Super Talent Pico-C 32 GB USB 2.0 Flash Drive STU32GPCG (Gold) Review

Bought drive in July of 2009, used frequently as my work as a computer technician demanded it. The drive is very small as advertised, but believe it or not, it's pretty difficult to plug it into computers since it's so tiny. Also, its connection directly into the port is wider than normal USB Flash Drives, so you need to use some decent force to get the drive into the port correctly. So small + difficult to place into ports with a very tight fit, makes it less easy to use. I can't just stick it into the port unless I have it lined up perfect and I have room so that my fingers can push it in. This doesn't work when I have to reach behind older machines to access their ports, like servers, etc.

Appearance-wise, it's shiny but gets scratched very easily and finger prints stay. It doesn't just scratch, but the kind of scratch that tears the little shiny film on the outside till it shatters and break off, similar to old glue. Over a long period of time, it really loses that sheik look, with all the scratches and finger prints.

I used it to store software installers, drivers, and documents, all for work. It was filled up to about 14 of the 16GB most of the time, but never completely full. I would say that I used it daily, only to backup a few files, but never anything hardware enduring. The biggest file I ever backed up was a disc image (700MB), and I never ran any portable programs directly from it. I kept the drive on a small key ring with my keys as a key chain, so it was banging against my keys most of the time. I read other reviews, one saying that the drive also kept on a key chain had lasted two years and was still going strong.

Well, today mine just stopped working. I plugged it into one computer, to backup a few drivers for a new NIC card, Safely Removed it when I was finished, then connected it to a new computer (without ever placing in back on my key chain), and it could not find the drive correctly. I tried on multiple computers and multiple OSs, even ran some tests on it. To put it simply, the drive failed.

So, it's a nice drive, being that it's so small and pretty fast, but it only lasted four months and I have no idea why. It simply stopped working. I never even got the drive wet, only ever clanked against my keys, that's it. Lasted four months. My previous flash drive lasted 2 years and was supposedly of "worse quality".

I really hope this was helpful, the drive's nice, but never store anything on there without backing it up somewhere else, otherwise you'll end up like me and lose 14GB of files needed for work.
