I read all the reviews and expected this to be small but it is way smaller than I anticipated. Really. Its about half the size of a stick of dentyne gum! Great portable drive. Be careful you don't lose it; you'll never find it.

Comments about Crucial 1GB, USB Flash Drive, USB Flash Drive,:

I like this design because I can put it in my wallet. Some flash drives are big and I always forget to put them in my pocket. I've used mine thousands of times. I work on all my friends computers and have to pack all my software with me. This makes it a breeze to copy or run files from it. Make my life alot easier and faster. Now I just need to upgrade to a larger one.

Comments about Crucial 1GB, USB Flash Drive, USB Flash Drive,:

What can one say about a flash drive that hasn't been said before? The Gizmo 1GB works as advertised its certianly small and holds the usual adjusted amount of data. I use it every day at work to xfer files from a networked PC to a stand alone PC, no problems.
Its small size could be its one drawback its possible on a less than neat desk to loose it in plain sight...

Comments about Crucial 1GB, USB Flash Drive, USB Flash Drive,:

The GizmoJr is a great little flash drive because it is so small but you can put it on your key ring, or tuck it in your wallet, or just about anywhere. It is very small and could be easy to lose but just make a better effort to tuck it away securely.
I like that I can pop it into any USB port and move files around between any Mac and PC with a USB slot and support. The size and compatibility is the best features.

It has been 2 years since I bought a "thumb drive". These new drives are the size of a "thumb-nail", with increased capacity and flawless plug and play functionality, and lower cost. ***** out of *****! Good work Crucial,

Comments about Crucial 1GB, USB Flash Drive, USB Flash Drive,:

I bought it because I liked the small physical size, with the large digital size. It works great, but is a tight fit on some usb slots. Never had a problem with data corruption or loss. My only concern is that after only a couple of months, it started to come apart. I got my data off it and set it aside to buy one that is more enclosed, if bulkier. I didn't want to risk it coming apart and not being able to get my stuff.

Tried it in every USB port at work but never got it to show up. Tried it in all my USB ports at home and it only shows up in one. What good is it for transferring files if it's too flimsy/touchy to work in different ports?

Comments about Crucial 1GB, USB Flash Drive, USB Flash Drive,:

Probably one of the best USB drives around. Tiny but spacious on the inside. I use it to communicate with the PCs in our house from my Mac laptop, and it works pretty seamlessly. It's been months of consistent use and never a hiccup. Because of its size, it is pretty flimsy though. I worry about breaking it or losing it occasionally. Still...
Thanks for the hookup Crucial!

The amount of data that this device stores has been plenty for everything I have needed so far. The Gizmo itself is amazingly small. The only concern is the fear of damage. Since it is so small you are constantly fearful that it will break or get lost.

Some people do not believe that something that small can carry a Gig. I have to hide it when not in use so that people who see it don't think it is a toy or a misc piece of plastic and throw it away.

Those who see it work want to borrow it all the time.

Where did I put that?
By PoyerdudeVerified Purchaser from Vero Beach, Fl on 8/5/2008
Pros:
Small
Cons:
A little too small
Bottom Line:
No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Comments about Crucial 1GB, USB Flash Drive, USB Flash Drive,:

The first thing that strikes you about this flash drive is just how SMALL this thing is. I looked at it and thought, "Whoa, spygear!" Its cool factor wore of rather quickly though when it got mixed up with some papers on my desk and I had to search for it for a solid five minutes. The truth of the matter is I'm not smuggling secrets out of an enemy state, and now I can't even find the thing. Too small to be practical in my opinion.

Comments about Crucial 1GB, USB Flash Drive, USB Flash Drive,:

This was a toss-in with a memory upgrade for my Macbook. I plugged it in and the Mac never recognized the flash drive. It might as well have been a tiddly wink. No better luck with my iMac. So either this flash drive doesn't work with Macs, or it doesn't work at all.
