Customer Review: Plastic Connector Broke in One Month
Summary: 1 Stars

Imation Atom 8G USB Thumb Drive / B001B1AIIQ

When my old USB thumb drive was broken beyond all repair, I really fretted over the replacement. I wanted something small and unobtrusive, due to the many times that I had seen thumb drives damaged by brushing against the extruding drive in accident. I am really surprised that there does not yet exist a model that can lie flush against the side of the computer, but this Atom drive seemed the next best thing.

The Atom is remarkably small - the shown image of it next to a small paperclip is accurate - and it communicates amiably so far with every machine I have used it with. The drive initially came loaded with some security software, but as I was not interested in it, I removed it from the drive, and have had no problems with the drive operation doing so. I couldn't be happier with my little thumb drive, in fact.

EDIT: Literally one month after buying this, the black plastic fractured and broke badly, after VERY light use and carrying in my purse. Considering that the thumb drive I had before this lasted for 3+ years in my purse, and considering the sizable price for this drive, I am very disappointed. I originally gave this USB five stars for ease of use (as you can see above), but with quality this poor, there's no reason to spend money on this device. I would return it if I could at this point, but I no longer have the original packaging.

EDIT2: And Imation has still not returned my email informing them about the problem and requesting that they replace the thumb drive as it must surely still be under some form of warranty. I am terribly disappointed and will not buy from Imation again.
