Summary: Small and cheap USB flash has drawbacks
Comment: This thing takes about 10 mins+ to copy a 100meg folder of 200kb files! When you first open up the drive it takes a long time to load the directory structure. The manufacturer claims that this drive can write at 3.5mb/sec (very slow for USB 2.0) -- it might peak at that speed for moving large files (like a movie) but the performance drops a lot for smaller files (like photos).
If you are planning on getting one of these, it is a tiny little archive that you can stuff into your change pouch or wallet. I use it to store little Excel and Powerpoint files or some PDFs. I would not use this to share photo albums or home videos, it's much too slow for that.

Summary: Great value and size, got runaround from seller and manufacturer though.
Comment: Pros:
Great product, fits on my keychain nicely. Awesome capacity for its size, when I pull it out of my pocket people ask me what it is, and don't believe that it holds 4gb. I have purchased several of these since they're so cheap.
Cons:
Small and easy to lose.
Slow write speeds, even with the readyboost version.
One of mine broke, I contacted the seller via phone and was told that they didn't know what product I was talking about and that I should contact the manufacturer, who in turn told me to contact the seller. I pretty much just gave up after that, didn't want to deal with the runaround on a $15 flash drive.

Summary: Works for me
Comment: I've only had it a month, but it fits snugly in my wallet, and works great. It's a little slow, but for the simple data transfers I do for school it's perfect.

Summary: Amazing
Comment: This is a very thin and usual device. I recommend it. I usually put in my wallet, because it is thin as a coin.

Summary: Great product at great price
Comment: I bought the 1st one of 1GB capacity, used it for several months and then gave it to someone. Then, I bought 4 of 2GB capacity for me, my friend and for my children. They are all working fine for the last one year or more. In fact, I bought one of 2 GB, another brand, before kingmax's 2GB, and it did not work at all, and I had to return it to OfficeMax.
I just wonder that these days we can't wait a few 'seconds' extra for a file transfer. Are we really so busy or so much in a hurry? Probably, people do not know that in 'just' mid 80s a 30MB hard drive was a big drive. We just can't be satisfied with anything these days.
