Decent flash drive,
I was somewhat hesitant purchasing this drive, as there were no reviews yet. I was mostly interested in read/write speeds, as they weren’t shown on the information page (or perhaps I missed it). For the 8 GB model, 7.53 GB are accessible, and the drive comes formatted in FAT32. I tried a few read/write tests, with digital camera RAW files. Copying around 7 GB resulted in a sustained write speed of 5.6 MB/sec, and sustained read speeds of the same files was around 28.6 MB/sec. I was impressed by the read speeds, but slightly disappointed in the write speeds. Granted I won’t often be filling the drive up (which would take about 20 minutes), so it won’t be too big of an issue, and for most data transfers I would not have benefited from any additional write speed.
Build quality is fairly impressive, as it’s made mostly out of aluminum. It feels solid in my hands, and looks to be fairly durable. The ends are plastic though, but I don’t think that matters much.
I feel it would be useful to have a key-chain loop included on it, in case you would want to easily have it with you at all times.
Overall, it’s a solid flash drive for the money, and you probably won’t be disappointed.

|Speedy for The Price: 40X Write, 100x Read.,
Pretty zippy for an inexpensive memory stick. Real solid feel. No annoying LED blinking while writing or reading. Does have a removable cap that will probably get lost. Lanyard hole on end.
Speed test:
Writing speed: 7.88 MByte/s
Reading speed: 17.7 MByte/s

|Works fine, sturdy and well designed,
This is a sturdy little data key and was attractively designed. Its cap fits snugly enough not to come off accidentally and protects the plug-in contact end. I have used it several times to backup vital data from my hard drive, and it has worked quickly and flawlessly. also, very handy to have to carry your computer files with you, either for safe keeping or for working on them at other computers while on the road. I plan on buying a larger capacity key in the near future.
Highly recommended.
