It has been an excellent flash drive and have had no problems with it. I purchased this flash drive only cause of its size and storage space, didn't really need another flash drive.
It's a great conversation piece, it's just too bad it doesn't work. This product worked for about 5 minutes.and never worked again. It's extremely flimsy and you'd be lucky if it lasted more than a day.
But it's still going strong. I attached it to my keys, and they get thrown around a lot. I'm not geeky enough to know whether it should be reading or writing files faster, but I do know it works beautifully, even after all this time. I've owned my 2GB drive for about two years now. I was concerned about whether it would stand up to the beating it's been taking.
I use it to store little Excel and Powerpoint files or some PDFs. The manufacturer claims that this drive can write at 3.5mb/sec (very slow for USB 2.0) -- it might peak at that speed for moving large files (like a movie) but the performance drops a lot for smaller files (like photos).If you are planning on getting one of these, it is a tiny little archive that you can stuff into your change pouch or wallet. I would not use this to share photo albums or home videos, it's much too slow for that. This thing takes about 10 mins+ to copy a 100meg folder of 200kb files. When you first open up the drive it takes a long time to load the directory structure.
I pretty much just gave up after that, didn't want to deal with the runaround on a $15 flash drive. I have purchased several of these since they're so cheap.Cons:Small and easy to lose.Slow write speeds, even with the readyboost version.One of mine broke, I contacted the seller via phone and was told that they didn't know what product I was talking about and that I should contact the manufacturer, who in turn told me to contact the seller. Pros:Great product, fits on my keychain nicely. Awesome capacity for its size, when I pull it out of my pocket people ask me what it is, and don't believe that it holds 4gb.
