Summary: Great product!
Review: This one I use it as a combo reader/USB hard drive. The SD/MMC card inside can slide out easily. I use it with my IPAQ so I can transfer MP3 files quickly. Nice finish. The only drawback is this USB drive is a bit wide, so when you put it into a vertical USB slots (like my VAIO) one side tends to stuck on the table. It would not be a concern if your USB slot is placed horizontally. I find this USB drive is smaller then the Sandisk's cruzor but with similar functionality. Make sure you use it on a powered USB hub otherwise it does not work. Overall, its a solid product with competitive price.

Summary: Floppies be gone!
Review: What a great product! I loved it so much I bought 2!

Being a writer, I like to work on my projects wherever I may be. Sometimes I like to work on my desktop PC, sometimes on my laptop at the park, coffee shop or when I travel to do research...and sometimes I like to work at my lunch break at my real JOB. Before I purchased this product, I had floppy diskettes and CD-RWs all over the place--no more!

Now, I carry my projects and all of my electronic research material with me. Everything fits and it's a no-brainer to install...just plug it in. I had to download drivers for my desktop PC as it is still running WIN98SE, but that only took a few moments and then I was good to go.

This is PERFECT for anyone who has an electronic project to do, but can't always work on the same computer.

It's faster to copy than burning a CD and it's also less wasteful. It's universal, unlike some large media like LS-120 Superdisks or Zip Disks...so, unless the PC is really old, you can use this. Furthermore, it's MUCH smaller than those other products and comes with a lariat so you can wear it around your neck if you're forgetful like I am. It also comes with a USB extension cord, in case you can't fit it into your open USB slot because of the drive's case's design.

Basically, you can't go wrong. This is highly recommended and really nice to have around.

One hint: don't run applications off of this. Use it for storage, but if you download a program onto it, copy the program onto the local hard disk of the PC you're using before you run it. The speed can't match the speed on a PC's local hard disk.
