I have purchased three of these drives from my local RS, and had to return one of them, and kept one that doesn't really work. The first one I bought worked fine, for about 3 months (I was using it as a Readyboost drive) then it stopped being recognized by Vista. The second and third drives I bought are doing the strangest thing. The red light on the 2nd & 3rd drive do NOT just flash off and on, it 'dims' most of the time and does not hold data. The first one I purchased, the red light flashed very quickly all the time (when in use) and readyboost worked well. I saw an improvement in my system responsiveness, and booting Vista was quicker. However, after just three months the first drive stopped working for Readyboost well, so I bought my 2nd. When I put in the second on, I noticed that it was not flashing as fast, and the red light would 'dim' a lot instead of flashing. I took it back, got another, and it did the same thing. [...] Buyer beware!!!

I'll admit that the software it has can be annoying but it is completely removable with the uninstaller provided on the sandisk website. Other than that, I love the retractable usb plug, I carry this on my keychain, and no lint problems after over a year. I always blow into it just in case before I plug it in though.

The retractabke connector stops any chance of loosing detachable covers used by other designs.
By the way one of these got left in my blue jeans and went thru a WASHING Machine CYCLE! Nokidding! It worked perfectly after a 5 min stint hanging in front of a fan to dry it out!
I am seriously impressed (and thnakful for not loosing my data!).

I use this on a daily basis to transfer all of my text documents back and forth. Very useful and small. Works like a little blade with no caps to lose. I like this style so much I have given it as gifts to friends and family. The only con is the U3 software, I dont need it or want it, so I uninstalled it.

Most, if not all other brands have a removable cover for the end. This brand simply has the connection slide in and out, but it is not protected from dirt etc if carried in the pocket. Either every other brand in inferior to this one or the brand is inferior to all others.

Great for backup, easy to manage, easy to carry
