Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Super Talent Pico-C 8 GB USB 2.0 Flash Drive STU8GPCS (Silver)
Customer Review: Wish I could afford ten of these. Three will do for now.
Summary: 5 Stars
I admit I am a sucker for very small, bright, shiny things, and these are about the brightest, shiniest, and smallest usb drives you'll find. I have an 8GB and a 16GB and am picking up another 16GB drive in about five minutes when I get back to my shopping cart. You could carry a handful of these around on your key ring and nobody would even pick up that you were a complete geek with a pocket full of thumb drives! Instead you have these little sparkly metal rectangles that could be, like, art or something.
The drives themselves are virtually indestructible. I mean, I suppose a sledge hammer might do one in, but otherwise you can drool on it, sweat on it, spit on it or dunk it in your coffee and it will still work when you plug it into your computer. You could sit on it and probably even step on it at low velocities without hurting it.
The only drawback I can see to this drive is that it might be a bit too small for some. I keep all of mine on a clip that stays on a wallet chain, so I always know where they are, but if you don't keep it attached to something, it could disappear fairly easily. I suspect a cat might find these as entertaining to look at as I do. They do heat up during data transfer but so will any usb drive--most of the others are insulated by all that big ugly plastic.
Edited to add: I should note that I've used these drives almost exclusively with a MacBook Pro and never had a problem getting my machine to see them. Macs should be able to read FAT32 formatted drives of all kinds. Reformatting can correct problems, which may indicate that the drive was not properly formatted at the factory. Mass production being what it is, it is not surprising that some bum drives get sold. That said, I just got my new 16GB drive (sporting a deep bronze-silver finish that is even more seductive than the bright silver ones are), and it showed up on my desktop as soon as I plugged it in. And it is true that it's a snug fit. Honestly, to me that feels like quality; cheap stuff rattles around. Maybe usb ports also differ in real-world specs. Me, I like the solidity of this little bit of huge storage space.
Thus, I still cannot think of one thing to complain about. I currently carry a library of over 500 books in my watch pocket; I will soon be adding a bunch of photos and films. What do you have to lose? Well now you can carry it with you on a tiny piece of glinting metal. Or several. I recommend several.
