This thing is like a roach motel -- files can check in, but they cannot "check out." I moved some files onto it, thankfully none of them absolutely vital to my life. But I cannot get them to open or to move to another location. To add insult to injury, the drive is horribly slow, so it takes forever to tell me that it cannot do something because of drive errors. If I could give this thing a 0 or negative five rating, I would.

I bought a two-pack at a reasonable price from Sam's Club. $14 for 4 total GB from a recognized manufacturer seemed like a good deal. Then I tried filling one of them, with common mp3s. It hit a wall at about 1/4 capacity, the error message indicating additional files could not be copied, from anywhere.

I tried everything I could think of, from restarting my computer to formatting the drive and trying again. This hunk of junk was definitely going back to the store, but what about the other one in the package? Maybe it would work. No. It turned out they were identical in appearance and disappointing performance.

Its not the rolls royce of flash drives but, it does work! Its fine for saving school work that I take back and forth from work to school to the library. Yeah its slow but it works and its cheap!
