I bought two of these about a month ago. So far they've held up remarkably!
Pros:
- Price is on point. Comparable to other flash drives in price. Very reasonable and probably on the cheaper side of what I had planned to spend on a flash drive.
- Construction exceeded what I had expected! Very durable and no cap to lose. See below.
- They're tiny. Very unobtrusive on my keyring. They don't get in the way at all.
Cons:
- None yet!
Side notes:
The read/write speed is nominal. For me this was not a con. It performs as well as I had expected. If you're looking for something blazing fast, I'd consider another drive with faster read/write speeds (ideally look at USB 3.0 or eSATA).
A note about the physical construction of these:
This is the primary point of my review. These things seem very durable. When I bought these, this was my primary concern. I needed something I could keep on my keychain, which sees a lot of abuse (regularly thrown onto the floor, dropped, misplaced, I think I stepped on them after attaching these flash drives). They're as strong as they were the day they arrived. I wouldn't consider it to be a military-grade piece of equipment as far as the physical characteristics, but it's definitely on the heavy duty side. I expect them to last a while. I'm going to keep an eye on them for wear and tear as I continue to abuse them. I'll update my review if things change.
* The exterior is all metal and integrated into one unibody form. Looks neat and simple.
* No external moving parts here. No cap to lose, nothing to break. Just plug it in.
* They're small. I don't notice them on a keyring until I need them.
Summary/TL;DR:
5/5. These do everything I need them to and they're durable.
