I am so impressed by this device. I've used in at work and at home (XP Home & Win 2k) and it installed in a matter of seconds. I was told to always make sure that you "unplug or eject" the device prior to removal to ensure no loss of memory. I've never booted with the device attached, I always use it after it's already booted.

I had to give a presentation at a local university and I put my power point presentation on this device and simply plugged it into one of the students laptops. There are so many uses for such a product.

The only negative is with security concerns. I suspect that over time many large companies will find ways to block these types of devices. Also, this card does not have build in security or encryption of the data. Bottom line is this is the floppy drive killer!

Forget about carrying your zip drive around. This device can hold 256 MB, and fits in your pocket. At home, you can use this device to store all of your personal private files instead of your hard drive. When you're done saving, viewing, and manipulating your personal files, you can simply put the drive in your pocket and take your files with you. That way, even if you share your computer, no one else can access your files. Your files will be safe even if someone steals your computer. This method is more secure than keeping your private files in your hard drive, no matter the security settings you have on there. The best way to keep your files private is to simply not store them on your computer. Instead, use a device like this and take your files with you. This device is so small that you can keep, secure, or hide it just about anywhere. In appearance, it looks like a small highlighter. I highly recommend this storate device to anyone who is interested in maximum privacy, security, and portability.

I often transfer files from my work computer to my home computer and vice versa. My company won't buy computers with CD Burners, and the floppy disk drive capacity is too small to be of any use, so I would have to use an external Zip drive and move it back and forth to get the files I needed. Not anymore. This very small device pops into a USB port (it works with 1.1 and 2.0 ports) and is recognized immediately by the PC (unless you have Windows 98, which requires a driver to be installed). It acts like a second hard drive and you can use Windows Explorer to copy files to the device. And it weighs next to nothing. It looks like a thich pen and has a clip and I keep it with my pens in my briefcase.

This device comes in various sizes (I've seen 128MB, 512Mb and 1GB in addition to the 256MB version I bought), so you can buy one to suit your needs!
