5.0 out of 5 stars Great Flash Drive, May 21, 2006

This review is from: Memorex 2GB USB 2.0 Mini Travel Drive (32509373) (Personal Computers)

I really like my U3 Travel Drive. I use it everyday at work. I had a 1Gb U3 Drive and found I used it so much I upgraded to the 2Gb.

I use my drive on at least 6 different computers. I can plug it in to any computer and use it and the applications I have on it without rebooting as someone said in another review. I am using it right now with Firefox, RoboForm, Thunderbird, Migo and Trillian all running off the U3 Drive. I have seen the reboot message and have ignored it and everything works fine. As for someone saying that the drive will not disconnect correctly, I have found that it disconnects better than other flash drives I have owned.

I would recommend this U3 Mini Travel Drive to anyone who wants to prevent personal information from being left on the host computer.

I have bought this drive and tried it on three PC's with WIN XP and non of them required to reboot as described by the other review.
The only issue that I have with this drive is the write speed.
It's realy noticable when you try to save a large file like 300mb to the drive .

5.0 out of 5 stars To U3 or not U3:, December 27, 2007

This is not a review of the Memorex Travel Drive itself but to provide some general information about U3 flash drives. U3 is something that you either love or hate. The U3 LaunchPad is an application manager (software) that is installed on U3 drives. It allows you to password protect your files on the flash drive as well as run certain applications from the drive. U3 works only with Windows and the downside is that not all versions of U3 LauchPad work with all versions of Windows. Some manufacturers (such as Memorex and SanDisk) ship the same flash drives in 2 versions, i.e. with and without U3. The non-U3 version of the same Memorex Mini TravelDrive is Part No: 32509379. As a consumer you'll have to read the package description carefully.

For those who are about ready to throw away their U3 drives, there is a simple solution. To use the flash drive as a storage device: re-format it to FAT32 to use with Windows, Mac OS or Linux. Otherwise format the drive to NTFS to use it exclusively with Windows 2000, XP or Vista. NTFS gives better performance than FAT32, but sacrificing compatibility with non-Windows machines. Most if not all USB drives ship from the factory formatted to FAT32.
