Customer Reviews:

broken keychain [Posted on 2007-01-03]
The Drive part works fine. The keychain connection broke in the first week. I bought it specifically for the ease to carry on the keychain that was gon within a week

Flash Drive [Posted on 2007-01-05]
This "Rugged" flash drive is a great storage device. The only thing about it is that it is not rugged! I had it connected to the included carabiner and it fell off one day! Luckily someone noticed and gave it to me. The connecting device is connected to the flash drive by a small rubber loop. After one week that loop failed. If you want a "rugged" flash drive do not buy this one. Now I have it just floating in my backpack.

Tribeca Usb Flash Drive [Posted on 2007-02-10]
I must say the drive is a fine, stylish and fully functional piece of technology. Black-resilient rubber-made casing with an attractive red light instead of the dull blue of Voyager models and others. I must also say the technical support is also 5-star deserving, You can ask for security software (password enabling)to them and they will take care of you as it were a $1,000 buy. Excellent experience from a power user(I am a systems engineer), I highly recommend it.

Write Protected?? [Posted on 2007-03-01]
I had the Tribeca for about one month and it began to fail when copying files by returning a message that stated the "Target Drive was Write Protected". I suffered with this for a few weeks and then bought a SanDisk Cruzer as I should have done in the first place. You get what you pay for. Cruzer has worked well for about six months now.

Piece of junk [Posted on 2007-06-11]
Bought this thinking that it was pretty cheap for 1GB of storage. Everytime I've tried to use it past the first 3 times, it inevitably comes up with an error that files are write-protected. Tried to format the thing and can't even do that as the OS says it can't format a write-protected device. This has been the case on 6 different machines (laptop, desktop & Mac). It's essentially trash at this point. If you're looking to buy this, DON'T! It's a waste of your money.
