worked fine after they sent me replacements ... first ones were too slow ... second ones were very good... thanks

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.

This drive was purchased at what I thought was a bargain price, but it is so slow, FREE would be overpriced. It is so slow it's almost useless on large files. It takes much longer than any of my flash cards or pen drives. Don't waste your money.

I picked this drive up at a bargain, but due to how slow it is, I still didn't even come close to getting my money's worth. The drive is barely acceptable if you don't need to write new files very often, but I still suggest searching for another brand.
