This is a nice little flash drive. It's not too expensive but quite fast for the price. It may lack some of the high end security features but is great for exchanging things like photos where security is not a major concern. Often you need an inexpensive and efficient little flash drive containing photos from a birthday party or BBQ that you can hand to friends and family. Many times you never see that flash drive again......that's what makes this inexpensive unit attractive to me.

The Verbatim Store 'n' Go PRO USB Flash Drive - 16GB performance is advertised as below Transfers even large files/folders fast!...Up to 80X Write (12MB/s) and 200X Read (30MB/s) speed GUESS WHAT, I tested the NON PRO "Verbatim Store 'n' Go USB Flash Drive 16GB" and the performance came out to be the same. I have performed a benchmark test using SisSoftware Sandra Lite. the results are as follows When transferring a 2MB file Reads: 27955kB/s Writes: 7168kB/s When transferring a 64MB file Reads: 27307kB/s Writes: 12015kB/s CONCLUSION: Don't waste your money buying the so called pro drive, becoz I think this one is just as fast as the pro drive, in fact I suspect they even use the same chip, just that the pro drive is advertise to be super fast to get more $$ out of ur pocket. Benchmark testing is one thing, in real life scenario, I find the drive to be extremely fast and reliable. By the way, I didn't buy it from amazon, but just thought that I might want to post a review here coz it's more likely to be read.

I saw this USB drive in Sam's Club and did a double take. 8 GB for under $40? I grabbed one and have been using it and loving it ever since. I love the fact that it's 8 GB and I can transfer files with just 1 upload. The speed is pretty decent and actually a bit better than some of the other USB drives I have. I just really love the fact that I can carry 8 GB worth of files in my pocket or briefcase.
