Necessary Flash drive [Posted on 2008-07-16]
Very useful and handy when you need to transfer files. It's best to have more memory then needed just in case you might need more space later. Bring pictures to work to show friends. Transfer music from laptop to desktop. Better then having to burn a disc when you just want a simple transfer. Waiting for when they will offer USB car radio input so you don't need to have CD's in your car, just bring in the flash drive and pop it in for mp3's. Highly recommended.

Love these things [Posted on 2008-07-19]
I put the pictures from about an 8in stack of CDs on the memory sticks and still have 2/3s of the space remaining. I store the pictures and critical data in a fire safe to protect them. When I moved to the memory sticks it opened up a big space in the safe. The information is much easier to access now that all the pictures of a major catagory are in a single organized location.

Excellent value [Posted on 2008-07-20]
I was looking for a big memory stick at a retail store and they were incredibly expensive. This one did the job of saving tons of movie clips...for a fraction of the price. Wish I had found this sooner--I've wasted too much on these in the past!

Solid little performer [Posted on 2008-07-20]
I bought this drive for a few uses. First, to make it easier for me to transport large files from work to home and back again without having to lug my heavy and slow laptop. Second, I wanted to use ReadyBoost (see other reviews for details, but basically Windows Vista can use this drive as additional RAM so you don't have to upgrade!) to pump up memory on my home computer when the drive is just sitting around.

This drive delivered on both. Reading and writing is super fast. I can fill up the drive in a little over a minute, which is pretty outstanding relative to other USB drives. Of course, that means there's less space available for ReadyBoost.

I also use this to use music and videos and photos on my Xbox 360. The Xbox sees the drive and is happy to either play right from the drive or copy to the Xbox hard drive. I find this incredibly useful and very few people seem to know that those little holes on the front of the Xbox 360 are just plain old USB ports. If only the Xbox supported ReadyBoost! :)

One word about the retractable USB connector: NICE. I've had too many break or get crushed, bent, filled with lint/crumbs/crud/etc. By no means is this drive 100% impervious to all that, but at least you have a better chance... and you won't lose the cap.

All in all, this is an outstanding piece of hardware for a very reasonable price.

Had it for about 1 month [Posted on 2008-07-20]
I have had this item for about 1 month now. It works great. Loads up very quickly. I use it on both my Mac and PC without issue or complication. I recently accidentally put it through the wash and it still works!!! Amazing.
