Very impressive and easy to use.
I've never used a USB Flash Drive before, and didn't know a lot about them. However I had got so much written research and documents on my computer for my genealogy projects that I was becoming ever more aware of losing all of it if my computer crashed. Not having a CD burner I thought I'd try the Flash Drive approach.

After reading the reviews here I chose this exact item, and I was not disappointed. I'm not good with technical computer stuff, but I was able to use this product straight away. My slightly old and crusty computer immediately recognized it, and I was all set to copy files over to it. The transfer of some of my larger files was completed in seconds.

The item definitely feels rugged and looks capable of enduring tough treatment. The item comes with a handy lanyard and a small USB cable extension. I'm 100% happy with this item and would buy other items made by this manufacturer in the future.

Fast/Reliable
Used countless times over the last couple of months and faced no issues despite it's rapid read/write speeds. It feels solid and looks the business.

Superb!
Very nice bit of kit. Super tactile rubber housing. Costs more but you get what you pay for.

WOW!
WOW, this is the best USB memory stick ive ever had, and trust me ive got through quite a few in the past five years...

I'm a Sixth Form student and its 8GB capacity is perfect for storing and transporting all of my work around, ranging from photoshop files to powerpoint 2007 documents. Its uberfast transfer rate means work can be loaded and saved much quicker than with conventional memory sticks. And its rubber outer casing is a fantastic design inovation, no more brakages at the bottom of my bag or under my books. The cap is rubberised as well and although there is no true catch to secure it the rubbers tight grip keeps it on no matter what.

Its also supplied with a male to female USB cable incase you have to use an older maching where the designers obviously hadnt thought about people using USB memory sticks...

Oh and it looks cool aswell, with the red and the black, overall 5/5* :)

Fast, tough, good capacity
Although the product is now more expensive than when I bought it just a week ago (paid £17.99) I think it still represents value for money. It has a tough rubbery exterior, with a rubber cap. There is a lug for a lanyard too.
It's quicker than any other USB stick I've used with XP, and with Vista it's simply awesome.

There are of course cheaper and smaller products available, but if you want something tougher that you can still feel in your pocket, or want to take a spot of wear and tear in bags or cases, this is the product for you.
