I'm using this on Fedora 12, and so far I'm thrilled with it. All I care about with a USB drive is survivability and function on Linux, so this seems like a perfect drive to me.
I got a write-speed of 7 MB/sec for 6 GB in 11,000 files on a quiet system.
When you take the stick out of its Krell Steel shell, it's quite small. Much smaller than the (older tech) 16 GB Corsair Survivor I was using last week. And here, smaller is better. Less torque on your USB port.
To me, the Survivor was a little disappointing in that, when you shuck it, the actual stick does not look or feel particularly survivable. This one is different. The stick itself, even without its shell, still feels very solid.
I can think of one minor improvement. Make the larger end of the closed stick flat, so I can stand it on a desk in what feels like the most natural way, and it won't wobble. ( The memory stick wobbles but it doesn't fall down...)
Other than that point, I see no way to improve upon this stick. So far everyone I show it to -- if I let them pick it up -- says, "I'm gonna get one of those."
