Super Talent Pico-A 8 GB USB 2.0 Flash Drive STU8GPAS (Silver)

 (3 customer reviews)

This is a really cool flash drive. Before I ordered it, I knew it was tiny, but I was still surprised at the supreme lack of size. It looks great on a keychain, and looking at it you don't immediately think "usb drive". Yet it really does have 8GB (some people I've shown it to don't believe it). The only reason I haven't rated this 5/5 is because it is slow compared to the average flash drive and especially the usb 2.0 drives. It takes a super long time to transfer large (>1GB) files, but in small files like pdfs and office documents you don't notice the difference. If you don't care that much about speed but want a tiny, extremely portable drive, this is for you. Plus you get to wow your geeky (or at least people who will understand what a flash drive is) friends with its EXTREME tiny-ness.

I read it was small, but oh boy! Once you see it, you'll realized the people weren't exaggerating. In fact, some people I knew, weren't convinced 4 GB could fit in there!

Anyways, towards to the product, its a very functional USB drive. Though it doesn't transfer files like a large hard drive would, its practical. I mean, unless your life is full of adventure, and you require your large files transfered back and forth before the CIA breaks your door down to get you, you're fine.

The USB drive, is small, and usable. The small is also a double-edge sword, for one, its small and portable, easily concealed, and the the first thing a thief would steal at first glance since all it looks like is a keychain fob of somes sort. But on the other hand, if you insert it your usb port, one good/hard karate chop down on it, could snap it in half. But yet again, its very unlikely to happen.

The only complaint I have, is that by inserting it into your USB drive, back...Read more

I got this drive at least 6 months ago, not sure how much beyond that, but anyways, its still going. I use it to play music in my car, since my stereo deck supports usb drives. Extremely convenient, put it on my key chain and never even notice its there except for when I need it. I suppose the only downside is the little chain that it comes with. Not convenient enough to keep detaching it, and it would soon become weak and not stay attached if I did that. I can detach my keys though so I put the key to my car on one side and the usb on the other, problem solved.
Anyhow, write speed is kind of slow, but I kind of figured on that when I got it so was not disappointed. The size was the main thing that attracted me to it, and it works nicely for what I wanted it for.
