Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description

With Linksys, there's no need to burn CDs or use slow floppy disks to move data. The Linksys Instant USB Disk makes portable data storage easy. When you need to transfer data, music, graphics, or multimedia files from one computer to another, the Instant USB Disk is the ideal mode, whether you're at home, in the office, or on the road.

This durable, shock-resistant, solid-state storage device is certified to retain data for at least 10 years. It complies with USB specification 1.1, which means you get full USB plug-and-play connectivity for hot-swappable, cable-free convenience. And it's bus-powered, so it doesn't require an external power supply. It even includes a pocket clip, and a key chain hole further simplifies transport.

The Instant USB Disk is compatible with Windows 98 SE, 2000, Me, and XP, as well as with Mac OS 9.0 or later and Linux 2.4.0 or later. No driver installation is needed, except for Windows 98 SE, which requires a USB driver (included). Linksys provides free technical support (except for Mac or Linux operating systems) 24 hours a day, seven days a week, toll-free within the United States. Linksys covers the product with a one-year limited warranty.

5.0 out of 5 stars Durable, sleek, cross-platform file storage, February 28, 2003

This review is from: Cisco-Linksys USBM128M Instant USB Disk 128MB (Personal Computers)

As a student I found this device to be extremely handy. If you are tired of broken jewel cases or bent floppy disks in your backpack, the durable Linksys USB Drive is just for you. If you use different computers between home, work and school, the small and lightweight Linksys USB drive travels with ease.

The main advantage of this device is that it works on multiple platforms. I've used in on a Mac iBook, Windows 2000 Pro and Windows 98. No drivers are required except for Windows 98. A CD-ROM with software is included but you can also access the drivers on the Linksys website if your workstation does not have a CD drive.

The box also contains a USB extension cord, so if your desktop computer does not have front USB access you do not have to constantly reach behind your computer to insert the drive.

Overall, I rate this product highly. I recommend it to students and geeks alike!

Update: Still working as of June 2004 - no drivers required for Windows XP.

Bought this item in June and it has worked flawlessly. I swap files between Windows 2000 at work and Windows ME at home. The only issue with W2K is that I have to boot the computer with the USB disk installed in the port, or it won't be recognized. But then I can take it in and out as often as needed until I reboot. So I just have to plan ahead or face a shut down and startup.
There are no issues with ME, it just works. So much more convenient than burning CD's!
One minor complaint, the attachment to the case seems a bit weak, in other words, it comes out very easily. I'd never trust it around my neck.
Great product.

Works as advertised, fast, easy and the case is pretty solid (seems like it would be pretty tough to break. I've had great success with Linksys products overall - continued here.
