Customer Reviews of Memorex 256MB USB Travel Drive
Very Durable This drive is very durable, but the keyring loop is not. The loop that the keyring is attached to (on the cap) broke after two weeks of use. I have had the 128MB model of this drive for over a year and my mother just stepped on it last night, breaking the case apart. It still functioned properly long enough for me to get all of the data off of it. It has fast data transfers, even on USB 1.1 (backwards compatable from USB 2.0)
Caveat Emptor
I have owned this jump drive since March 6. These are my observations:

>The design of the drive is good. It comes with a lanyard to which the cap is securely tethered, so I can wear the drive around my neck. The tether on the cap is easy to remove and replace, enabling me to remove the jump drive from the lanyard without having to take off the lanyard. The cap fits securely on the drive. The drive itself is flat, which makes it possible for me to have two of these plugged into columnar USB ports at once, and it's got that great non-skid pad in the center of it on either side so I can grab it securely to disconnect it from my USB port. I haven't had any data corruption so far. And, I saved a few tracks from some CDs in my library to a folder on the drive, and now when I plug it into my workstation, Windows Media automatically initiates the playlist. Very cool.

>The drive can be formatted, so you can change the "traveldrive" moniker to something more appropriate. Be sure to format the drive before you save any files to it.

>Conversely, the advertised storage capacity for the drive is 256MB, but my drive has only a 240MB capacity. A difference of 15MB is substantial, folks; for my money, this constitutes larceny. Additionally, saving a file to the drive is time-consuming. For advanced technology, this is pretty slow.

Very Problematic
Unlike the other USB drives that I own, this one is full of problems. It will not transfer files without corruption, even between two computers running XP and using USB 2.0 ports. I tried the same transfer using a different USB drive, and it worked fine. The problem is definitely with this particular drive, and I would not recommend wasting your money.
