I've had several of these drives, and they work well. But if you carry it in your pocket with your keys, it will soon look like crap as the silver paint comes off. On one of mine, the write-protect switch became intermittent, and finally wouldn't allow the drive to be written to. The LED should be on the end so that it can be seen regardless of the PC's socket orientation. Finally, if you use the key ring to secure it to a belt loop or something, if the two parts become separated, all you're left with is the cap!I am a teacher and I bought this drive to use to take files back and forth between my home computer and the three classrooms that I teach in. The biggest problem that I have with it is due to it's physical size. I have to move all of the computers that I plug it in so that I can plug it in a USB port on the back. It doesn't fit in many ports on the front because of it's fat body.Otherwise I have had very few problems with this drive. I lost all of the information contained one it one time, but as with any type of media, you always want to have your data backed up in at least two places, so I was able to recover it and only lost 6 or 7 files.On the super plus side, I accidently left it in my pants pocket one day and my wife washed the pants before I could find it. Well, surprised to say... it is still working over 2 months later!!! So it's a very hardy little drive.I am very dissapointed with this product. After just one week the key ring loop broke and I could no longer keep it one my keychain. A few weeks later all the data on it was lost and I still cannot figure out why. After saving a couple of papers on it I tried to open and print my papers and got a message saying that the disk was not formatted and I have never been able to retrieve the data.It has been working perfectly for me for a long time. Never had a problem with it.
