Fantastic value for money January 8, 2009
After reading some of the other reviews on this page, I wanted to add I have also washed this device and it lived to tell the tale! Compared to other USB's I've owned (I loose a lot!) this is great value for money, robust and reliable. Hence, I'm back to buy another one after my last USB (a titanium cruizer) fried itself.
 Cheap doesn't mean better December 16, 2008
I bought this because the original USB flash drive I had was badly damaged. This one may have a lot of memory, but trust me, it isn't worth even half the price.
Firsty, unlike other USB flash drives there is no AutoRun. Secondly, even if you created an AutoRun file, it still won't do anything. Finally, after a while it mucks up the USB interface on my computer, so I would need to restart the computer in order to get Internet access again.
Best thing to do with this junk is to chuck it into the sea

I bought mine over a year ago and use it quiet a lot, never had a single problem with it. Ultra light and simply good value for money.
I just wish it had a security softare inside, for password encryption, as it stands it doesn't have any security. So looses 4 starts because of that! Security is the top priority when you want to have such a small device to store important documents.
Wish I had bought this before June 18, 2008

I needed to transfer over 60GB of photos, music and data to another machine so that I could format one of my storage partitions. A long and tedious session of DVD backups resulted in a few corrupt files so I set about looking for a non network solution and found these wonderful gadgets.
I have now transferred all my data, corrected the problem on the data partition and ferried the data back from the backup machine all without a hitch and it was not too slow.
One regret is that I did not buy the 8GB version because many of my folders were too big to put on the 4GB device all at once. As I am intending to buy a Vista machine soon and will be distributing my large photo collection and other data between this and two other XP machines for permanent backups in addition to DVD I may buy the 8GB version and use this one to carry important data around with me in my handbag, it's so small.
With regard to the size, yes it is small and you have to be careful not to lose it but what I did was to attach it to a short connecting cable that came with an MP3 player and therefore there was no strain on the business end of the device. It also made it easier to find if I dropped it.
I would suggest to anyone who found the device slow that maybe their machine was lacking in sufficient memory or they were trying to run other memory hungry processes at the same time. I am running XP Pro with lGB memory. I found it was best to let the data transfer have all the resources available and I also rebooted a few times to free up the cache and any locked memory.
