Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of EMTEC C200 Professional Series 32 GB High Capacity High Speed USB Flash Drive EKMMD32GC200 (Black and Chrome)Customer Review: Best USB flash drive price/GB Summary: 4 Stars
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!
