Memorex 512 MB USB 2.0 Mini Travel Drive (32509353)

Did what it was supposed 2 do. For some reason I've noticed playing MP3's in my car stereo work best with Memorex or Kingston USB drives.

I don't know what the problem is, I have not experienced any of the problems others have stated. When I plugged the drive into my computer it set it self up & has worked fine, I've had it 4 almost a year now. I use it 2 transfer files (Indesign & PDF) from home 2 school, I have never had a problem.

I have two of the Memerox 512 mini drives & also a SanDisk 1G jump drive
both have U3 software on them & all 3 have caused Windows fatal errors,when installed, shutting system down. On reboot the system hangs on these drives & stops. Did some web surfing & found alot of people have trouble with U3 & a hundred's of different conflict problems. Memerox support said remove Sonic MY DVD & a list of other dvd software confilicts with U3. Didn't work. Then said my USB ports won't support the drive. Found out if hold shiftkey down when installing drive, stops the U3 from loading, I can now copy files 2 the non U3 side of drive. Oh by the way even after gaining acess 2 the U3 part of the drive you can't delete or reformat it. Found good place 4 these drives called the trash recycle bin.

After my experience with a Memorex TravelDrive, I am never going 2 buy a Memorex product again. I do not trust the company. The U3 technology on the TravelDrive apparently overwrote or modified some system files on my computer & a card reader stopped functioning. After spending several hours trying 2 deal with it, I ended up hiring a professional 2 get things working again (and paid four times the cost of the TravelDrive). The TravelDrive also apparently put some programs on my computer in a hidden way that reinstalls the U3 junk on the TravelDrive if I remove it. I got the TravelDrive planning 2 use it 2 transfer files between computers but I would never expose another computer 2 this. This should have a rating of minus 5.

At barely 2.25 inches long, the new Mini TravelDrive offers consumers a personal & portable working environment, with on-the-go software & 512MB of storage capacity. The Mini features a distinctive design & platinum-colored finish. Utilizing the U3 smart drive technology, the Mini TravelDrive carries not just digital files like songs, photos, & data, but also portable software applications that go everywhere you do & can be used on any PC. The Mini comes bundled with four value-added applications 4 email, security, file synchronization, & virus detection. The wrap-around blue LED light brings an extra touch of coolness 2 this attractive, portable storage device.
