I really like this USB flash drive. I just don't feel very secure about it surviving a drop to the ground or two. It works well and is great for the price. The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is because of the plastic shell that houses the device. I just immediately wrapped it in tape a couple of times just to make sure it won't crack if dropped. I also really like the retracting USB connector.
I recently purchased this drive, and compared to others that I own, e.g., a Verbatim, this one is made of what appears to be very cheap plastic. Time will tell if it will hold up to normal use, but I have my doubts. I also doubt the retail price posted on Amazon. On the other hand, it functions well.
I've had the drive for about 10 months. It came apart after 10 months of use, the plastic seems to be very cheap. It doesn't work well with my Mac Leopard 10.5 OS, it locks up after an undetermined amount of time and it sometimes even brings the OS along with it. Apart from this, the construction is of poor quality. I had to tape it back together with black tape. If you want a USB drive, try Kingston's more reliable/compatible/trusty DTI series or other brands.
The USB flash drive worked just fine on laptops. I had to be careful on some machines to make sure the drive letter was unique. On my desktop it only worked on the USB ports in the back. But that's more about the machines than the drive.
This product was very easy to use and opperate, too. I highly recommand this product to friend. Thank You.
