«Not as good as it seems»
I have to agree with many of the reviews here. After having tried many different USB flash memories, I have to say this one comes short of what I expected. I can name a few disappointing things:
- bulky design
- may be water resistant but it easily bent from the adapter and died, so it's not so rugged after all
- compared to other flash memories it has SLOW performance, specially when transfering many small files. the slowest I've ever tried.
- cap comes off easily

«USB Connector Falls Off»
I bought this particular drive (4 gig version, back when the price was higher) because it appeared to have a solid build and I liked the soft, "easy grip" exterior. The drive worked fine, but after about 6 months of light use and careful handling, the USB connector came loose and fell off. I tried to reseat it, but no go.
Also, I think all such drives ought to have a capless design, or at least have the cap fit the end, like a pen cap does. I've also seen some that are tied to the device. A cap is just too easy to lose. However, I must admit--leaving the cap in a visible location helped me to not forget and leave the drive in my school computer.

«As advertised»
Got this in the mail, plugged it in, and it works. It does create a window in WinXP that says I could get faster service if I plugged into a USB 2.0 port...but my computer doesn't have one. I haven't dropped it in anything wet to test the waterproof claim. Of course, I assume that claim is only valid if the rubber cap is over the business end!!
