for the price i think this item is the bees knees, I have other memory sticks that look identical to this and the transfer rate is terrible.
This on the other hand has a very good transfer rate on pc and mac so all in all a very good buy.

My Bytestore 512MB pen drive gave up the ghost after a few years regular use so I decided to “upgrade” to a 16GB USB 20.0 drive particularly since the price was so good.
The transfer speed is excellent and there is ample storage space for my needs. I even used it to view large video files on my PS3 via the USB port.
The additional advantage is the case is so much slimmer than the previous Bytestore pen drive I had and fits easily into any of the three USB ports on my laptop even if the other two are occupied.
I would highly recommend this flash drive.

Got it, found its formatted to be 15GB which is about right.
Transfer speeds of 15MB/s Write and 30MB/s Read.
All and all, pretty good. I had the EXACT version but was 1GB which I got 4 years ago. So in another 4 years… I’m looking forward to 100GB!

All the Other reviews point out what a good purchase.
In the event that you would need to store a file larger than 4GB (although unlikely) and are not in the habit of just pulling out the USB drive without closing the files then formatting to NTFS is better than the FAT32 Format it is delivered as.
I keep reading in Forums that you cant format to NTFS through Windows XP but in fact you can. It is set to FAT32 by default.
To format to NTFS this is what you do (hope it is helpful).
If using XP Go to Control Panel-System-Device Manager, select your USB drive then select Properties and change the policies option of the USB Stick device to “Optimize for Performance”.
The default is to optimize for Quick Removal, which restricts you to the FAT and FAT32 file system.
You need to restart the computer before you see if the FORMAT option of either FAT32 or NTFS as an option

I dont usually leave reviews but for this one i will
i was nervous about so much of my business work not being backed up so bought this memory stick, i simply inserted it into the usb port on the pc and after a few seconds a window popped up, then copy and pasted the work folders into the window……then took it out and put it into the laptop and again after a few seconds it opened and there it all was, superb little device, and by the way PCworld are selling 16gb for over £30!
