I used this little guy last semester in Ecuador, and it was a lifesaver. Since I didn't have a computer, I had to write my papers in labs and internet cafes, and this USB drive was perfect for keeping my work with me at all times. Its small size allowed me to wear it on a necklace under my clothes to protect against theft.

A lot of other students used floppy disks, but the floppy disk drives in the internet cafes and even at the university would often ruin the disks forcing people to re-do their work.

Since returning to the states, I've used it mostly to share files between laptops and such while doing group work, carry install programs (web browser, AIM, etc), or to bring powerpoint presentations to class.

It comes with a keychain clip and a neckchain, three color covers (the USB plug swivels in and out of this cover) in blue, orange, and black, and a USB extension cable, presumably for connecting it to ports at the back of a desktop, that lights up bright blue when you plug it in (the USB drive itself also has an activity light unrelated to the ones in the cable).

Overall, a great product. Tiny, well styled, and easy to use.

I've had mine for almost a year and use it with KeyPass to carry my passwords(encrypted, of course) everywhere I go. I wore out the first cover, but have 2 left.

My only annoyance is the keychain, as the drive always falls off it. I just keep the thing in my pocket but I'm worried it will get lost in the wash. It hasn't yet, but I back it up to my network often.
