"Tough. but picky..."
Pros: Fast. Tough as Nails. Great slide feature. Nice Blue Light.
Cons: Picky about power!! High Pitch whine.
Summary: I am in the military currently serving in Iraq. I am overall happy with the drive. It is able to withstand the harsh environment (although i need to blow the sand out of the slide all too often.) It has very fast transfer rates, when it works it's GREAT. Just recently i was in a humvee that exploded and i was thrown from the rear seat. and myself and thr drive took a REALLY good tumble. didnt think the drive would withstand the blast and the ensuing beating it took. But after wiping it down and blowing out ..... i plugged it and work liked a charm.
That being said. The drive seems to be very picky about where it's plugged into and not all usb ports are equal. when it doesnt power up, i hear a high pitch whine. normally when i plug the drive into a USB hub it works almost always too. When i REPEATLY attempt to insert it and take it out sometimes it will power up. so i have to gamble. but when it works its an AWESOME drive that's tough enough to survive these conditions.

When it works, it works, but in some cases, it just doesn't power up, depending on which computer you plug it into. At times, I would have to remove it and re-insert it to try to get the power up. I have another usb drive, no name brand that works EVERY time. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. It's not as consistently reliable as I expected. Too bad too, since i like the fact that it is very phsyically durable.
