Flash Drives have come a very very long way since I had my first one... a 32 meg one that cost me about $60 a few years ago, is now dwarfed in comparison to these new "monster" storage drives coming out.
I know Corsair has a 16 gig on the market, and I hear theres a 32 gig version not too far away...
thats literally more space then my first PC just a few short years ago had (about 2001 my first PC had a 20 gig drive in it)
just last summer I got a 512 meg drive, which I thought was incredible.
took me about a week to run out of space on that... then it wasnt so incredible, when I had to constantly try to deciede what I could delete to make space for some file I wanted to keep with me at a given time...
I doubt thats gonna be a problem with this anytime soon.
The Package.
Solid Heat Sealed Packaging, with little to no chance of damage during shipping.
What else you get.
Mini Driver CD (not necessary, I just put the drive on my PC and it worked with no need for the CD) USB Extension cable, and a Neck Strap.
Close Up.
Its got a solid rubber shell around the drive itself, and has a solid grip, and with a shell like this, theres not much chance of damage under most circumstances.
The Cap.
The Cap to the drive is solid rubber, and is held into place by tension, and has almost no chance of falling off on its own. its pretty well on there, so its not gonna just disappear one day, unless you plain old forget where you put it or something.
The Drive In Action.
When installed and running, you will see a Blue LED Activity light, that works in much the same way a "think light" on a standard case shows the activity of a hard drive.
its a fairly bright light and rather noticable, but its not distracting at all to me personally, even though with the extension cable, it's only about a foot away from me on my desk when in use.
