I just got a jumpdrive trio a few weeks ago. I use it as a memory stick reader to transfer digital images and as a USB drive. Its great that it doesn't require drivers(Win2K/XP). All other memory stick readers I have used were much larger and required installing drivers. If you have a spare memory stick or MMC/SD card laying around, the jumpdrive is a great way to turn it into a USB drive for transferring files. Here are the transfer speeds I got using a 64MB Lexar memory stick.
- Used a 46MB Test File
USB 1.1 Port: 65 sec to write, 55 sec to read
USB 2.0 Port: 45 sec to write, 45 sec to read
From what I understand the memory stick media is likely limiting the speed. Pairing the jumpdrive with fast MMC or SD cards will likely show faster results.
The only concern I have with this device is that the plastic body and hinge feel somewhat fragile.

4.0 out of 5 stars it works, August 13, 2003

I use this device with memory stick from my Sony digital camera. It works as advertised -- no hassels, nothing. I didn't give it 5-star for two reasons:
1) the plastic casing is cheap and fragile
2) the size of the casing make it difficult to plug into some USB ports if there is another port (USB, mouse, keyboard, whatever) near by.

If you're like me, and you have a PDA and/or Digital camera that uses securedigital cards, you can't live without this thing!

HotSyncing music and movies with Palm software can literally take HOURS if you do it with your palm. However, if you build up your MP3 playlist or add a movie to your SD card using this little drive, it goes SO FAST!

With this I am able to bypass my digital camera's software, my palm's software and get out the door faster.

The best use I have had for it so far - downloading something at school on a faster connection than I have home, then carrying it home with me that night. It's much faster (and cheaper) than burning CDs or emailing a file to yourself! It's small size is perfect for my purse, and even though it's light, it's very durable!

5 stars from me!
