I did quiet a bit of research before purchasing this thumb drive and was very intrigued with its design and functionality based on what I've seen online. Purchasing it from Best Buy was a breeze and I was very pleased with the fact that Best Buy carried it (not in store but online, which worked fine with me). I mainly use the drive for backup purposes. Overall, I love this drive and could have easily given it an overall rating of five stars. Here are the pros and cons:
Pros:
-Great design and quality built
-Seems very rugged
-Nice packaging
-Small size (not too tiny and not huge either)
-Comes in multiple capacities up to 64 GB
-Very reasonably priced
Cons
-Comes only as USB 2.0 (works fine with USB 1.1 and USB 3.0, but the maximum transfer speed is that of USB 2.0)
-Was corrupted after a system crash and had to be reformatted (other drives could behave in the same way but this was a first for me). Luckily the data was recoverable.
Will certainly buy another as a backup to the one I have. If they make them in USB 3.0, this drive will certainly be one of the best on the market.
