Finally Enough Storage

Pros: This thing is Great smaller than my Pocket PC and 20GB!!! It is rugged too all metal housing, no cheap plastic junk here. I will never use a thumb drive again.

Cons: Wish it had a small internal cable as opposed to the removable one. But That is very minor. Also a carrying case would be nice but hey a palm pilot case is only 10 bucks.

Get one. Or more...

Pros: Plug and play...bus-powered...NEVER A NEED FOR AN EXTERNAL POWER SUPPLY!!!

Cons: They don't come in larger sizes. The cord (I cannot just put one thing, the drive, in my pocket...you need the cord).
