Built to crumble like a cookie.

Built to crumble like a cookie.
I just got the flash drive today and after opening the package and holding the drive in my hand i was surprised to see that it is made out of plastic and not metal like the Kingston Digital DataTraveler SE9. This device looks cool and works, but it's just not the build quality that I expected from Sony or for 8 dollars for that matter. We'll see how long it lasts in my backpack, if it fails its not a big deal since I use a Sony 32GB sd card for backups anyway. On the other end its flimsiness may be appealing to some; I recently dropped a Dell ultrabook and it landed right on the Kingston flash drive that was plugged into it. The all metal Kingston drive impaled my mobo, rendering a stick of ram useless and wiping out several ports on that side. The Sony drive will just break clean off like splitting a chocolate chip cookie, yum.

    I ordered 2 of these and decided to cut one of them open for a project I was working on. All I needed was the chip inside. So I cut along the two seams in the plastic very carefully until it was thin enough to snap apart. I was extremely pleased to discover compact flash memory chip inside was a SanDisk made chip. I tossed the plastic shell and my project worked with great success. I just thought I'd share my discovery with other Amazon shoppers who were considering buying this drive and wondered who made the flash memory inside. SanDisk is about as reliable as the sun rising. The drive I didn't slice open is serving me well. I wear it on a neck band on my neck every day when I was in school and now every day at work. I work in the IT field as a computer technician. The plastic connector doesn't bother me. It's not "flimsy" as others have falsely claimed. I cut through the plastic myself. I should know if it's flimsy or not. It's not. It holds up to use and abuse just fine. I've transfered 28 gig sized files to and from the drive before. The read and write speeds are pretty good for a drive of this size. Normally the larger drives like the older patriot rage drives have faster transfer speeds. But, they're so large they take up too much space in your USB hub or on the side of your computer. You need a flash drive to be under a certain size so it doesn't interfere with your cables or so you can plug several of them into 3 USB slots that are all right next to each other. This drive is the perfect compromise between size and speed. It's slim enough to fit into any cluster of USB plugs and devices. Excellent drive for the money. I can highly recommend it.

    I have been buying these sony micro flash drives for years and they are excellent. price, space available, easy to use and quality. I have had some for over 10 years and they still work fine. I keep mine stored in an empty yellow plastic medication pill bottle so they wont get lost while traveling however.

    I bought the 4GB version of this flash drive.

    THE GOOD:
    -It is VERY compact -- really tiny. I love that.
    -Unique, clean modern look
    -Inexpensive

    THE BAD:
    -No cap. Most flash drives come with a cap, or can be retracted into themselves for protection. I feel like I can't just toss this in my bag -- but instead have to be more careful with it (and back it up more frequently). The previous versions of the Sony MicroVault drives did have a little silicone sleeve... I wish they included that with this one.
    -Not easy to attach to a keychain. There is a rectangular hole at the end of the flash drive (you can see it in the photo), but it is TINY. So you can attach this drive to a keychain, but you won't be able to use a normal keychair ring, ball chain, etc. You'll need something thin (as thin as dental floss) to actually be able to fit through the hole.

    TIPS FOR USING:
    -This comes with 5 GB of free cloud storage on SugarSync, so that could be a bonus if you are looking for more online space.

    Overall, if you care about aesthetics, this is a great flash drive. It's best used for projects where you'll be able to mainly keep it in one place, because it is so small and unprotected. If you're a student and want a durable drive that won't get lost and you can just toss in your backpack, this probably isn't the best choice.

    When buying this, I bought it for my Macintosh as a Boot Camp Windows 7 boot USB drive. I'd previously read in a forum that this brand and type worked fine, and unfortunately it did not work well with Boot Camp.

    However, seeing as there was nothing advertised about boot camp and it works great as a thumbdrive otherwise, 5 stars.

    The size is a pro and a con; in one hand, it fits in my wallet and is with me wherever I go. In the other, it's easily lost if you're not careful.

    All around, great buy for the price and a good product. It didn't happen to work for boot camp, but that happened with other thumb drives and I got the same error, so it's definitely not the thumbdrive--I would definitely recommend this product.

    Couldn't resist when I saw the great price. Just got them and they seem to work well.

    That being said, the design is just a hair too wide. I can fit them in adjacent horizontal USB ports, but the little side flares contact and push them out at a slight angle. Nothing game breaking, but a potential source of faster wear and tear. Still awarding 5 stars since there is no issue with placement next to standard size USB plugs.

    Will update if any issues come up, but I anticipate continued satisfaction.

    I realized that I've had this USB drive for almost 5 years. Black Friday of 2014 I got this. So I don't know the failure rate of USB drives but I have a handful from then and even older ones (like less than a 1gb) that still work.

    I haven't really used this drive all that much over the years so I find it a bit strange that it's dying now. It'll be connected to a PC/Laptop and I may be watching a video off the drive and suddenly it'll disconnect. It'll disconnect in about 10-15min on it's own without any activity. None of my current drives do that. Doesn't seem to matter what device it's plugged into, it does it on all of them.

    It's not a big deal, and I got it at a decent price but I'd recommend other more established brands at this price point.

    Great keychain USB drive! Very durable and reliable. I lost and found my 8GB version of this drive after dropping it in a snowbank next to a busy road... Several months later, after the snow and salt had melted and washed away, I found the drive! I popped the internals out of the plastic housing and didn't see any corrosion, so I tried it in my computer and it still works good as new! Amazing considering our harsh & salty MN winters.

    I've been using this 32GB version for a few months and have been just as pleased. I only wish it included a keychain leash like the Kingston drives do.

    utilizzo molto queste chiavette per la loro affidabilità e prestazioni. I tempi di lettura e scrittura sono buoni , mai avuto problemi di perdita di dati.
    L'unica pecca che si può fare è sulla durata della plastica che a lungo andare si rovina nella zona dell'attacco alla porta usb del pc.
    Per il resto nulla da dire.

    SONY are the best USB Sticks on the market..they work great for both Mac and PC and you can drop field on top of each other from Vaio's and Macs and other computers no problem and it all just waits in line to load....never had one mess up any data and I have had so many novelty and cheap USB's in heart shapes, penknives and cheap larger capacity ones. I do not bother any more I just get the standard SONY ones....and these small ones for laptops in the side in use and look after them....... Class of their own these if you want to keep them for YEARS and have your data safe..... I use a few of these ONLY SONY....and I feel SAFE with my Data....or essays and research and my novel.....I would NOT use anything else..worth the extra money they also LOAD faster!! Just made better inside these things. A REAL quality item..Do not hesitate... SONY lead in this field...... never found any better over a decade of using these....... I will only buy SONY know for my own personal use...
