| Like the drive. It does what its made to do. I enjoy the intergrated light attached to the drive which blinks when you are accessing it. It lets you know its working. It includes a lanyard & a cap. The only downside is you have to be careful not to lose the included cap......put it in a safe place when using the drive. |

| This is not a U3 drive. Too slow and it comes with a Portable Vault Software to encode the data. I think that i lose my money. |

| I've owned this product (the real U3 version) before. This mini drive and U3 apps, including the password protection are great. I can attest to that having recently lost my mini drive. I can't imagine someone getting their hands on my data. Having owned the product before I was disappointed when I ordered and received the regular version of the drive and not the U3 drive I ordered. Like the previous reviewer I have returned the product and I'm waiting for the seller to correct what I am assuming is an honest mistake. I will update and comment further on the return in the event the seller does not handle this situation. |

| "Best USB drive on the market" | 2007-09-12 |

USB drive's small size and convenient connection make them a breeze to use but the small size also makes them easy to misplace...which can spell disaster considering how much data you can store on one. This drive is one of the best I've seen because it takes away one of those risks with the best implementation of security that I've used on a USB drive. I rate it a top choice because of the easy-to-use, no-brainer security feature called "U3".
I've owned USB drives with built-in biometrics (fingerprint scanner) and other encryption options, though they might seem like slick solutions, in reality they were cumbersome and unreliable. What makes this drive special is its size and the U3 software. U3 is one of the first applications designed to autolaunch without double-clicking on a program contained on the USB drive. The drive has 2 partitions, one contains the bootable U3 software partition and the other is for data storage. I've had some clients confused by the two partions, but once you understand the config you will have no problems determining where to store your data (it won't let you store any data to the U3 partition so it will be real obvious which partition is for data storage). After the initial password setup you can just pop the drive into any PC and you are instantly presented with a password prompt on the screen, type your password to unencrypt the drive and off you go!

| It always kind of amazes me when people give a product a bad review because they didn't understand what they were buying. The description and packaging for this clearly states that it comes with the U3 technology and a 30 second Google search will tell you what U3 is all about. Memorex makes the very same drive without U3, why didn't you buy that? Anyway I find the U3 software great, it allow me to password protect the entire drives contents and transport applications with me for use on any PC. I have my Trillian IM client, Mozilla Thunderbird mail client and Firefox browser all running from the stick so when I get to work I have all my personal stuff and when I leave I take it all with me leaving nothing behind. I've used a 2GB version of this for over a year and just upgrade to this 4GB version and couldn't be happier. If you don't want or need the U3 features don't buy this product, get the regular 4GB version. |

| Took out the U3 right away - I am not a fan. The drive is small and transfer rates were much faster that a 1GB cheap USB drive that I had purchased from MicroCenter. |

There are a ton of fake USB drives out there. This is not a fake, but it's also not a U3 device. Memorex makes two versions (not interchangeable) that look very similar. The U3 version is 32509383 this one is 32509389. This drive is incredibly SLOW as well! Think of it as a big floppy.
U3 is an incredibly useful feature with a little research you can install entire applications and then run them from another PC without installing anything on the 2nd PC. Great tool for techs!
I'm returning this device for the reasons stated. I'll consider this event an honest mistake by the seller (provided I get a refund without problems) I bought a U3 elsewhere already and chose a SanDisk because of the speed problem.
I may comment more on the return if there are any problems!

This 4GB drive is tiny and a bargain compared to other brands. However it is not without a few flaws.
The cap, which is supposed to clip onto the back of the drive when in use, is loose and falls off when you clip it on the back. I just threw away the cap.
The drive also comes with "U3" software. Why do computer peripheral manufacturers always want to cram useless software onto our systems? As a Mac user I don't want or need "U3" so I had to visit a special web site [...] and find a Windows computer to remove it. You can't just ignore the software because it makes the drive appear like two drives on your desktop -- the regular flash drive and a "fake" CD-ROM drive with a Windows setup program. Once the U3 software is removed, the drive works just fine. |
