For starters, The swivel cover is the best thing that can happen to a portable USB drive.I always kept losing the cover of my previous I-ball drive.No problems here though,just swivel and go.

The Read/Write speed is phenomenal,as compared to my previously used drives (I-ball,transcend,Kingston)and the pass-protect application is pretty useful for the privacy conscious.The only thing is that the device does not work with Windows 98.However it oes on later OS' USB1.1 as well as 2.0

This is an especially good alternative for people from the subcontinent,since there is a large market of counterfeits for brands like transcend and Kingston.
