Apacer Handy Steno USB 2.0 Flash Drive (02/28/2004)

Have loved this drive!by kateinNH - April 19, 2010

Pros: Rugged, larger than average size and cable loop has makes this drive hard to lose, easy to attach to bags and whatnot and I don't lose the cap! This provides function to simplification in design but not oversimplification.

Cons: I wish there was a larger, more modern capacity version and that their products were more widely available. The drive is maxed out.

Indestructible: the Superman of Flash Drives.by Valwriter - January 5, 2009

Pros: I owned an older version of the Apacer handy steno and this thing just wouldn't die. It went through the washer and dryer 9 times and still worked. This newer model has also had a taste of the spin cycle and has proven to be just as durable

Cons: Sure the steel cable can be a little annoying, but unless you have an angry girlfriend after you with a pair of *****, then you are not going to lose that friggin' cap.

Best usb drive money can buyby L33TWORKS - December 29, 2007

Pros: durable, lasts forever, no problems

Cons: i have had no problems

Review: I bought the 2gb version about 4 years ago. for like $186.00. It spent every day in my pocket and had seen plenty of abuse. It even caught on fire once.(I plugged it into a bad usb port)it still worked after. I would still be using but i lost it this past month. I know the next one i buy is going to be this brand.

Avoid this brandby - February 14, 2005

Pros: Convenient cap on a leash, but I wanted a memory device more.

Cons: It is unreliable. Plugs in, comes up quickly but hangs afterwards. Have to re-plug it. Repeat about 10 times to get everything in. Then some files copy ok, but disappears later. No choice, it was corporate purchase item. Never dropped it, always "safely r

very handyby - February 12, 2005

Pros: CNET calls the permanent cap a 'slight impediment' but I think it's one of the best things about it! I travel a lot, so the cap keeps it clean and doesn't get lost. I've had mine for about a year now and have had no problems. Very handy

Cons: none

Great Drive and Great Priceby - January 12, 2005

Pros: Got 256mb on sale for 25.00 .Slim, so its easy to fit on usb ports on back of PC.So far have had no problems what so ever.

Cons: Steel cable attached to cap, great idea but gets annoying after a while. Would have liked Apacer to have made the cable removeable, so the owner could take off or put on the cable if they so choose to.Aside from this its still a good drive.

Was astounded at first, but...by - January 12, 2005

Pros: This drive is great! Initially, it was quite reliable and durable. I love the fact that you can't lose the cap. It's not an impediment for me since you can pull it pack so that it does obstruct you as much. what's a teensy bit of discomfort against su

Cons: My drive started to fail 2 months after purchase. It suddenly went blank on me and had to reformat it. It behaved sporadically on me since then. I tried copying a big file into it. I compared the two files OK and tried to DC it after the copy and comp

Skip to many problems.by - July 27, 2004

Pros: I purchased the Handy HT202 and after tossing the box that the drive came, the drive started to fail as soon as I tried to copy file to and from the drive. When connecting the drive Windows XP would find the drive and the removable drive would appair, bu
