Great for the price - quality of form factor is a little suspect
Pros
Small and form factor, no caps to lose, fast transfers.
Cons
Low quality plastic feel.
Recommended it?
Yes
The Bottom Line:
Despite the low quality plastic feel of the parts, it performs well. I would recommend it given its large size (2GB) in relation to its cost (about $110).
The JetFlash 110 2 GB Flash Drive is about the size of a pack of gum. It is light and thin, and it will not block a USB port that is above/below the one it is plugged into. However, if a space issue does arise, it comes with a separate short USB extender cord so that you can plug the cord into the port on the computer, and then plug the JetFlash into the cord. The JetFlash comes with a mini-CD with some utilities and drivers, but I don't use them at all. It is also packaged with two lanyards - one for your neck, and one for your wrist.
The JetFlash does not come with a cap to cover the USB interface on the unit when it's not in use. Rather, there is a slider on the side that you use to extend and retract the interface into the body of the unit. Because there are "moving parts," the case rattles a little bit, and doesn't feel that solid. I have a Cruzer Mini 1 GB Flash Drive, and that device feels well put together (i.e., no rattles) compared to the JetFlash. The JetFlash is about the same size and shape as the Cruzer Mini.
Out of the box, I plugged the JetFlash into my Windows XP machine, and the computer recognized the new device, and installed the appropriate drivers. After that, it was full speed ahead. Moving large files is pretty fast, and I was able to copy over 2 or 3 files totaling about 1 GB in 3-4 minutes. It's comparable in speed to the Cruzer Mini I have, although I haven't done a head-to-head comparison to see if there are any differences in speed, if any. However, my impression is that there is little, if any, speed differences between the two. During file transfers, there is a small blue LED that lights up on one side of the drive. However, it is very small, and difficult to see at times. The large LED at the end of the Cruzer Mini is much easier to see.
An earlier review commented that the JetFlash was slow in transferring many small files, and I have not much opportunity to test that aspect of the drive. However, on one occasion, I copied about 175 MB of smaller files from a laptop (comprised of mostly Word, Excel, and PowerPoint files), and that operation finished in just a few minutes.
