Simple in a good way.

The cap is not flimsy. There's a solid click when you put it on and good resistance when you go to pull it off again.

5 out of 5 eggsreliability

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

5 out of 5 eggsPerfect Drive

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.

5 out of 5 eggsAfter more than a year, still works perfectly, very nice

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.

1 out of 5 eggsNot So Good

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
