Dane-Elec 4 GB USB 2.0 Flash Drive DA-ZMP-04G-CA-R3-R (Red)

I purchased this flash drive at Target in May 2009. So why did I wait 'till now to write a review? Because something pretty cool happened today...I had left my flash drive in the pocket of one of my sweaters and my mom did the laundry while I was at school. You know where this is going...

My mom pulled out my flash drive and told me that she had found in the laundry. I figured I would check it in a few days, once it was sure to be dry on the inside, but the it occurred to me to ask her if it was just in the washer or in the dryer as well. She laughed and said both, so I decided to check it right away. To my surprise, ALL my files were there, EVERYTHING! That's pretty amazing to say the least. Who knew a $10 flash drive could be so awesome?

I bought another brand of usb, plastic broke, data un-retreavable. Never again.
This is my brand to use for life.

i bought this in white at a target store in december 2008 for $9.99 plus tax. i use it for my writing, maintaining stories and novellas as backup from my laptop--just in case. it's always quick and secure. it's a little bit bigger, kinda bulky, but for the price this won out. ive used it with xp and windows 7. i dont remember if i had to download a kodak to get it to work with xp originally--too long ago--but i do know that it works effortlessly with windows 7 home premium 64bit. i recommend it for light to moderate use. it's always done well by me.
