Crucial 8GB Flash Drive (USB2.0 Portable) Model JDOD8GB-730

Pros: Sleek design.

Cons: None

Pros: light, nice cap design, cheap.

Cons: stopped working after a few months,

Pros: it is compact in size
it has a large capacity

Cons: I lost it
cap might be easily lost.

Other Thoughts: i did not benchmark it, but I can say that it was stable and nice.

Pros: reliable; format it every once and a while and its speed stays good for a considerable time. shape (see also cons). only one i ever owned that the cap lasts on

Cons: shape shape shape

Other Thoughts: Ive owned quite a few of these;use two to three of them daily and constantly. Plenty other brands are cheaper, plenty of other brands last three months or under. I do transfer my apps/data off and format it every month or two and that seems to speed it up, especially as they get older than a year. Also, for the occasional DOS only BIOS update, I have yet to find a BIOS that does not see it as I have had happen with other brands. I sell a few different brands, and I have done work on, work from, or transferred data to, many different brand USB drives and if any of my customers ask me which is best I would not hesitate to push this one first.
The shape sucks, especially when you have a laptop with only two USB ports and it doesnt have a keyboard...so youre using a USB key...running in windows checking CPU temp, say, and you need to have one of these in there too for an app...I suppose that is what USB extenders are for. Shape is better for removal(physical); better, even grip on removal

Pros: This thing is great! I love that I don't have to have 40 pounds of keys hanging off my USB port. The cap is TIGHT after a year in and out of my pocket on my key ring. It takes a good bit of force to remove and it would NEVER fall off.

Cons: It's not 32GB

Other Thoughts: Waiting 'till the price drops on a larger one.

Pros: Speed is reasonable, very compact and convenient, great price therefore great value

Cons: none

Other Thoughts: none

Pros: pretty fast transfering files and is a small stick shape not some weird oblong shape like other usb drives that might not fit right in my computers front usb ports. has a red led and is 8gb from a reliable brand crucial. got on sale right after christmas for 15$ with free shipping.

Cons: none.

Pros: Nice, still works perfectly after a long time (in this business anyway).

Crucial really does make good stuff, not the cheapest, but good stuff.

Cons: Price, this is now rather expensive compared to the rest of the market. Then again, I paid more than the current price, so that is how it goes.

Pros: This particular USB stick makes my computer hang when booting but my two other Kingston Data traveler sticks don't. I think I'll keep it for a put-it-in-the-drawer backup

Cons: makes boot time much longer & seems VERY slow when accessing via Windows 7 OS

Pros: Faster than other flash drives I have

Cons: None I can think of

Other Thoughts: Had one of these flash drives for more than a year and a half used it a lot this is a good drive
