering that looks like a Jr. Higher kid tagged it)Extremely great bang for the buck.Oh Ya.I ordered an additional and will probbably be getting additional.

It performs. functions in linux, in windows, and that other OS. appears fairly rapid, while i honestly haven't transferred quite a few large files with it but, mainly just downloaded files to it and run programs off it, and it's run them really smoothly. The rubbery case it's held in is fantastic, tends to make it fairly substantially water proof. The cap is fine with me.I got the rebate! and reasonably promptly too, perhaps 8 weeks? so i wound up acquiring this for 8 bucks. I've been so substantially far more preferred with the ladies given that i've been carrying this issue. i consider it's cuz it adds to my organic bulge :). I've carried it about with me on my keychain every day for a couple months now, and the rubber cap has never ever even attempted to escape. i mean yeah, it could come off, but i'm seldom ever in such a hurry that i have to rip my keys from my pocket with such force that it takes the cap off. just be cautious if that's how you roll i guess. I produced it into a bootable linux 10.ten drive, with like 2 GB in it's cache (casper rw) to save to. maybe every person knows this, but if you leave all the linux plan files strewn out on the flash drive's key folder, you can boot from the drive OR use it to transfer/run other files you have on there...if that makes any sense...anyway yes i like this drive.
