Pros: You can boot Live Linux distributions from the drive... BIG PLUS! It has a fast transfer rate. The cap snaps on rather then slides on. Another nice feature is how the cap fits on the end of the drive when you have it plugged into a computer. The activity light is very noticeable.

Cons: The grips on the side work well but not as well as I thought they would. You still have to squeeze as tight as you would with any other USB drive.

Overall Review: The drive comes with FAT32 format. It works with XP and Linux... I don't use Vista and rarely use XP. But I have had no problems with the drive in Windows or Linux. I like the contrasting colors: purple and white. Some people might not like it but it makes me think of being royalty in the first century.
