Smallest Best Thumb Drive Ever! 07/28/2012
This review is from: Patriot Swing 8GB USB 2.0 Flash Drive Model PSF8GSBUSB
Pros:
* Super Small (take little room on keychain)
* Durable, Durable, Durable
* Have had several over the years and never a failure
Cons:
* Release Lobster Clasp not included
* Painted finish scratches off easily with tons of keys
* Easy to lose if you don't hang on to it (but I'm glad it's small)
Overall Review:
I'm an IT Consultant and I currently have 3 of these on my keychain now: 1) For applications & installs, Service Packs, etc. 2) As a boot device with various linux based system recovery and backup tools. 3) My "Encrypted" drive for client sensitive information. I've owned, given out, gifted out, or sold out more than 40 of these guys and never a failure yet. It's great for how small it is but I wish Patriot would include a lobster clasp with them for easy removal from keychain. This isn't a big deal as I just bought a pack of 20 from a local craft store for $2. Also I don't care that it's doesn't come with encryption software because I can download and use my own from TrueCrypt.org
