Excellent Buy
This flash drive is compact and powerful. With USB 2.0 technology, it is also fast. With 32 GB of memory, the storage capacity is enormous. With a price under $15, the value is amazing. I used in-store pickup after ordering the flash drive online. Very convenient and no shipping!

Couldn't be happier
I do a lot of video editing for my daughter's high school basketball team, and I use flash drives as my working drives because they are a lot faster than working off the hard drive. Access can be a little slow at times, but usually that's because I have background processes (drive syncing TSRs, like SugarSync & DropBox, for example) that I have to remember to close. These drives are big enough to hold the raw video as well as the edited version, plus enough room to encode the files that I need to burn a DVD (I set up a folder on the drive for the DVD burning software to use as its temp/working directory), and to create an ISO image so I can burn multiple copies of my DVDs.
As one other reviewer noted, if you are working with files that are bigger than 4GB, you have to reformat the drive as NTFS, but using the drive as NTFS decreases the life of the drive, so it is not recommended. When I have files > 4GB, then I just work with them off the hard drive.
Nice slim design. I like the caps that cover the connector, they snap on the back end so you don't lose them while the drives are plugged in. The red LED is very helpful, too, when determining if the drive is being read or written to. I've bought four of the 32GB drives so far, as well as one 16GB, and I haven't had problems with any of them.

Good for the money
It is small and works great to store all of my music for my car. I just plugged it in and away I went! For my use it was the perfect buy....so far!

easy purchase, wrong choice
I bought this to use as a back-up / readyboost for my computer but when I tried to use it as such. I am told that this device cannot perform that function.
