Comments about Crucial 8GB, USB Flash Drive, USB Flash Drive,:

I have purchased Gizmo drives in the past and had no hesitation when I needed a new one to come back to Crucial. I haven't yet used the drive but am very disappointed in the build quality, it just isn't the same as my previous drives plus there wasn't even a lanyard with this one.I have purchased several of the previous ones and gave them as gifts as they really were very nice and felt solid. I haven't much inspiration to even use this one as it doesn't feel like a quality drive and looks flat/plastic not crisp and smart. It may work the same but going by looks and feel I wish I had returned without opening it.I would only use this to keep at home unlike my crisp clean Gizmo drive [...]

Comments about Crucial 8GB, USB Flash Drive, USB Flash Drive,:

I use this flash drive to take a complete copy of my Outlook database synchronised with Migo software so that I don't need to take my laptop with me when travelling abroad. It's early days but so far it has worked well. What I particularly like about it is that although it is very compact considering its large capacity, it also appears to be robust enough to withstand the rigours of regular long distance travel
