First of all on pakaging it advertised-
Transfer speed of 25Mb/s
Write speed of 8Mb/s
Which are bulls* since maximum of what I actually got was
Transfer speed of 14Mb/s
Write Speed of 3~ 4 Mb/s
on an i5 4200U processor with 4GB RAM.
Maybe someone will able to use than 25Mbps and 8Mbps speed fully on an high end setup but this is all I got.
Anyways I am not a big fan of extremely high speed flashdrives since in most cases I, for sure, will lose them somewhere in future or they will break due to poor plastic used in the body.
The size of this pendrive ( 34mm in length) is just right for me to use.not too big to carry in my wallet.not too small to carry in wallet and drop accidently.
Since the design is rectriangular, with flat surfaces with no curves and small height it actually fit quite nicely in my wallet folds.
There is a handle on top to use it as a keyring which is the only difference between it and HP v210w but that handle dosn't feel that bumpy and is in fact suprisingly flat
As for robustness.the metal body is quite robust indeed.
I have dropped and stepped on it ( accidently) many times during my ownership and aside from a small crack in the round protuding handle at top no other performance issue has occured.
The handle might have broken after quite a lot of mishaps( but it held on for quite a long period) but I wasn't going to use it as a keychain anyways.
Now as for its performance as a flashdrive there is only one thing to say.its SLOW!
As stated above 4Mbps and 14 Mbps isn't exactly superfast and its 2.0 USB connection is somewhat to be blamed but I have seen Kingston Data travellers 2.0 and Sony SecureVault flashdrives perform much better.
Anyways if you want a mettalic fast flashdrive look into USB 3.0 flashdrives
So why did I buy this?
Simple for INR ~ 500the deal was too cheap to pass on
And I like me some metal tuff flashdrives.
The fact that I rarely tranfer large data ( >4Gb) on a day to day basis
this pendrive was perfect for me
