Good value
os:
Windows XPGreat price for an 8Gb drive. Made of matt black plastic. It's very light, and the cap is a nice secure click-on fit. There's a small green led just behind the Freecom badge, and a VERY small hole for attaching a cord or keyring.
Databar
os:
Windows XPI bought one of these after purchasing a Freecom hard drive, as a more portable measure.
Cant believe you can actually store 8GB on here, I'm an architect and manage to fit all my work on here on daily basis
fantastic
Not USB 1.1 compat
To the person who asked why it doesnt work in a usb 1.1 port, I guess USB 2.0 in the title has something to do with it
advice
Please can anyone confirm if this device work with 1.1 port.
I got one and its doesn't work in my 1.1 port. WHY??
Its format with FAT32.. Does this mean that I need to format it to ONLY FAT16 (FAT).
please let me know. Thnaks

sorry forgot to say it works in my usb 1.1 hub but very slow about 2-3mbps.
formatted to NTFS file system under windows which was good.
It is USB 1.1 compatible
YES IT IS 1.1 COMPATIBLE. All USB 2.0 devices are 1.1 compaible - it's built into the spec. Usb 1.1 has a data transfer rate of 12Mbps as opposed to the 480Mbps of USB 2.0 so it will be slow.

os:
Windows Vistavery good very fast about 12-13mbps took me under 10 minutes to fill it,comes with free backup software already loaded onto the drive.
for the price it is a very good buy
USB2 - USB 1.1
Just a note - USB 2 is backward compatable with 1.1, so *theoretically* this should work in both - despite comments indicating otherwise on this page.
If yours doesn't work, I'd double check the connections and bung it in a different pc - maybe your device is duff?
Excellent Device
os:
Windows VistaI love this stick, it has quick acces times with a low profile, there is a hole on it to slide a noose through and attach it to whatever you like, and unlick other stick it doesnt come with any bloatware on it.
Speed test data for this USB drive
os:
Windows XPHaving got this drive, I assumed it would be super fast. On my Asus Centrino Duo (1.6GHz, 1GB DDR-667) laptop, using HD Tach test software from www.simplisoftware.com, the average read speed is 15.4Mb/sec burst, 15.2Mb/sec average.
So not brilliant, but not too bad. Would anyone else like to post their findings?
