Reading reviews…

I needed a new thumb drive, and saw that this particular one had good reviews. When it arrived, I plugged it into the computer and it worked fine..until the next time I used it. from Amazon.com About 10X faster than CD/RW by my estimate. From what I hear flash memory is very reliable too. This device is true plug & play, just plug it into to the USB port and the drive is instantly recognized by Windows. No drive formatting required either. from Amazon.com I am a college teacher so I use multiple classrooms, and also need to prep at home or in my office. I've been using USB flash drives heavily for the last few years. Security is an issue since I keep grades on them. from Amazon.com Pros: Nice design and very easy to use Cons: It is EXTREMELY SLOW. Even though it is USB 2.0, what I find is the write rate is at most 2MB/sec. from Newegg.com I bought this Kingston Flash Memory because a AT&T tech recommended I get a flash memory. I chose Kingston because of the GB and the price. from Amazon.com I like the looks of it, I agree with other reviews, the lid does not snaps into place when closed, so it's easy to get open on your back pack, and it's a little slow. I bought it because of price and good looks :-) It's an USB drive... there is not much to say. from Amazon.com This is a great flash memory system. I have an Acer minilaptop without any internal drives other than the "C" drive so a USB flash is the method to install files and programs. Works great! from Amazon.com This flash drive is compact and very slick looking. The cover doesn't "click" or "snap" in place, which would be nice, but I haven't had any problems with it spinning around and the USB plug being exposed in my pocket or laptop bag. from Amazon.com Pros: The best thing is that there is no cap to lose. The yellow color helps to locate it quickly as it is pretty small. Since it is small and not bulky, you shouldn't have any problems plugging in another USB item into the port next to where this flash drive plugged in. Also it is good that flash drive prices have fallen. from Amazon.com Can't beat it for the money. Wish it had a detent stop when it covers the USB connector, so it couldn't slide open easily when being transported - but that's a minor issue. All in all, looks and works great - nice to see the circuitry through the tranparent housing. from Amazon.com
