Summary: Excellent Product!
Review: This product is a fantastic solution for carrying data files, keeping important or sensitive files locked away in a drawer or in your briefcase, and quickly moving files between computers. It also has password protection and encryption software that works very well. It's the fastest way for me to transfer files between my Mac laptop and desktop at home (OS X) and my Sony Vaio laptop or Gateway desktop (Windows XP and 2000) at work. No drivers needed. On the Mac, it automatically shows up on your desktop just like an external drive as soon as you plug it in (and you can plug it into the USB port on your keyboard), and just drag it to the trash to eject. On Windows machines, as soon as you plug it in it is visible in Windows Explorer or My Computer, and an icon appears in your toolbar that you can click to disconnect. [The person who had trouble with his (see other review) just disconnected it while it was still saving data, which can corrupt the data. The solution is just to plug it back in, erase the file(s), and copy new ones.] It's like 3M Post-It Notes -- once you have one, you'll wonder what you did without it.

Summary: Great product for the organizationally challenged
Review: This product is SO convenient. Unlike my first USB keychain drive, it fits into every USB port I've run across without needing an extension cord or adapter.

If you are a person who needs to use several different computers in the course of a day or week, and you never seem to have the right files with you, I highly recommend this drive. I just wish I'd bought the 256MB version--maybe next payday! :)

Summary: Fragile... depends on your definition.
Review: Yes, it's ridiculously overpriced. I got this as a gift and didn't expect much out of it--the same you would expect from any USB drive. But I felt compelled to praise it after surviving what I'm sure almost no other USB drive can: a ride in the washing machine. That's right, my Micro Vault lived after 30 minutes submerged in water. I'm not arguing that this is a selling point for a drive that costs two or three times as much as its competition, but still, maybe you are the kind of person like me to forget where you put your unreplaceable possesions.
