5.0 out of 5 stars Durable, sleek, cross-platform file storage, February 28, 2003

By	c--2 - See all my reviews

As a student I found this device to be extremely handy. If you are tired of broken jewel cases or bent floppy disks in your backpack, the durable Linksys USB Drive is just for you. If you use different computers between home, work and school, the small and lightweight Linksys USB drive travels with ease.

The main advantage of this device is that it works on multiple platforms. I've used in on a Mac iBook, Windows 2000 Pro and Windows 98. No drivers are required except for Windows 98. A CD-ROM with software is included but you can also access the drivers on the Linksys website if your workstation does not have a CD drive.

The box also contains a USB extension cord, so if your desktop computer does not have front USB access you do not have to constantly reach behind your computer to insert the drive.

Overall, I rate this product highly. I recommend it to students and geeks alike!

Update: Still working as of June 2004 - no drivers required for Windows XP.

5.0 out of 5 stars Versatile!, August 4, 2003

By	R. Moroney "hackney1" (Indiana) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Bought this item in June and it has worked flawlessly. I swap files between Windows 2000 at work and Windows ME at home. The only issue with W2K is that I have to boot the computer with the USB disk installed in the port, or it won't be recognized. But then I can take it in and out as often as needed until I reboot. So I just have to plan ahead or face a shut down and startup.
There are no issues with ME, it just works. So much more convenient than burning CD's!
One minor complaint, the attachment to the case seems a bit weak, in other words, it comes out very easily. I'd never trust it around my neck.
Great product.

5.0 out of 5 stars Perfect, August 5, 2003

By	Andre S Duarte "asenna5" (Rio, Brazil) - See all my reviews

That's it! perfect... works as a peferct hard drive. You can carry anywhere you want and i have never had a problem. I was thinking whether was intersting to buy a palm top to carry my files or not. However. Why do you need a palm top? Everywhere you go you can find a computer. Just carry your usb key with you and you don't need anything else. Buy it!!!!
