I READ A REVIEW STATEING THAT THIS DRIVE WAS SLOW AFTER I HAD ALREADY ORDERED TWO. I THOUGHT I HAD JUST ORDERED A LAME DUCK. AS IT TURNED OUT, I'M GLAD I MADE THE PURCHASE. I LOADED THE DRIVE WITH 55 INDIVIDUAL CD'S OFF MY PC IN A LITTLE OVER AN HOUR. BY THE TIME I SELECTED THE NEXT CD THE LAST ONE WAS FINISHING. BETWEEN THE TWO DRIVES I HAVE 108 CD'S IN THE CHANGE TRAY IN MY CAR. I CAN SEE A COUPLE MORE OF THESE DRIVES COMING MY WAY IN THE NEAR FUTURE.

I purchase a little 8gb Micro Vault today. It was on sale at Circuit City so I thought I would give it a try. The first thing I saw after I opened the box up was that, unlike the misleading photos on the Amazon web site, there is virtually nothing on it to allow it to be clipped to anything. No keychain, no type of hook. nothing. It would just have to loosely dangle in ones pocket to transport it and would be real easy to lose if I can't hang it on a small clip when not in use. The other thing is that it really is slower than other flash RAM that I have. Sony keep falling and falling and falling into an abyss of proprietary , lower quality hardware, worse warantees, and stupid ideas. They are soooo out of touch. Jon

I have no complaints with this flash drive. I have downloaded programs to it from the internet and have transferred files on/off to my computer. It performs flawlessly. The included compression software is a bonus. I haven't had the need to use it yet but it's there if I need to squeeze more data onto the drive. Some reviewers have complained about the speed. For them it's too slow. I don't share this complaint. I have no problem with how fast it transfers data. If it is too slow I haven't noticed, as I am rarely just sitting there waiting for it to finish. While it's doing its thing, I am checking my email, working on a doc, or surfing the net. By the time I'm finished, it's finished. Obviously, faster is better. But so is quality in this age of iffy performing technology. When I find something that works well and serves the purpose for which I purchased it to my complete satisfaction, I stick with it. I wouldn't hesitate to purchase this Sony flash drive again. The only issue I have is the price I've seen it sell for at many places. Thankfully Amazon has it priced reasonably but it generally sells for around $70 at most chain stores I've been to. I wouldn't pay nearly that much for it and I have no idea why it is priced so high.
