This is by far the best USB flash drive I have used in a long time. The read/write speed is amazingly fast compared to your normal consumer level drive.

It is a little on the bigger side, but not excessive in any means. It also does not block any of your other USB ports :).

I have many usb flash drives, but I need really fast one to use it as hard disk. I started to search from 16GB upto 64GB. But those big capacity ones have slow speed especially for lots of small file writing. I ended up choosing this one. This is really fast. You can't compare this to the others with speed. I would have give it 5 stars if the housing is a little thinner. It's hard to insert this to my macbook air. I have to push it hard to connect to air because there are gaps between usb socket and housing. It feels like that one day I may break the usb part of my air.

Sleek design with retracting connector. The main down side is the little blue LED light on the side that shows that the device has successfully connected, or is transmitting or receiving data, ALWAYS seems to be on the wrong side, where it cannot be easily seen.
