Silicon Power Firma F80 8GB Waterproof USB 2.0 Flash Drive - Rugged Metal Housing
Cons:-WRITE speed is abysmal (2~5 MB/s)-A bit stiff to insert  in PC's USB Port.

Pros:-Relatively Small-Seems to be well built-Good READ speed (about 20~25 MB/s)
Comment:
My first impression is that it's more durable than most USB keys I've owned, especially for the price. It's a bit slow to write to, but the read speeds are not too bad at the very least, so once it's set up for what you need it to be, it's "good enough", for the price anyway.

Cons:It cannot go through when I use "Windows 7 USB DVD Download Tool" to create  a bootable windows 7 installation usb drive.

Pros:Light weight.Perfect key-ring design.
Comment:
It's good to have one in key chain for daily file transfer use.But not for those who want to use it as a usb boot drive. This review was modfied by poster @ 11-16-14 08:34 PM

Silicon Power Firma F80 8GB Waterproof USB 2.0 Flash Drive - Rugged Metal Housing
Cons:None.

Pros:$5 for 8GB on sale.Metal housing.Large hole for keychain.Standard speed USB 2.0Small and sleek.
Comment:
Great 8GB USB drives for $5 on sale. Metal housing is nice. Large keychain hole and being metal makes this a durable device with my keys. It's USB 2.0 so it's not the fastest but still standard. I have two of these and they fit great on my keychain.

Silicon Power Firma F80 8GB Waterproof USB 2.0 Flash Drive - Rugged Metal Housing
Cons:SLOW! "Reddot design award" is worthless is they completely disregard performance like this.

Pros:Good-looking and sturdy. Ideal key-ring design.
Comment:
15.7 MB/s read and 7.3 MB/s write is simply unacceptable in this day and age. And pray you never have to transfer system folders with tiny files onto this drive... 4k write is a measly 0.005MB/s.This is even slower than the very similar Kingston Datatraveler SE9... which has been out for a lot longer. And most of Kingston's flash drives are already on the slower end of the spectrum.Silicon Power dropped the ball on this one. Would give 2 stars if I could be bothered to enter in the Invoice #.

Cons:8Gb is a little small. I should have gotten something bigger.

Pros:Slick Design + Life time warranty + water proof
Comment:
Exactly what I've been looking for :)something that won't break on my key chain even if I dropped it in a puddle or when it gets rained on.
