5.0 out of 5 stars Pretty and fast!, August 21, 2009

I like this "clicker" design - the outer sheath is spring-loaded and will un/cover the USB port when you depress the top, just like a "clicker" pen. Couple things:

**** I abhor the preloaded software, it decreases the speed. So the first thing I did was formatting the drive to FAT-32 so that it would be compatible to both Mac & Windows. Final capacity is 15 GB.****

1. Subjectively, batch transfer of small files takes about 1/2 time on this one compared to the Sandisk Cruzer 4 GB.
2. The black sheath is plastic. I had wished it to be brushed metal (Ti would have been awesome).
3. There is a place to hook up a lanyard if you want to.
4. After a month of heavy use, it beginning to feel a tad flimsy but still completely functional.

Very easy to use. Capacity is right at 14.9 gigs formatted to fat32. My only concern was that the little piece of plastic that hold the lanyard strap broke off very easily.

I like it for 3 reasons: 1) small size - fits in any USB slot even when crowded by other devices - especially appreciated on laptops where the USB slots are awfully close together 2) no cap to lose 3) good capacity.

Cons: a) flimsy plastic cover b) my coworker keeps taking it home, I guess because he likes it so much ;-)
