Customer Reviews

Absolutely spot on
There's actually not that much to say. This 4GB USB 2.0 pendrive is physically small and driverless on XP.

The drive comes pre-formatted FAT32 so is ready to plug and go and a really simple but useful touch is the cap clips on the end - this should mean no more lost caps.

A colour coded USB extension cable us supplied but it does not come with a neck strap - that is the only niggle.

Last but not least, a 2 year guarantee - outstanding.

Cheap Chearful and Slow
The same colour as shown in the picture, capless its about 68mm long 7mm thick and 18mm wide, it has a small green activity LED, and no "read only mode" switch despite having what looks like a place on the PCB for one. It comes with a 50cm blue USB extension cable, as previously mentioned, which people would happily trade for a neck strap/string for attaching it to a keyring, and a read only mode switch.

Formatted capacity in windows is 3.74GB.

Speed wise;

1min47sec to copy a 698MB iso to it (6.5MB/sec)
Smaller files are much slower
1min to copy 40.1MB in 150 files (0.67MB/sec)

The cap clips on with clips on either side of the USB plug, adds a few mm to its length, and has a hole in the end. The USB plug does feel slightly loose, and I am not sure I would like to risk it in a washing machine.

£20 delivered for a 4GB flash stick, despite the niggles, is at the moment excellent value.

Great USB Stick from Buffalo
The USB stick arrived within two days, very speedy from Amazon!
