I need to transfer quite large files and some memory sticks are painfully slow when writing to it. This one is at least 4 times faster on the same pc as any of my other ones doing a 64 MByte file in 5 secs. Also has Win98 drivers which is handy. Did have one USB port on a W2K pc which wouldn’t recognise it but I think this was a problem with the port not the stick.

Having bought 2 of these for the kids’ in-car DVD players, I wholeheartedly agreed with all of the positive reviews. The ability to have colour-coded memory sticks ensures that Pingu and Thomas the Tank engine reach the appropriate offspring effortlessly! I have had no read/write snags and the sticks appear durable enough – although I do agree with the 3* comment regarding the design of the cap; but at least with the hoop-design of these sticks you can attach a small lanyard between the stick and its cap to avoid unecessary hours searching under car seats! Finally, as with any Memory Stick, the max available storage space is slightly ‘less than advertised’ – so plan accordingly. Can’t fault them.
