With a nice bundle, attractive price for the size (just over $100 at time of publication), and decent performance, I really have come to like this little drive. To be truthful, it’s replaced my wonky laptop hdd in a caddy for daily shuttling, mainly because it’s as simple as popping in and going. For me, the main appeal of this drive was to keep my personal data separate from my new laptop – that means GAIM, Thunderbird, Firefox, and two instances of Folding @ Home reside on here. The upshot? The applications load nice and fast, and unlike with a 512MB key, I don’t have to worry about running it out of space. The other nice thing is that while other TINY keys like OCZ’s mini kart can hide amongst change; this drive is large enough to be findable, but not enough so to be noticeable within a pocket. So in reality, this drive sits in that blind spot for users who can never decide whether they need capacity or size, and does an admirable job of it too. While there is a larger model available (8 GB!), it would be nice if Verbatim constructed a slightly thicker model with two micro-drives inside, and stuck them together for some microscopic RAID-0 action. |
