This product comes in a few different sizes: 128MB, 256MB,
512MB, 1GB, and 2GB. Currently there is no 4GB
version which is a little disappointing considering other
companies already have 4GB models available. I will be
looking at the 1GB version. There are many flash drives on
the market and most are USB2 and very compact. So when
deciding which one to get there are lots to choose from.
Please note, this drive is
USB 1.1
and USB 2.0
compatible.
This high-speed USB2 flash drive is light and small as
well. Measuring a tiny
68mm (L) (with protective cap on) x
7mm (H) x 20mm
(W). Thankfully it's width doesn't interfere with other USB
devices in an adjacent port.
The outside of the drive is
plastic and it comes in a silver color.
The plastic feels a little cheap. Some other flash drives on
the market have a rubber or aluminum outside. The Crucial company logo is on one
side along with the flash drive storage size. The other side
has the product name and USB2 shown. I believe that
indicating the storage size in plain sight is not a good
thing. For theft reasons, indicating storage size out of
sight would be better. Let's face it, having a 2GB or larger
flash drive hanging around your neck might draw unwanted
attention. At the left there's a protective cap which
removes easily but is held securely enough into place. In
the center there's a red activity LED which flashes when the
drive is being accessed. At the right there's a place to
mount the included lanyard.
