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

I bought it because it is small and effective. I bring it with me every time, as you dont know when you'll need an USB pen drive.
It is easy to loose though. Therefore would be nice to find an idea to make the "carrying" easier, without loosing its main pro.

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

Extremely portable device, less than half (more like a third) the size of a stick of chewing gum. About the same thickness as a credit card.

Fits easily in card wallet etc. Very handy to have around if you need to transfer files quickly and easily.

Far more practical than traditional USB Flash / Pen drives.

FAT32 formatted, so should have no problem working on PC or Mac. Simply plug and play - no drivers needed.

I bought one of these for use as a Windows 7 ReadyBoost device. It was very easy to set up and it has really improved the performance of my PC.

Be aware if you intend to use one of these as a memory stick, that its very very tiny and you could easily lose it.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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
