5.0 out of 5 stars What was the first reviewer talking about?, July 15, 2007
This review is from: Sony MicroVault Plus USB 2.0 Flash Drive 2GB with Virtual Expander USM2GJ (Personal Computers)
My brother brought this drive over my house a few days ago and said it was on sale at circuit city for $20. I went there saturday and caught the last day of the sale. Lucky me! The drive performs as advertised and transfers FAST. I think the first reviewer was using a USB 1.0 port instead of 2.0 port...or something like that as I filled up the drive with multiple files from multiple different folders from multiple different hard drives simultaneously (trying to make the process as slow as possible to test his/her claim) and still clocked in well under the 5 minute mark. Awesome design, awesome functionality, and the compression software gives you as much as 6GB of virtual space. I've tested it up to about 5.5GB so far with no file fidelity issues. Now that's saying something! Another quality Sony prouct. Too bad the sale is now over as $20 was really a steal.

5.0 out of 5 stars Slick Design, Fast and Convenient, July 9, 2007
By 
Vita Gamer (Manhattan, NY USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Sony MicroVault Plus USB 2.0 Flash Drive 2GB with Virtual Expander USM2GJ (Personal Computers)
I was initially a bit uneasy about the earlier reviewer's claim of slow transfer speeds but with a sale at Circuit City for $20 bucks, I figured I had nothing to lose by trying it out. My initial impression after opening the package was that the drive's plastic felt a bit flimsy but as long as you aren't going to be having an elephant stomping on this, I think you'll be fine. Transfer speeds are excellent; a 1gb file took about five minutes. A neat feature is that the drive was designed without a cap (easy to lose), rather, it has a retractable usb connector that slides out when in it is in use; this makes for a slick looking design. There is an opening for attachment to a keychain, unfortunately, it doesn't come with a thread or chain. Normally, I'd deduct a star for that (how cheap can they be?) but I have to give Sony credit for a better looking design over its competitors. Finally, since I tested this on a Mac, I wasn't able to test the virtual expander.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great flash drive, July 7, 2007
This review is from: Sony MicroVault Plus USB 2.0 Flash Drive 2GB with Virtual Expander USM2GJ (Personal Computers)
Sony microvault flash drive is a nice little memory drive. Speed is not slow; writing 5mb took only a couple of seconds. With virtual expander program that is loaded in the drive, it automatically compresses the data & allows the 2GB memory to store 4GB. The data decompresses when it is downloaded from the drive. The drive feels well made and solid with retractable USB connector. I am very satisfied with this drive!
