This review is from: SimpleTech 1GB Bonzai Xpress USB 2.0 Embedded Flash Drive ( STI-UFDBXA/1GB ) (Personal Computers)

Design-wise it's a nice looking flash drive, but performance-wise I can't believe this is a USB 2.0 device. Trying to run any type of portable application from it is plain painful. Don't get this if you're thinking of using it for either portable applications or as a Readyboost drive with Vista. Vista says it's not compatible Readyboost when it tested it.

Edit: I contacted SimpleTech and they replaced the drive. The new one is much faster.

This drive has already failed twice during the first few months I have owned it (unreadable). I had to reformat it, losing all data on the drive. Coupling this with the extremely slow write times, even on small files, makes this a drive to avoid.
