4 out of 5 stars Small and retractable   November 14, 2008

Initially I had problems with this Pen. On inserting, my Vista PC would crash (Blue Screen). I had other pen dives, which did not have this problem, although one other USB drive caused this error. br / br /I decided to rebuild the PC and the problem went away. I guess the Pen was not at fault, but may be its more sensative than my CORSAIR 2 Gb pen. br / br /The Pen also comes with software which allows you to keep your data and applications (like outlook) on the pen drive so that you can use different PCs. Did not get to test this functionality.


4 out of 5 stars Annoying, flashing light   November 12, 2008

This is an affordable USB key which I bought primarily to take advantage of the Vista Readyboost function (which it is capable of, despite what another reviewer might have suggested). It is a little flimsy, but given the price that's to be expected. However, there is a downside. I use the key on a laptop which has all its USB ports built into the side. When being used with Vista Readyboost the (big) orange light flashes constantly and can become an annoying distraction. But as already mentioned maybe that's to be expected at such an affordable price. br / br /In summary, this is a good USB key but if it's going to be used with a laptop without any rear USB ports you may want to look elsewhere. br /


4 out of 5 stars Great but.....   November 8, 2008

This is an excellent little Flash Drive. The only downside is the useless metal ring for putting on a keyring. It is too flimsy. Sandisk aren't the only people producing brilliant drive with no safe way of attaching the drive. These thinga are meant to keep your data safe, so why dont they design a nice solid part with a hole in to keep it safe??? I have the same problem with my Sandisk titanium drive.
