Features: Two thumbs up for US Modular flash thumb drive. [Posted on 2006-05-31]
The US Modular flash thumb drive I received is plastic in construction, small, light-weight, ivory in color, with a small red led light which shows activity.
One of my favorite things about this drive is it's thin, narrow form factor. Even with other USB cables connected the computer I have no problems fitting the US Modular flash drive into an adjacent USB port. The drive works great on USB ports on both Mac and PC, but remember to eject or stop the drive before disconnecting from the computer. I disconnected it once before it was completely "ejected" and lost some data. The drive's actual capacity is 249.7 MB as some storage is lost to formatting and the difference in how the computer makers interpret storage vs. how the drive makers interpret storage.
With the US Modular 256 MB flash drive, I have transfered pictures, music, and entire application upgrades and patches, without any problems whatsoever except for my own negligence in properly ejecting the drive. I have yet to come close to filling this drive and it has saved me from having to burn countless piles of CD-Rs. It's hard for me to believe that US Modular has a flash drive of the same small form that can hold up to 4GB! It's so small in fact, that it is easy to forget it's in your pocket. I forgot my drive in my jeans pocket once and it went through the wash with no ill effects... still works perfectly.
These things are so cool compared to having to wait for a CD to burn or compared to the floppy disks I had to use a few years back.
I give the US Modular line of flash thumb drives two "thumbs" up for offering cheap flash storage in a device made right here in the good ol' USA. I wouldn't hesitate to get another US Modular thumb drive.
