 Tiny, and Great for the Price November 16, 2008
This tiny device does everything I would expect a flash drive to do. I used it as a bootable drive to install an OS, but, hey, that's just me. Of course you can use it for whatever you want, just like you'd think. I found the read/write time to be quite fast enough. I don't remember how long it took to transfer 600 mB of info, but I know it seemed really fast, much fast than transferring pictures from my camera to my computer. That is my only other file transfer through USB experience.
It is minuscule and I like the sleek form. It does lack the metal housing around the connector that are on most USB devices, so there is nothing to protect it if you lean on it. I can see why it would break if you're not careful, but I don't think that it's flimsy per se. It does have a hole for a key ring, but I wouldn't store it with my keys for its own protection.
It doesn't feel cheaply made, but I give it the same care I'd give any small piece of electronic hardware. If you need durable, you can buy a USB flash drive housed in titanium! No, seriously, you can. If you just want a no frills, sleek, reasonably priced storage device, look no further.
 Great little drive November 14, 2008
This is an awesome drive for the size. It is absolutely tiny and you get 4 gigs. My wife asked for a small flash drive with no cap and this one was the winner. She can put it on her key chain and not even worry about the size. The drive does have some drawbacks. It is slower than other fancy drives. Also, because it's just one piece of plastic, you can insert it into the USB slot backwards. They should have thought of this and made the connectors on BOTH sides, but they didn't so you have to be careful. Also, the LED light that shows the drive in operation is set on one side, so sometimes, if the front is facing you, you can't even see it. The small annoyances are far outweighed by the size and simplicity. It's sooo small, you have to work on not losing it. I got the blue one, just so I can find it easier. Great little flash drive.
 Small and breaks easily October 26, 2008
I put this into my laptop, and my thumb accidentally caught it as I was bringing my hand down. The front part (the gold metallic lines part) cracked! Now it doesn't work.
If you buy this, be sure to be very very careful. I didn't even apply all that much pressure and it broke...

A True Thumb Drive September 27, 2008

This thing is amazing. Of all the USB drives I've ever owned, this one takes the cake. It's small, it's strong, and it's got an insane profile. This thing has no crevices for dirt and dust to get lodged in; it stays clean and functional, and has no moving parts you need to worry about. In fact, I actually keep this puppy in my wallet! I plug it in to my Mac and Linux machines, run a quick rsync script to update my encrypted files, and pop it back in my wallet for travel.
What's more, I'll be getting another one of a different color for a different (massive) set of software/development files I want available for travel.

This product was defective and I could not complain because he was out of warranty USA, live in Panama and the RMA back I get very expensive.
