This review is from: SimpleTech USB 2.0 Flash Drive USB flash drive - 2 GB ( STI-USB2FD/2GB ) (Personal Computers)
I've been using the SimpleTech Bonzai STI-USB2FD/2GB for over a month now. My primary use is to have a portable version of Eudora Pro and to maintain my PGP keyrings. The speed and size of the flash drive made this a perfect application.
A few days ago, I transferred a few large ZIP files onto the flash, pretty much filling the 2GB of drive space. Ever since, the drive has become unreliable, resulting in uncorrectable 'chkdsk' errors and causing file corruption errors. The drive has been formatted multiple times to no avail.
The SimpleTech 2GB flash drive was one of the first, and by far the cheapest one to market. Either my device or the design may have been slightly before its time. I'm currently waiting for other vendors to come out with 2GB flash drives under $200. I will not be considering SimpleTech in the future.
