Sony Micro Vault Tiny 2 GB USB Flash Drive (USM2GH)

I bought this because I needed a flash drive 4 school & this looked super portable & holds a lot more than my old one. I haven't had any problems with it on my desktop. I don't know about the speed because I don't transfer huge files, mostly homework assignments & such. My only complaint is that it is SO SO THIN, my laptop (mac) will not read it because it doesn't touch the contacts. If you really want it still & you use a laptop, I solved this the ghetto way & taped some masking tape onto just the back part of the flash drive 2 make it thicker, & now it reads! Huzzah. I hope it doesn't melt or something. I think it's sloppy on Sony's part 2 not consider that though, so I knocked it down a few stars. I would suggest this only if you don't use a laptop & you just want something tiny & portable 2 save small files.

Purchased 4 Sony Blu-Ray BDP-S350. This Flash drive did not work with the Sony Blu-Ray player. The Sony blu-Ray DVD player did not recognize the Sony USB flash drive. I called Sony & they were not at all helpfull so I returned the USB flash drive. The flash drive did work in my HP desktop computer but I did not buy it 4 that reason.

I bought mine over six months ago. I use it nearly everyday at my job as a Systems Administrator 2 sneakernet files from one computer 2 another. I keep about 500 mb of music on it so I always have tunes that I want 2 hear when I have the chance wherever I am. That still leaves plenty of room 2 transport other files. I even used it in a rental car that had a USB port 4 the sound system when I was on travel. I keep it in my little fifth pocket in my Levi blue jeans, & that means that I have forgotten about it a few times. It has gone through the washer & dryer three times (that I know of) with no data loss & it keeps on working just as well as the day I bought it. I will be sad on the day when I loose it (my only fear 4 this flash drive). I am never without this little guy. The rubber holder is still with it as well. Though I lost the clip about a month ago, I never used it anyway. 5 Stars!! Maybe someday I'll upgrade 2 8 gig version. Don't need it yet.

This is a great drive. I bought it when I noticed that Best Buy had mismarked its price & was selling it 4 around $5. I've had it 4 about a year during which it has accidentally gone through the washer & dryer once & been run over by a bike tire (I'm an active person.) The good news is: the drive still works!

The read & write speed aren't something 2 write home about but the drive is fairly fast. I mostly use it 2 transfer installer files & 600-700MB ISOs. The write times are considerably faster than when I use my Kingston & I can burn from an ISO on the drive without noticing much of a speed difference.

I've been very happy with this drive & have bought the 4GB version since I need more space.

I purchased this product 8 months ago & use it regularly 2 backup my microsoft money data, well now it doesn't work "device has malfuntioned" so I have 2 get another one, will definitely purchase a different product 4 the second one.
