Nothing better
Pros: Dependable, reliable, faster than any others that I have tried. Sometimes amazing difference. I've show friends comparisons against their and they've thrown theirs away.
Cons: Use to be over-priced, but getting reasonable.
re: Manufacturers response
Pros: After my new one was replaced with a refurbished one, it's been working fine. Still lost all my files within 3 months of purchase.
Cons: Unreliable. They seem to replace your NEW, failed drive with a refurbished one. Would you accept that with a new car?
Overall Review: Completely failed on me after 3 months or so, they replaced with a refurbished unit. That' doesn't seem fair to me, although the refurbished one has only crapped out once with heavy use for over a year now. I use it daily with heavy use for transferring and backing up thousands of photos. Recovery process is only 30% effective, so I only trust backing up to two different devices at once.
Data Corruption
Pros: Worked good for a year... about 3 times per month.
Cons: Started discovering corrupt files upon transferring from one device to another. Finally traced it down to this thumb drive. Time to look for something more reliable.
Overall Review: I shoot around 2500 photos of Motor Sports photography and short video clips and often need something portable to move files from one machine to another. I tried reformatting this device several times but it kept detecting errors after a use or two.
Doesn't fit right
Pros: Wonderful, quality bag with lots of storage.
Cons: After reading all the reviews for carrying a 17.3" Laptop in the special compartment of this bag, I was sold. However, when I got it, my ASUS G75VX-TS72 17.3 will NOT fit in the pocket. It will ride in the main, open compartment, but not the one that was highly touted for the extra padding and all.
