This review is from: A-DATA S805 8 GB USB 2.0 Flash Drive 8GS805BK (Grey) (Personal Computers)

I like to keep a flash drive on my key chain but the plastic cases all seem to break after 3-4 months use. The drives themselves still work, but not whatever contraption that it had to hold it to a key chain. With this flash drive, I feel confident it will make it longer. The drive housing is metal and feels very solid. It is also very easy to take off of a key chain which I really like. As far as data transfer goes, it seems fast enough. Not the fastest one I have ever used but works fine anyway. Installed TrueCrypt on it day one for a portion of the drive and it works like a champ. Overall a great drive that I highly recommend.

Update (1/26/2010) - I originally purchased this flash drive on September 21, 2009, and when I plugged it in today...nothing. Windows won't mount it or even recognize it is there. I have tried it on 2 other PCs and still no dice. Going to contact A-Data and check on the warranty period, but at this point I have a bad taste in my mouth about this product. I didn't suffer a massive data loss because I keep everything backed up, but it is inconvenient having to get a new drive and set it back up.

5.0 out of 5 stars Durability and style, November 10, 2009

This review is from: A-DATA S805 4 GB USB Flash Drive 4GS805BK (Grey) (Personal Computers)

I am a RN and Working in the hospital wearing the scrub it is hard enough to stuff all the basic supplies and movil units in the pockets it is hard enough to move around. This design is durable and has a professional style... I don't get to loose information and it can be attached to the key holder to the cellphone.

The design is very welcome since it is unisex, neutral color and hightly portable. The quality is great... this is my 3ed flashdrive from A-data and all of them are working well. I also use a SD card that works as flashdrive and mini-SD at the same time. I upgrade my laptop memory to 4 GB. So far they all work fine and the price is fair.

Just got this, so I can't speak to how it holds up long term, but had no problem copying a bunch of folders with my important reference documents (plus some family photos) onto it. The big difference between this one and most of the others is that it has a "serious" and tailored look. It's not very big, but the frame of the drive is a nice polished steel which gives it a solid look and a substantial, expensive feel when you hold it. Much heavier than most flash drives -- clearly not for those who need to carry around multiple flash drives for storing tons and tons of huge files. But if you're a relatively light user like me, using it only for business documents & simple presentations(versus photos, videos and songs) this is a great choice to put in your briefcase. It is attractive and "grown-up" looking, not at all rinky-dink if you need to use it during client meetings, presentations, etc. Actually it also has a bit of "camouflage" benefit too since it doesn't look much like a flash drive when closed, it would probably be taken for a novelty key ring. And the built in hook is extremely convenient for attaching to a key-ring or any other place where it won't get lost.
