There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
I have purchased these in the past with nothing out of the ordinary, ready to go, but the drive I just received appeared to be DOA. My Linux machines would not see it when plugged in. I went to my XP pro machine, it come up in My Computer but it indicated no open disk space.
I attempted to format but it would not format the drive.
I ended up going into MANAGE DISKs, the same screen you have to go to when you initialize your hard drives. The thumb drive was there but indicated it needed formatting. Clicked on format, and after about 2 minutes, it was formatted and ready to go. Now the Linux machines can find the drive as well.
This was a very unusual occurrance and I don't expect to find this problem very often. It was a drive that was returned so I don't know if the previous buyer did something to foul the works or if it was a manufacturing debuckle. However the fix was easy and took little time.
I like the sleek look of these drives, the size is perfect for my needs, very small physical size so be careful as it can be lost easily, the storage size is good and its not the fastest drive which I was aware of when I bought it.
One very CRITICAL point. This is a drive, a memory drive. It has the same memory inconsistancies that the SSDs have. that is, it is a memory drive and as you use it, look at is as when ever you write to it, the memory developes a resistance to being written to. ALL memory drives have this concern, SSDs and thumb drives. In time, you will no longer be able to write to this memory drive. I think the estimate is 4 to 5 years, depending on how much writing you do to your drives.
To AVOID DATA LOSS, and this is true of ALL DRIVES no matter what kind, MAKE YOUR COPY OF THE DRIVES.
All these complaints of Data loss is on you, not the drive. You know the drive, any drive, can fail so when you buy a thumb drive, SSD, HDD, whatever, buy two. In the case of SSD's, it is recommended to buy a HDD for the backup drive. One is the working drive, the second is the back up drive. If you do not do this, plan on losing your data at some point. It WILL HAPPEN.
My fast suggestion for storing such small a drive is pick up a cheap USB hub and plug the USB drive in those hubs. You can label them if needed for fast access and is a really handy way to keep the USB drives stored without losing them.
The USB hubs come in many sizes where the small compact ones are great for transporting USB drives and the larger USB HUBS work well in office or home.
I do, however strongly urge you to resist hanging ANY kind of USB thumb drive from a key chain. Putting any drive on a key chain, and then put said key chain into a pocket submits the drive to forces when your body is against a counter, wall, even the art of walking and chewing gum at the same time is pressing keys against the drive.
We constantly see reviews about complaints that the drive electronics fall out and get lost or the drive just stops working. Those forces against the drive is pushing and bending the drive case, as metal does allow, plastic even more so, and things will break, disconnect, come loose from any glue and parts fall out.
In my study it has never been a good idea to attach to a key ring and in most cases has ended up in damage or lost memory.
I would recommend this drive for a good looking drive, compact and reliable memory, if high speed is not a concern.
I do not know this seller and I did not receive any merchandise or payment for my independent review.

A little shorter than an average house key, it fits perfectly on my key ring without getting in the way. The sturdy aluminum housing has not only held up well to the abuse it suffers while in close proximity to my keys, but it also looks great. Whenever I take it out, people like to give it a closer look because it has great lines -- very modern and futuristic.
From a utility perspective, it is top notch. Because it I always have it with me, it is loaded with files and apps that come in handy in a pinch. Here are some of the things I keep on the drive:
-- I have a folder with some awesome pictures of my family. This is great when visiting relatives - I can give them school pictures and family pictures for them to print.
-- I keep a kid’s movie (the Lego Movie right now) on the drive at all times, 5-10 episodes of their favorite shows (Paw Patrol) and a huge folder full of music. This alone has saved my life on a number of occasions with many televisions and most cars coming with USB ports as standard connections.
-- I also keep an encrypted file containing some of my passwords (managed by 1Password). While the very security conscious out there might not recommend this, I feel the risk of the drive falling into the hands of a person motivated and educated enough to decrypt this file are slim.
-- There is still plenty of space for incidental file storage left on the drive – 16GB is more than enough.
The physical connections to the USB port seem very solid which is often an issue with tiny drives like this. If anything, it tends to be a bit tight with some ports. While I have not personally had the types of issues that some other reviewers seem to have with this drive not fitting into USB ports, I can see how that may be a problem. I would recommend your checking the fit on your laptop or other hardware before starting to use the drive.
From a speed perspective, it is about average for a USB 2.0 drive at 24 MB/s (r) and 4 MB/s (w). I have rarely been inconvenienced by the speed, but for those who want to edit right off the device or use it as a network-storage disk, you may want to consider a faster drive.
Overall, this drive has been an indispensable component of my EDC (every day carry) and is a solid piece of hardware for a variety of uses.
