Great for everyday use, only niggle is that it could have come with a lanyard or keychain attachment.
I'm sure I'll loose it soon, still because of the price and size (both physical and capacity) I'd buy another one tomorrow…

I can't believe how small this flash drive is! I put mine in upside down at first and obviously it did nothing. I had to slot it in contact side up/logo side down and you instantly have 4GB to play with.

Comments about Crucial 4GB, USB Flash Drive, USB Flash Drive,:

This USB is great - I can store photo albums on it without worrying about too little disk space, and it easily attaches to my keyring!! I use it mostly for school work, and whenever anyone sees it I straight away get the question "what does it plug in to?" Nothing to worry about as it goes into a normal USB port. So far, not a single problem with it, definatley reccomended

Comments about Crucial 4GB, USB Flash Drive, USB Flash Drive,:

I recently upgraded from my 2gig version of the same device which ive been using for around a year now. [...] The casing is a little flimsy which is one of the reasons i upgraded to this new one but they are hard wearing. My 2gig one sat in a puddle in the car park at work for 6 hours. Still works fine and that was months ago.

Small, fits in my car's armrest USB slot and is not bulky so I can close the armrest over it easily.
The keyring hole broke within a few days, and cannot be repaired. However the stick is still functioning perfectly so I just leave it in my car.

Comments about Crucial 4GB, USB Flash Drive, USB Flash Drive,:

After 3 days the inside parted company with the casing. I found the inside on the floor of the car a week later. I repaired it with double sided tape, but it shouldn't have fallen apart in the first place!
Just too flimsy for my liking.

Comments about Crucial 4GB, USB Flash Drive, USB Flash Drive,:

I got a free 1 GB Gizmo Jr with my order and ordered a 4 GB just for the capacity.

Everybody is amazed by its size and capacity. It's always in my wallet and works fine.

I have a Sony MEX-BT3600 car radio and this USB drive is just made for it. No big clunky USB drive hanging out of the radio and enough space for all my music.

Neat, high performance product

Comments about Crucial 4GB, USB Flash Drive, USB Flash Drive,:

Great for use with laptop ... and so small and light I thought they had forgotten to put it in the packaging.
I didn't think it would be broad enough to fit in the USB socket ... but it is.
If it has a drawback, its so small its easy to lose.

This little memory USB card is great. It's stylish and versatile. I love the size and it reads and writes at a good pace. I would recommend this to anyone who wants a stylish little memory stick, rather than a clunky bullet size one. It's small, but perfectly formed. Great price too.

Comments about Crucial 4GB, USB Flash Drive, USB Flash Drive,:

Small isn't always an advantage. Scared I may misplace it due to size and the chip has fallen out of the tiny casing but this is easily fixed with super glue. Looking for more substantial housing.

Other then that, product works very well and has a very fast transfer time.

Comments about Crucial 4GB, USB Flash Drive, USB Flash Drive,:

Ok I ordered the 4GB and it arrived. There was a problem the pack appeared emty containing only a security tab.

I sent an Email complaining..to be told I should open the pack as the Gizmo was very small.

The security tag was the Gizmo, it now sits on my key ring and works brilliantly..the first flash drive I dont misplace and that I always carry around with me.

I was astounded by the miniaturisation of this flash drive..it performs to a high standard, easy to use and provides great storage...it is just unbelievably small and great value
