OK, I purchased this item last week, and I must say I am VERY impressed by it. I own several Verbatim 512 usb drives, a Sony 2gb usb drive, a Lexar 2 gb drive, and some smaller office usb drives (8 usb drives in total) and I must say this Imation drive is the best of all of these.
As to the comment made by the reviewer before about this drive being slow, this is simply not true. If you have a USB 2.0 capable system (newer to semi-newer system have by default) than this drive is actually very fast. I put over 3GB of software on my drive (THREE GIGABYTE!) and did this in less than 30 minutes, and that includes the time of me selecting the files I wanted to load on this! And my software folder on there alone has 1192 individual files in it! So to say this drive is slow, I can only say that there is something wrong with your system if it appears slow.
(Keep in mind, there is a difference between loading a few large files, and many little files; it will take longer to load numerous files than it does to load large files in small numbers. So if you're uploading 4311 small files equaling 1 gb to your drive, it takes longer than uploading 100 files that equal 1gb in size. But this is true for all usb drives and also for hard drives, and if any performance loss occurs because of this, it is in no way particular to this drive.)
Furthermore, from my experience with other usb flash drives I can say this: the Lexar lightning drive, the one with the chrome exterior, is also fast, but the Lexar get EXTREMELY hot to the touch, which can certainly not be considered good. So remember that when you're looking into purchasing one of those. In contrast, this Imation 4gb drive did not change temperature AT ALL, and I touched it during and just after transferring those 3gb of stuff, and it did not even feel slightly warm. That is just utterly amazing to me! So it is fast, and it is cool. So I am very impressed. It is also a lot faster than the Sony 2gb retractable usb drive that I have.
You can indeed wear it on your keychain. I actually did this because of the first reviewer's comments, and I love it! Now I always have my stuff on me, and if I ever need to help someone with their PC problem, or I need one of my files, I have it on me.
The rubber sleeve, wherein the little usb drive itself fits, is very flexible/mouldable, and the drive itself sits very snugly into it, and there is no risk of it coming out. The o-ring itself is fortified and made out of hard plastic, as so that it is strong and rugged. I took the clip itself off because I have it on a metal ring that also contains my keys, but I could see how the clip could be handy if you want to hang it on your belt-loop or something.
What else can I say? I am really impressed with this drive and I would recommend it to anyone.

Having never seen one of these up close, I found the picture of the unit confusing. The black you see is a pliable rubber shroud that completely encloses the drive except for the gray area you see. This makes the unit very water resistant. You have to bend and peel off the rubber in order to remove the drive from its case. The drive itself is minuscule, less than two inches long, and has no hole that would allow you to attach a lanyard.
To me, the drive is way too tiny and susceptible to loss. It does have a blue LED and copied 300 MB of files in about two minutes.
I would have returned it in a heartbeat except for the reason I sought it out. Unlike most drives, it has a tiny read-only write protect dip switch on the side that shields the contents of the drive from malware infection. This feature is not mentioned in the amazon description but does appear on the manufacturer's web site. Access to the switch is recessed and very small. You cannot flip the switch with your fingernail, you must use something like the metal tip of a mechanical pencil to move it. Most users will probably not even notice the switch is there. The Kanguru FlashBlu 2 is another example of a flash drive with a write-protect switch, but it is a bit more expensive.

I owned the 1GB version of this for a long time and purchased the 4GB version for my partner. He, like I, has been thrilled with the Caribeener clip as we both keep it on our key rings at all times now. So there's never a time when we are without the ability to store files.
I keep my passwords on mine, so no matter where I am, I have access to them. (It is encrypted.) But something like PortableApps will make this even more useful.
No downsides that I've found.

Great product, with minor design flaw
This is a great product and is quite fast. The write protect switch changes the way the device is recognized and will show different available options when in the different modes. Read more

Perfect for your key chain
I bought this because I have been looking for a flash drive that I can leave on my key chain and I always have it. Usually with as much as I throw my keys around, the drives break. Read more

Works perfectly
Others have complained it was too small, so I was a little worried. I found it to be the perfect size, the drive itself is 2" long. The rubber case is 3" long. Read more
