4.0 out of 5 stars Great performance, minor exterior flaws, May 8, 2009

By	Stanislav Gatev "Stan Gatev" (North Chelmsford, MA United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

So far so good. I use this stick to carry around virtual machine images, around 6 GB. FAT32 does not support files of this size so I formatted it with NTFS (to format a flash stick with NTFS under Windows, go to Device Manager, double-click on the device, select Policies, and select 'Optimize for Performance'; NTFS will now appear as an option for file system when formatting it). Transfer speeds are steady around 30 MB/s for reading and 10 MB/s for writing. The rubber casing is nice however the soft rubber attracts lint and after being in my pocket for awhile the stick has a lint coat that is hard to clean. I would also prefer a cap-less design with the USB connector extending when pushed out. The capacity, speed, and price of this stick make it a very good choice IMO.

This is a nice 8GB drive that I've used with my USB car stereo for the last 4 months. Fast transfer rates, good price and rugged design, what more could you want? Looks pretty cool too.
