 Small, quick, good quality memory stick February 1, 2008
Rob (UK)

Small and good quality memory stick, all plastic so a little lightweight compared to some but seems solid enough, cap fits firmly.
Pleasantly surprised by read speed, manufacturer only quotes 8Mb/s but I get 17-18Mb/s at least sometimes up to 22Mb/s so is very quick for a budget priced stick. Write speed not as impressive, manufacturer quotes 7Mb/s and this is about right, a single 350Mb file took 51 secs (6.86Mb/s), 8Gb of video files took 18m30s (7.32Mb/s) and 4Gb of mp3's took 16m30s (4.34Mb/s) so a bit slower with multiple files and folders. Quite happy with write speed really as I only use a fraction of the capacity most of the time but is nice to have the space if needed, fast read speed compensates for the comparatively slow write speed in a way.
Seems a very good value memory stick, small and neat, quick enough for most people. Recommended.
This is compatible with Windows Vista! January 24, 2008

I had a similar problem as mentioned in the previous review and I followed the advice below:
USB sticks are mass storage devices and the drivers are built into Vista,
Vista tends to loose the files USBSTOR.INF and USBSTOR.PNF from C:|Windows\INF.
There are copies of the files in C:\Windows\System32\DriverStore\FileRepository.
Simply copy the files in to C:\Windows\INF and have windows either update driver or scan for new hardware.
Most machines running vista will recognise this drive without having to go through this process
Excellent Price for 8GB! and Sturdy! January 11, 2008

Spot on USB memory stick, excellent price for 8GB (I remember the days when USB memory use to cost a fortune!). Feels solid compared to some other USB sticks out there. My laptop recognised the additional storage straight away when plugged in. Can't fault it, thanks!
if your memory stick is reporting only 8 MB April 18, 2008

For those people reporting only 8 MB instead of 8 GB: the memory stick comes with a security application on it. If you use it and specify password protection then most of the stick is `invisible'. If you subsequently format the stick you will still have this `problem' (the stick remembers the security). You have to put the application back on the stick and remove the password protection to see the full 8 GB.
Regarding the 7.54GB instead of 8GB: the useable capacity of any formatted media is less than is true size. Just take a look at your Hard Disk Properties and you will see a similar reduction.
By the way the stick is much smaller than it appears in the photos.
Yes it Does work on XP & Vista`s February 24, 2008

This is the Fourth USB Pen I`ve bought and undoubtedly the Best of the bunch, I purchased it from Amazon and within 3 days it was in my hand, I plugged it in to my XP mahine and it was recognized instantly just short of 8gb, I tried it on a Vista`s machine and same again NO PROBLEMS!!!!, it reads and writes quick enough for me. My software is up to Date (Maybe thats why other people are having Trouble with theirs].
