Buyer Reviews :
This device is a no frills, high-value peripheral that you can literally plug in and use to transport files or extend your file system.
Unlike some other USB flash memory devices that come with password protection and additional utilities, this one is simply storage with no features beyond that. The value stems from the cost, which is among the least expensive of the devices I considered. One unique feature that I especially like is that it does not require drivers for Windows 98 - all other USB flash drives I considered required them. ALthough I haven't tested it, the manufacturer claims that it is compatible with all versions of Windows from 98 to XP, and also for the Mac OS.
I initially purchased mine to use for transporting files, but found that the best use (for me) was to use it as file system extension for my e-mail client. This works remarkably well for me because I use both an IBM ThinkPad and a Sony Viao laptop (both of which are running Windows 98 SE) and synchronizing e-mail between the two machines is a chore. I now have my e-mail client configured to store my e-mail on the flash drive, and plug the flash drive into whichever of the laptops I happen to be using at the time. This alone makes the flashdrive invaluable.
Note that on some systems with side-by-side USB ports that the flashdrive may prevent you from using the other port because of its width. My ThinkPad has a port in the rear and one on the right side, so that didn't pose problems, but the Sony laptop's USB ports are close together and when the flashdrive is plugged I couldn't squeeze the connector for my mouse into the adjacent port - I solved this by purchasing a mini-USB hub that is powered by the USB port, but this is something you need to know before purchasing this particular flashdrive.
Despite that minor problem I am pleased with the device and am especially happy that I now have a solution to the e-mail synchronization problem that has plagued me for years.
