Great USB Flash Drive

This little thing is wonderful to have. You can fit it almost anywhere and 4G of storage is plenty (these days anyway) for most home and professional users. Speed is a little slow compared to other USB drives, but that's fine unless you need speed. I didn't buy it for the speed, so it's irrelevant for me. I bought it for the size and the functionality and the storage capacity for the money, all of which I am very pleased with. I would highly recommend this to anyone who didn't have speed as a chief concern. It's very durable, well designed, compatible with every machine I've put it into and comes with a quality brand name. You can't really ask for more, especially when the price is this good.

Small but slow

As others have said, it's slow. It max'es out at 5 MB/sec, write or read, which is fine for small Word files but not for a pile of jpgs you want to transfer to another computer. It's very tiny and stylish, though. If you've got large hands, you may find it too small to use conveniently.

Don't buy it because of the compression software, however. That overhyped capability is useless. The only thing I could find that it compressed more than 10% was a mostly-text database file. Jpgs don't compress at all (figured that), but I was surprised it couldn't compress TIFF and only slightly compressed MS Office files. Zip compresses about 2X more than the Sony compressor, on the DB file.

This is one of the first times I've been disappointed in a Sony product. My original Sony Micro Vault 128-MB USB 1.0 would read/write at 1 MB, so I expected five years later they could do better than 5X on USB 2.0. On the other hand, you could fit at least 32 of these 4-GB MV Tiny's into the same space as my original MV, so that's about a 1,000X reduction (improvement) in volume per byte.

I'm keeping it, just because of the tiny factor.
