Better than Expected

I bought this flash drive because it was such a good deal when taking into account price/gb. As others have said, the write speed may be slow for some, but you don't often write big files to a flash drive anyway, so it was no big deal for me. However, this flash drive comes factory set at NTFS which a Mac can only read, not write to. So I converted it to a fat32 and now can use it on both my Dell at home and Mac at school. Overall, it is a very good drive considering the cost, and don't let others sway you too much. If you're looking for a large flash for low price, this is the one for you!

The unit is reasonably priced but that is about it.

I do not like the cap (prefer all-in-one design) and the unit has a very slow data transfer rate.

I bought a 32BG Lexar (separately reviewed) from Amazon for about the same price that is smaller, faster and all-in-one.

Don't BUY it, It doesn't last.....

My worked for 13 months and then it doesn't work now, It will not let me save files to it, I tryied reformatting it and still no luck. It worked fine for the 1 year when it was in warrenty. I will never buy any thing from this CO. again. If you check out the thumbdrives at newegg and the 32Gig there are a couple at the $75.00 with a Life time Warr. and some with a 5 year but I will not buy the one's with a 1 year because I out the $80.00 I bought from Amazon on this Thumbdrive.

Serviceable but bulky

Reviewed in the United States on November 16, 2009

As a USB flash drive it works well and has a massive capacity for a good price. It won't win any design awards, but if all you want is storage, it gets the job done. The plastic construction feels a little flimsy and the cap can be a little difficult to remove. It does snap on very securely, though; you won't ever worry about it falling off. The main issues with the design are that it's wider and slightly thicker than most USB drives, so if you have two USB ports side by side, it may block access to one. On my laptop, one of the USB ports is arranged vertically, and this drive sticks out below the bottom of the laptop when I use that port. The other niggling issue is that there's no way to secure the cap when it's off, so it's easy to use. Why flash drives aren't all designed so the cap can be stored on the other end when not over the plug is beyond me.

Best USB flash drive price/GB

Reviewed in the United States on September 22, 2009

At $60, this is a very good deal if you need portable storage or a dedicated backup drive. (No, you won't fit your entire system onto it... but then, you don't need to. Unless you're a graphic designer or in a similar field, 32 GB will be more than enough storage for essential files.) That's what made me purchase it, and I don't regret it. This will more than hold my backups with room for growth, and all at a price that's lower than using a handful of smaller-capacity flash drives.

The unit is nice enough looking, but has a few odd quirks. Most importantly, it's VERY wide, twice as wide as most other flash drives. If you're plugging it into a tightly packed back panel, you may block another USB port. I imagine that most people will plug it into their front interface ports, which are often more generously spaced. It is, however, the biggest drawback of this drive, and one which you should be aware of before you wind up having to rearrange your whole USB network.

The drive comes with a cap which fits VERY tightly; it has an inset loop for a cord but no cord nor is there a place on the drive body for one. It also can't snap on the back side of the drive. Expect to lose the cap. It's also smooth plastic, which makes it more difficult to extract than a rubberized or patterned case. These are definitely minor points.

Oh, and I should mention that the memory is slow. Slower than other USB flash drives I've owned. I moved 5.15 GB of data from my old backup drive to this one, and between the two USB thumb drives it took four hours. Transfers from a motor HD are faster, of course, but you aren't going to get any ReadyBoost out of this device. Again, though, this is a minor point; if you're buying a USB flash drive expecting to get blazing speed, you need to learn something about the products.

So, make sure you know what you're getting: A very inexpensive large storage unit that's larger than most. I recommend it highly!

Great high capacity USB drive!

This drive works great, is fast and reliable. I only recently started to use it and wish I had put in in service earlier. The drive has a good amount of space and is compatible with most devices from media players, PCs, etc. I would buy this or a similar Emtec device if I have a need.

This thumb drive is limited in a number of ways. First, the USB plug-in area has a very wide base just distal to the USB adapter portion of the product. This creates a problem when using the thumb drive and a laptop (such as a MacBook Pro) with any other USB peripheral. Essentially, it takes up two spots because of the width. Second, the drive is partitioned. In actuality, I think it is two separate flash drives stored inside the device because there is no way to format and merge the separate 32 GB portions of the drive. Finally, the biggest problem is the slow data transfer rates. It makes transferring large files very painful. It's not necessary to purchase a really high end drive to get decent data transfer rates. I've used the Kingston Data Traveler, the SanDisk Cruiser, and the Corsair Flash Voyager with much better results. In summary, I would consider purchasing multiple 16 or 32 GB drives from the aforementioned companies over this drive with its many limitations.

i've been very happy with this usb drive. do realize it is bigger than the average because it has so much memory. this means that you might have to unplug other devices to get it into it's slot - at least on a laptop.
