OCZ Diesel 8GB USB 2.0 Flash Drive Model OCZUSBDSL8G

Pros: I purchased these because I have a bunch of data sticks that are small (smallest being 256 mb) and old... I figure it was time for an update and I wanted to transfer some large files from my laptop to my pc (couldn't use ethernet cable).

They've worked really well. I haven't had any issues with them that people have mentioned. The speeds start of rather slow, but then pick up quite a bit. I figure most people who have issues with corrupt data and the likes don't eject/remove the data stick properly... so that is on their part, not the manufacturer.

Cons: Clear cap, can't really put it on a key chain along with my other stash of data sticks.

Other Thoughts: I got them on sale, and bought two because there was a larger discount for buying in "bulk." I'm glad I bought these, decent memory and good speed for a low price.

Pros: fast
cheap
reliable

Cons: none

Other Thoughts: i was looking for a device to transfer generally large files form computer to computer and to install OS's with for computers with failed CD drives and or computers without disk drives at all. i bought two of these figuring i would use one for programs and data i usually need every time i do a computer job and another one to have a couple OS's on to install in case worst comes to worst. found the transfer rate to be extraordinary and the reliability top notch to date. i have had no issues and for the price this is a must buy.

Pros: Had this for over 3 years. Still carry and use it almost every day.
I've given this flash drive a thorough washing and drying well over a dozen times. Still working!
Especially for the price, it's got some decent speed to it.
After you lose the cap and the ring breaks off (DO NOT PUT THIS ON YOUR KEY RING), it's basically indestructible. Love the metal casing!

Cons: Week 1: Lose cheap plastic cap.
Week 2: Cheap plastic ring breaks off keychain.
Week 3 - Forever: Shove in pocket.

Other Thoughts: They had the right idea, but didn't follow through on the whole design (CAP AND KEYRING!)

Reliable and decently fast.

Pros: Good flash drive, with no issues to report :)

Cons: None!

Pros: Still works after 2 years. Speeds are fine, but not always. Solid

Cons: Clear cap is one of the dumbest idea's ever.. but not worth an egg

Other Thoughts: First of all, I have never been rough with it, I don't put it on a keyring, nor have I slayed any dragons (I have my trusty knife for that). I've had it for 2 years and I have to say, it does exactly what it is supposed to do. There 'are' times when it runs a bit slow, but not often.. and not on all machines. Would buy again ..(hate the cap).

Pros: Beautiful look and design. Seems to be fast enough although i have not used and official benchmarking software to put it through the paces.

Cons: I cant find anything to complain about.

Other Thoughts: I wish i could have purchased the bigger one or even a coupe more of them.

Pros: I have the 4GB drive, it's been through the washer and dryer twice and still works perfect.

Cons: Have used mine nearly every day for a couple years, the plastic key ring loop was broken within a few weeks. I find this is the case no matter what brand I've used. Make that thing metal too and I'll buy a few more just to have on hand.

Pros: I have a 16GB and it worked, but...

Cons: 13 months later of light use it will disconnect from every laptop that I try it in after only a few minutes of writing data. I just replaced with a Lexar so I hope to have better luck.

Other Thoughts: Don't buy Diesel branded thumb drives. I Googled and others have the same issues with this brand.

Pros: 8gb for cheap cheap.

Cons: can't retain the cap and it's slow.

Pros: Aluminum body. Clean appearance and form factor.

Cons: They fail after a few weeks. I have had two of them fail, which in my opinion exceeds the probability that I may have simply gotten a defective unit. There is a serious design or manufacturing problem with this unit. Given the price, it's not worth returning this 2nd defective unit. I'm pitching it in the trash and never buying OCZ again.

Other Thoughts: The metal body would appear to enhance the reliability of the unit but the plastic chain loop fails easily on a keychain.
