Tribeca FV00115 1GB Rugged USB Drive

This little flash drive worked well out of the box. But by the end of the first week, the metal ring clip tore away from the rubber casing. No big deal, I suppose, but it was nice to be able to hang it from the key chain. The second week, neither my desktop nor my laptop recognized the device, and when I disconnected it from the latter, it had overheated and clearly no longer functional. I don't know if there's a relationship here, but after it failed on the desktop, so did my wireless network, which had to be reinstalled from scratch. So, all in all, $30 for two weeks worth of use . . . not exactly what I hoped for.

This thing is a peice of junk... I just got it yesterday and every file that I try to save on it does not reopen ever again... and I get a different error every time... and there was no helpline number to call on the packaging. DO NOT BUY THIS FLASH DRIVE. Go with something else.

This "Rugged" flash drive is a great storage device. The only thing about it is that it is not rugged! I had it connected to the included carabiner and it fell off one day! Luckily someone noticed and gave it to me. The connecting device is connected to the flash drive by a small rubber loop. After one week that loop failed. If you want a "rugged" flash drive do not buy this one. Now I have it just floating in my backpack.
