I love the form factor - install it, leave it, and it's there when you need it.
Raised rating from 4 to 5 stars on July 16.
Fast sequential speeds -
July 6, 2011-Entire card FAT32
Test finished without errors.
Writing speed: 6.03 MByte/s
Reading speed: 10.5 MByte/s
July 6, 2011-Entire card NTFS
Test finished without errors.
Writing speed: 6.25 MByte/s
Reading speed: 10.7 MByte/s
July 16, 2011-Entire card exFAT
Test finished without errors.
Writing speed: 6.55 MByte/s
Reading speed: 11.3 MByte/s
Random speeds were not fast enough for Readyboost until I formatted it to exFAT.
This is a nice product. Verbatim could improve it by using a faster chip like they use in their Tuff n Tiny. I would also like to see a 32GB version.
What a super little gift this would be!

I wanted a USB flash drive that I could use as ReadyBoost on my Win 7 laptop. I have a Scandisk 8GB USB drive that works well with ReadyBoost, but it gets on the way and had to be unplugged before the laptop was placed in the computer bag. This Verbatim USB 2.0 Flash Drive is an excellent choice as it doesn't get on the way, even when the laptop is stored in the computer bag.
Note that it's formatted as FAT32 from the manufacture. If you want to use it as ReadyBoost simply perform a "quick" format to NTFS.

This review is for the 16Gb version.
I purchased this to run a couple flavors of live Linux on my netbook. It is very small and fits well, not difficult to remove and doesn't snag on anything. That's where the good part ends though.
The transfer rates are horrible on this memory. Using Linux Mint 10 and transferring a 1.1 Gb iso file of Debian rates were as follows.
Write speeds when formated as FAT32 started out at 8.9 MB/s and dropped to 5.9 by the end of the transfer. When formated as Ext3 it started out at 8.5 MB/s and dropped off to 4.5 by the end.
Read speeds were 10.0 - 10.3 for FAT32 and Ext3
Other USB drives were as follows:
Write speeds for the Patriot XT 16Gb started at 16.9 and fell to 12.1 in FAT32 and about the same for Ext3 give or take .1
Read speeds on the Patriot were 28.3 - 28.8 as FAT32 and about the same for Ext3 again.
All my other USB keys (several Sandisk and PNY) fell somewhere in the middle to low end of the spread.
I knew that the speeds were not going to be anywhere near the Patriot speeds, but I certainly expected better from Verbatim. It's possible that this could be bad memory, I'm not sure. Data retention is fine, never a crash or any loss at all, the speed just sucks. Since I bought this to run an operating system, it needs to be faster than what it is. This item will be going back.

It died.
At first this was a great tool, but then after about 14 months it just stopped working and took my data with it. Much sadness. :-(

Boots a broken dell mini 9 just fine
I have a typical dell mini 9 with fried SSD. This was a low-cost and unobtrusive USB drive that I was able to use as a simple boot device for some Linux work.

Works Perfectly
Using as a ReadyBoost for an aging Dell laptop. Worked perfectly out of the package. Be prepared to spend some time getting it out of the packaging, though.

The perfect ReadyBoost drive
