was faster than i figured. i can get 30MB/s read.

is a good unit - have one for several months - fast - no problems

Agreed, this thing is nice. I wish that I could find a good deal on the 8GB version. Actually, I wish that Sandisk would make a SDHC reader that has a retractable USB connector.

I got this a while ago, and it's worked great. The slide-in design is a lot nicer than a cap(which always gets lost). Additionally, it seems to be fairly durable. Mine has been through the washing machine and dryer a couple times, and it's still working fine.

Also, I removed the U3 software shortly after getting it.

I've used this for 2 years and I like the drive and the mechanism. My only complaint is that it is slower than I'd like, though I recognize that I'm picky, since I use it probably 50 times a day at work. I recently bought the titanium version for $45 shipped at buy.com and its much quicker though I don't like how noisy it is on a keychain. If they'd just make a faster one in 8 ro 16gb in the black plastic it would be perfect rather than their new kinda stupid (but fast and 8gb) slider one that you can't even hang from a keychain.

I have an 8gb I got off ebay(probably stolen) for 35$ and I can't live without it!

Got this a few weeks back at about the same price. It's a decent price for a 4gb.

$35 can buy 8GB

I have same one, no problems at all
I like it from store, because if you have problem with it, you just go the store and exchange it, while online is all kinds problems, like shipping and confirmation number

Good buy no problems with this

if any of you are costco members or know one,
