Pros: 8 Gig! $5.

Cons: Kinda hard to figure out which end is up when putting into USB slot.

Other Thoughts: Only had this USB chip for a little while so can't evaluate longevity or wear or reliability over time. I am very impressed at the size of the chip and the slot fitting design. Thing is very small, so I am concerned about loss. 8 Gig for $5 (actually free because mine was a promo with another order). Remember when a 512MB SD chip was $40.

Pros: Fits on a keychain

Cons: Opens a lot, exposing contacts

Other Thoughts: I got this for free, so that is a plus for sure. It seems to work just fine, but if you put it on a keychain, there is a good chance it will fold in half and expose the gold contacts to the world. So far, no problem, but just saying...

Pros: It was a freebie with purchase of TurboTax. It does work with 7.45 GB actual space available.

Cons: USB 2.0 interface is so SLOW. My regular USB Flash Drives are all USB 3.0 and oh so much faster. Only reason to buy as USB 2.0 drive is if your computer does not have a USB 3.0 port.

Manufacturer Response:

Dear jarizona,

The speed of the flash drive depends upon different factors. The factors includes the USB interface through which the flash drive is connected, the type of files being transferred and the operating system. Also, this flash drive is our entry level flash drive and doesn't have a published read/write speed.

If transfer speed is of your primary concern, you can go for SanDisk Extreme Pro 3.0, Extreme 3.0, Ultra USB 3.0 and 2.0. We suggest you to please contact SanDisk support at 1-866-SANDISK or submit a support request at www.sandisk.com/support for further assistance.

Thank you,
Daniel,
SanDisk Support

Pros: Small in size, cheap in price

Cons: extremely slow in write speed, very slow in read speed,

Other Thoughts: The only thing good about this device is its size, very good for carrying it on the key ring. As far as the read/write speed is concerned, it is painfully slow.

Pros: Very small size. Has a small loop for carrying on a lanyard (not included.) Has a cap that is attached so you don't lose it. The drive actually folds back to expose the connector.

Cons: Unfortunately, I opened the packed and it did not work. Tested it on another pc and same result: nothing. I gave it 2 stars because I called SanDisk tech support and a person answered. He confirmed that the unit was defective and I should contact newegg, or he could process a replacement but it would take longer.

Other Thoughts: I guess it happens... but why always to me? ;)

Pros: Works

Cons: Not so far

Pros: Fast. Small. Hidden. Name.

Cons: None that i have found

Other Thoughts: Great for saving documents and photos. The flash drive bends in two but when closed does no look like a flash drive. Cool color.

Pros: small and compact - xfer rate appears to be quick

Cons: capacity - but it is only for 8 gb movies so it is ok for that
