LaCie iamaKey 16 GB USB 2.0 Flash Drive 130871 (Silver) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
Pros: As advertised, imakey is the size of a (large) key and fits very well on a keychain. Very high "cute" and convenience factor.

Cons: It is quite slow relative to other flash drives. For example, to write and read a 122MB file took 52.6 and 11.5 seconds on the imakey compared to 37.0 and 7.7 seconds on a Lexar Firefly jumpdrive.
