A perfect Flash Drive, fast, safe, strong and has a nice feel to it. pity even with the lanyard i managed to lose it... still going to buy an identical one to replace it. is great.
Fast and rugged June 22, 2008

I've had this 4Gb version for a year now and it's great; Soooo much faster than just about every other stick I have come across (and therefore wirth the extra cash) but also, that rubber casing protects all your data.
It goes everywhere with me and is absolutely brilliant. One issue is that you could easily lose the lid as it's not secured to the drive itself but it's a minor quibble.
I'm thinking of getting the 16Gb version now!
 Hard-wearing?! May 7, 2008

I had this memory stick for about four months before it started playing up. I bought it on the basis of the good reviews it had based on its ability to withstand rough treatment as I would be using it regularly.
It was kept on link on my keys in my bag, and didn't get any harsh treatment such as being trod on, washed etc. This didn't stop it from breaking- with all my work on it! First of all it would only work if I held it in the USB slot at a certain angle. This carried on for about two weeks until one day no angle would suffice. RUBBISH.
Mostly impressed April 23, 2008

In comparison to the Sandisk Cruzer 2.0GB I'd been previously using, there are pros and cons to this drive.
On the minus side, the drive is way larger than the Snadisk. I'm not convinced by the need for all the rubber protection, these things are pretty much bomb-proof anyway (certainly the Sandisk was pocket-proof after the odd periodic removal of stray lint), so it's bigger and more awakward than it needs to be.
On the plus side - and the reason for buying it, after reading the other reviews here, and in preference to the 8,16 and 32GB drives - it is properly fast. Write speed is waay faster than the Sandisk, and writing hundreds of MBs of data to the drive is nowhere near the toil it used to be.
The only other downsides are the cost and shipping. It got such a good write-up, I bought 2 - one as a scratch disk and one to use as a fairly permanent store of important data. Price was great, but the shipping was rubbish in two respects. Firstly, the shipping cost entirely negated the cheap advertised price of the drive, but secondly- worst of all - this price was indicative of the source of the sender. Germany. Which meant I had to wait a week for the flipping things to arrive and, having rashly given my daughter the Sandisk for school and having allowed the boss to swipe my other one for a customer demo, I was without portable storage for an uncomfortable week.
Yes, my own fault, totally admit it, but it would be so much nicer if Amazon got a stock of the things in stock, so we could get reasonable delivery prices and times. Sadly, this is the same case for the vast majority of the drives advertised on Amazon.
WAfter all that, the burning question is "Would I buy another?" Definitely. It could be better, but the speed/price ratio is unbeatable and, if you must play rugby with the thing, it's suitably rugged.
