Customer Review: Careful or you may lose it!
Summary: 2 Stars
I am not a computer expert. I do use flash memory quite a lot in college, though. My last flash memory pen drive was, at 256 megs, insufficient for my uses. Needing at least 1 gig as soon as possible, I searched amazon.com for the (or one of the) least expensive flash memory pen drives.
I should have been more careful and deliberate. The 1.91 GB pen did install itself automatically on my Windows XP Professional - no problems there. However, when I ordered the "pen" I didn't take a good look at the picture. If you do, you'll notice that there is an extremely flimsly little ring that holds the flash drive to the provided lanyard. The lanyard itself looks like it's made of slightly stretchable mylar blue rubber - not particularly trustworthy.
So, unless you always carry flash drives in your pocket, save yourself from the inevitable pain of losing two gigs worth of data/homework/whatever. For my part, it's too late. I gently attached the flashy blue lanyard to the little ring... and bent the ring out of shape - without even trying!
The product works well, as far as I can tell - that is, it meets my needs. I don't have another 2GB flash drive to compare it to, though. A friend recently asked to borrow it and he found it on the slow side. Sometimes, when moving a lot of data, it'll tell you how many minutes are left, then every few seconds it will re-estimate how long it will take to get the job done... and you may think you're almost done with only a minute left, and all of a sudden the number of minutes it expects it'll take will start climbing up again. So if it's a lot of data (say, more than one GB,) you may have to wait about five minutes. I find that acceptable, as I guess I'm getting older for I find it incredible to be able to carry so much data in so little space!
