Neat, stylish, classy!, 2007-11-12
I do not agree with the manufacturers claim that this is cheaper per megabyte than flash drives - that just ain't so. But I like it better anyway. It is a neat, nifty piece of kit with a substantial storage space. It is stylish, with just a tiny blue indicator light, and an USB plug that folds away neatly within the body of the card. It is only 6 mm thick(1/4 inch, for the metrically challenged) - and it just has a classy feel to it, which I cannot really say for any of the other flash drives I own (SanDisk, Buffalo, Bytestor).
A cool piece of kit.
Potential but fails, 2007-11-30
When I first bought this USB key I thought it was a steal, I used it frequently like a rewritable DVD. It works well in easily storing essential data. However The USB connection is so weak and faulty that i would completely stay away and purchase another type of data storage device. I'm on my third one, within the 1 year warranty. I've had to learn the hard way to make several back ups as the device fails so frequently that I've had to resort to other storage methods.
Good points:
1. Excellent Size
2. Excellent Data Storage Space
Bad Points:
1. Poor USB connection
2. Unreliable
3. Poor life cycle (doesn't last long without a fault)
Stay Away, You've been warned!
