Simple and works

Reviewed By: sgip2000 on 4/14/2009

Tech Level: high - Ownership: less than 1 day

This user purchased this item from Newegg

Pros: Fairly compact. Large capacity. Fast file transfers.

Cons: Slot for a lanyard is on the cap and not the actual drive.

Other Thoughts: For the reviewer who stated that large file transferes were corrupted, have you tried reformatting the drive to NTFS? The default file format is FAT32. FAT32 does not support files larger than 4GB.

Simple in a good way.

Tech Level: somewhat high - Ownership: 1 day to 1 week

This user purchased this item from Newegg

Pros: 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.
I also wasn't aware that there's a writing space on the backside of the stick for scribbling your name down with a permanent marker. Thoughtful considering that this is an all black stick.

Cons: The lanyard-attachment hole is on the cap. I mentioned above that it's a really well made cap. Nevertheless, the two components that flash drives are made up of I've found that I lose caps and not the sticks.

Other Thoughts: My girlfriend's previous 256 Mb or 512 Mb stick died on her during finals (losing the final edit of a 3-page exam paper) so I was looking for a replacement. Something with text document/PowerPoint file sizes in mind.
This was great because she's not tech savvy and doesn't need multiple-movie size space.

Tech Level: average - Ownership: 1 month to 1 year

This user purchased this item from Newegg

Pros: Nice solid cap.

Cons: Overall, seems like a good product for a decent price. Just wished it lasted longer.

Other Thoughts: Stopped working 6 months after purchase. Trying to RMA back to Crucial. Filled out an RMA request on the Crucial web site a week ago and no response from Crucial. Going to try again this morning. As with other commodity-based items, the only thing that separates one product from another is customer service. Crucial should step up and honor their 1 year warranty. slooks like it'll take a year jsut to get an RMA number :)
