Small but robust.

Confidential material safeguarded via built in encryption software.
Excellent value for money.

This is the second flash drive I've owned and far and away the best i've seen.

The size and power are amazing - I have mine attached to my key ring and due to it's small size, it's truly unobtrusive. It comes with 2 spare covers to protect it, and the key ring attachment is attached to the stick itself, not the cap - great as it means you won't lose the stick!

The storage works great and the 1GB size means you can back up files without too much consideration or worry about space. So far I've had NO problems on any of the pc's I've used it on.

The best money I've spent in quite a while.

I have had a few memory pens now, (as I lose a few) and this is by far the best. It is very small, so it doesn't disrupt other USB ports, cheaper than most other 1GB memory pens, and there is a cool light that makes the end of it glow!

The only quibble is that the free protective cases easily slide off after a time and it is easy to missplace the detachable lid, but otherwise, perfect...

If you want a mem. pen with 1GB storage, buy buy buy!!!

Can't believe the price - the place I normally go is charging £40+ for one of these! Comes with lanyard and two additional (blue and orange) 'skins' but I can't seem to remove the original clear one without some force - will sort it out when I HAVE to! (see below). Drive is physically VERY small, is recognised immediately by win XP but also works ok with win98SE.
Minor disadvantages -
1)USB cap doesn't seem to fit very positively on the other end of the drive when plugged into the pc (chance of loosing it! but you have two other skins to replace it if it does go missing)
2)Cruzer lock (to encrypt your files) software is a bit of fiddle to use (drag and drop individual files rather than locking/unlocking entire drive)

Was excited to find this tiny but high capacity thumb drive so cheap (£29.99 when purchased from Amazon UK).

Very disappointed with the read/write speed. My nothing special 256Mb Buzby which I replaced with this was far faster.

No wonder I couldn't find read/write speeds quoted anywhere including the manufacturers website. Definately not something you want to run software off.

Certainly can't recommend this or its 2GB equivalent. Looks like there are better drives cheaper now.
