I bought my 32GB slider and I am surely impressed - write/read speeds are phenominal and makes this a great tool for the price... I would highly recommend this USB Drive...

Yes it's big. Yes it's fast. But I do not expect a thumb drive to come preloaded with a big pile of adware, spyware, 'anti-virus' software which asks if you really don't want to download various files to protect your computer from unknown threats, etc. I only hope I deleted them before they autoloaded onto my computer. I understand that this is a source of extra revenue for the manufacturers, but it does nothing for the purchasers, most such software being of a malicious nature

Here is a quick review to help out all potential buyers :) I've owned 32GB drive for about a year now. Sure, it comes with several programs. But, hey, "insert -> format drive -> done -> clean drive" process takes less than a minute. :)
Pros:
* Good plastic finish, scratch resistant
* Good read speed: ~20MB/s
* Good price per GB value
Cons:
* Relatively slow write speed. I got an average of 2.5 - 4 MB/s while copying several gigs of my photos. I was able to confirm slow write speed on different PCs/laptops. Can you believe that it takes more than two hours to copy the files in order to fill up this huge drive???
* Slightly bulky. I remember problems inserting this drive into a laptop with tight space around USB port, especially if there is another device/cable connected to a neighbor port.
Things to watch for:
* Handling takes some practice. I recommend to hold stick by silver slider when inserting into USB port...Read more
