Serviceable but bulky - Thomas Kaneko, Nov 16, 2009

As a USB flash drive it works well and has a massive capacity for a good price. It won't win any design awards, but if all you want is storage, it gets the job done. The plastic construction feels a little flimsy and the cap can be a little difficult to remove. It does snap on very securely, though; you won't ever worry about it falling off. The main issues with the design are that it's wider and slightly thicker than most USB drives, so if you have two USB ports side by side, it may block access to one. On my laptop, one of the USB ports is arranged vertically, and this drive sticks out below the bottom of the laptop when I use that port. The other niggling issue is that there's no way to secure the cap when it's off, so it's easy to use. Why flash drives aren't all designed so the cap can be stored on the other end when not over the plug is beyond me.

32 GB Flash Drive - stootz, Oct 07, 2009

This drive is VERY Slow. Writing takes 10 minutes to write a 600MB file and the read speed is not much better. I have several flash drives-4gb 8gb and 2 16gb. These are all roughly this same read write speed. Way faster than this one, so I dont think the capacity of 32gb is the reason for the poor performance. Also its very wide making it impossible to use where the usb ports are close together. I would not recommend this one

Best USB flash drive price/GB - John Morrison, Sep 22, 2009

At $60, this is a very good deal if you need portable storage or a dedicated backup drive. (No, you won't fit your entire system onto it... but then, you don't need to. Unless you're a graphic designer or in a similar field, 32 GB will be more than enough storage for essential files.) That's what made me purchase it, and I don't regret it. This will more than hold my backups with room for growth, and all at a price that's lower than using a handful of smaller-capacity flash drives.

The unit is nice enough looking, but has a few odd quirks. Most importantly, it's VERY wide, twice as wide as most other flash drives. If you're plugging it into a tightly packed back panel, you may block another USB port. I imagine that most people will plug it into their front interface ports, which are often more generously spaced. It is, however, the biggest drawback of this drive, and one which you should be aware of before you wind up having to rearrange your whole USB network.

The drive comes with a cap which fits VERY tightly; it has an inset loop for a cord but no cord nor is there a place on the drive body for one. It also can't snap on the back side of the drive. Expect to lose the cap. It's also smooth plastic, which makes it more difficult to extract than a rubberized or patterned case. These are definitely minor points.

Oh, and I should mention that the memory is slow. Slower than other USB flash drives I've owned. I moved 5.15 GB of data from my old backup drive to this one, and between the two USB thumb drives it took four hours. Transfers from a motor HD are faster, of course, but you aren't going to get any ReadyBoost out of this device. Again, though, this is a minor point; if you're buying a USB flash drive expecting to get blazing speed, you need to learn something about the products.

So, make sure you know what you're getting: A very inexpensive large storage unit that's larger than most. I recommend it highly!
