1 out of 5 eggsSmall, soft, rubberish, but SLOW

Pros: Small, nice color, cheap, LED on the drive to show activity

Cons: It's really slow. Moving a file over the drive gets an average speed of 4MB/s. I was using a dock earlier and that got at least 20MB/s.

Other Thoughts: Buy it if it's REALLY cheap only

1 out of 5 eggs

Pros: size and price

Cons: having to pay shipping to get repaired / replaced

Other Thoughts: I purchased 2 of these drives 5/28/2012. Both drives failed. Worked with tech support they wanted me to return the drive at my cost. I never had this many problems with any other brand drive. Purchased 2 new Kingston drives. No problems with the new Kingston drives.

1 out of 5 eggsSlowest Flash Drive I've Owned

Pros: Small. Perfect size/shape for a dedicated server OS that rarely gets removed.

Cons: Painfully slow.

Other Thoughts: I bought this drive with the idea that it would be faster than some old USB Flash Drives I have lying around. But, it has turned out to be the slowest of them all. Also freezes sometimes while booting very light-weight NAS OS.

5 out of 5 eggsGood Product

Pros: Least costly hard drive on Newegg
Very impressive for price

Cons: Silicone casing does pull right off

Other Thoughts: It would be nice if the casing was glued on or fastened somehow to the metal flash drive but it wasn't just falling off. You actually have to fiddle with it to cause it to come off completely.

5 out of 5 eggsVery Durable

Pros: Rubber Casing seems to protect the data extremely well
Small size makes for easy storage
Hole for tying drive to lanyard or some other string to avoid losing it

Cons: Rubber cap is really fun to mess with and i'm afraid it might break before the drive does
Cap can't be placed on the backside of the flashdrive, at least, not without stretching the rubber cap.

Other Thoughts: I bought this for my mother, who teaches English as a second language, and uses it to carry her documents and other stuff. I am the first person she comes to when she has issues, and I have not heard a single complaint about the drive, which means it is working great.

5 out of 5 eggsWashing instructions

Pros: Machine warm warm. High spin speed. Tumble dry low heat for one hour. It still works!! And has the data on it and whatnot.

Cons: The rubber is a bit too grippy in my pocket. I know I'm going to lose the cap sooner or later; it's inevitable.

5 out of 5 eggsMoney well spent

Pros: Its small, fast (enough), does exactly what its suppose to do, and is easy to remove. I own two and have used the first one primarily as a custom windows boot drive. (I don't even purchase/install optical drives anymore)

My 2nd one is for everyday minutia.

Cons: Completely trivial, but it would be nice if they came in additional colors other then orange.

1 out of 5 eggsDisappointed

Pros: Nice color

Cons: Does not keep information on drive. Most every time inserted into different PC, drive needs reformatting or file system correction and loses the files I put on it.

-Yes i tried formatting this Flash drive multiple times..

What a waste of $9

4 out of 5 eggsGood but...

Pros: -Small
-Portable
-Definitely water/shock resistant
-Cheap

Cons: -ONLY water/shock resistant if you have the cap
-cap is VERY easy to lose, especially if you key-chain this
-cap didn't fit snugly for me after a few months of use
-rubber body didn't fit well either: towards the end, trying to pull the thing out of a computer was hard as the body would slip off, and leave the key plugged in
