Memorex TravelDrive [Posted on 2007-10-23]
Oh yes you can go wrong buying from Memorex and there is a surprise!
NOTE from Memorex WEB page:
USB Flash Drives (TravelDrives)
Limited 1-Year Warranty: Memorex warrants this product against defects for one year from the date of original purchase. Purchaser's exclusive remedy is limited to replacement of any defective product. This warranty applies to the original purchaser, proof of original retail purchase is required. This warranty specifically excludes damage caused by misuse, abuse, improper storage, or use in a commercial application. This warranty applies only to this product and excludes bundled software, connected equipment or data recorded in any form. In no event shall Memorex be responsible for any direct, incidental, consequential or other damages of any kind.
You can see the warranty states replace! I just called them as the 4-gig drive I just bought is dead. I plugged it into the computer, transferred one small file to it and went to transfer the second and the drive was "write protected". There is no fix and I cannot remove my data from it. I found allot of people on the web that have the same problem. Nobody can fix it. Even Memorex states it cannot be fixed.
It was plugged in for 2 minutes. Memorex tells me I can ship it to them and they will send me a "reconditioned" unit. OR, I can contact the online company I bought it from and have them replace it. So, I paid $60.00 for new and got 2 min of use and they want to send me a reconditioned unit that if it happens again, they will claim there is no warranty for reconditioned product. They will not send a new one and THEY WANT ME TO SEND MY DATA TO SOMEONE ELSE.
You will also note the warranty on the web is 1 year. The warranty with the drive is 2 years. Well 2 years or 2 min. which ever comes first. I'm done. I won't do business with a multi-million dollar company that FAILS to disclose they replace product with refurbished item and makes there money by ripping off the little guy or the people who sell there product.
These things are great to have [Posted on 2007-11-07]
I've been using these since July. I only use the Memorex ones. I have not had any type of problem. They are fast, reliable, hold a lot of data. I can put about 112 songs on one. In fact, you can even copy video files on to the flash drive and transfer them to another device--easy to use. This is some of the best technology I have seen in a long time. It is probably just a matter of time until they come out with smaller, more portable computers. With the flash drives, you can literally walk around with several of the flash drives, have 40 or 50 gigs at your disposal--for maps, music, video, etc. I even use the 4 gig one for a backup drive. Memorex is providing a good solid product. If that changes, then I will change this review.
Great little item! [Posted on 2007-12-12]
These little traveldrives are great. I have one and had to get them for my college kids because they are so easy to use. If I can figure out how to use this trust me, anyone can. I'll never worry about lost files again. The price and ease of use makes this a great little gift.
Not too bad [Posted on 2008-04-28]
Would look around and get something bigger at this point for the same price, but it was good when I got it a while back. Still holding up well and zero problems.
Holds its data well [Posted on 2008-06-26]
I've had this traveldrive for over a year now. The outside is scratched, but I'm not delicate with it at all. I've dropped it numerous times and it's gone through the washing machine at least 3 times. I've never lost any data even with all this abuse. I would recommend this product to anyone who wants a rugged thumb drive.
