- Strengths:
- Fast but you need a USB 3 connection to get full speed.
- Weaknesses:
- The drive was physically bigger than I was expecting. I would have preferred something smaller.
Also be wary of the rebate. I bought mine with a $10 rebate. I sent in the paperwork and they told me that the UPC code didn't match the rebate, so I didn't get the rebate. Apparently there are several different UPC codes for this item and if your code doesn't match the rebate number you get nothing.
I'm not sure if memory express is even aware of the rebate problem.
- Summary:
- Good and Fast.
Watch out for the rebate.
GREAT...UNTIL IT FAILED

- Strengths:
- Great speed
Seems protected
- Weaknesses:
- I question the durability of this drive...
fat yes
collects lint yes- but what doesnt. at least it stays on the outside
- Summary:
- Was working flawlessly with great 20mb min transfer rates, 30ish peak.
UNTIL....it just died while I was transferring files...I'm not gonna be a weiner and give it a 1 star, to be honest it happens- I laughed when I bought the IPR....hahahha.
I have a Kingston DT101 G2 16GB, plastic body wiuth the little swivle cover...still going strong after a year & a bit. My 1st Corsair USB drive- maybe my last due to questionable build quality.
At least I have the IPR...and now I have an errand...yay.
WORKS GREAT!

- Strengths:
- -Works right at the promised speeds. Seq r 79.84 w 21.83
-Reliable
-Feels very resilient
- Weaknesses:
- -It's a little wide
-Could be a little faster for usb 3.0 speeds.
- Summary:
- Great deal, even when it's not on sale, I had a friend pick me up one on boxing day and I just ordered another two for 19.99 a piece on sale. Thats almost comparable to the price per gig on usb 2.0 devices. This is a must buy for any one who shares data alot.
great flash dive

- Strengths:
- USB v. 3
- Weaknesses:
- Terrible rubber cover. Becomes dirty and can't be cleaned - attracts lint, dust, and whatnot.
Also, cap easy to lose.
- Summary:
- Will be seen as an average unit once more v. 3 USB becomes the norm.
GREAT Performance

- Strengths:
- Fast writing and reading sped
Cheap
- Weaknesses:
- No free strap
Fat in size so if you have USB ports that are parallel to each other, the USB drive might block the USB port right beside the one u're inserting.
- Summary:
- Great speed, compatible with Mac and Windows!!!
Great Product
