While I normally would agree with some of the negative comments posted, there are a few caveats to the negative comments.

1. The so called "annoying" features come in rather handy when you lose your drive. This is exactly the reason I ended up buying this thing and I plan on subscribing to all these services. I had all my data including my Roboform 2 go log in data and lost my drive. I don't have a backup on my work laptop, and I'm traveling so I won't have access to my back up until I return home. If I would have had this service, I'd already be back up and running because I can just buy a new drive (like i just did) and it would sync everything back up. What a lifesaving convenience.

2. U3 and the U3 apps are quite useful. Anytime I go to a PC without Firefox, without my favorite Editors, I have a quick and easy way to launch using the U3 Launchpad. I don't have to go digging in folders stored on the drive to launch a u3 copy of Firefox.

3. Backup is great, but background/transparent backup is even better. This drive backs itself up automatically. Yes, this is a pay service, it comes with a 6 month free trial, and yes, I definitely think its worth it. You don't have to remember to do anything. Especially considering that you will most likely lose your drive when you least expect it. When you do, the first thing that comes to your mind is to try to remember what important stuff you had on it. Now you don't have to worry about it.

4. Boomerang-It provides a free 1 or 2 year subscription. This is a little tag that you attach to the drive with a serial number on it. If you lose the drive some one can call the 800 number toll free or log in to the website and type in the serial number and return it to you. The way I see it, something is better than nothing, if some one finds your drive and decides to keep it, there's nothing you can do about that. But at least this way if they do decide to be honest and return it for a small reward, then at least you are providing an easy way for them to do so anonymously. Perhaps a lost and found department at an airport can use it to notify you that they have found your item, and you don't have to disclose any personal information about yourself to get your lost item back. In retrospect, I wish I had this on my lost Cruzer.

Like I said, I usually agree with the posters here on excess junk software. But in this case the few utilities that this drive comes with, IMHO are well worth it.

This Flash Drive has Big Storage and is pretty much Indestructable! Built in Virus protection is a plus, as is ease of use. I now have 2 of these, and love the fact you can take whatever you store with you!

We love this. It is great quality for the price we paid. i would encourage any one to buy this you will not be disapointed.

I'm not satisfied with this product, first of all the packaging was too difficult to open i had to get a huge scissors to open it, then when i do the product look great, but then i'm looking for the Lanyard and its NOT THERE , i was like WHAT how am i to keep track of this tiny flash drive, next, i hooked it up to my computer and then when the light comes on its like the flash drive is cracked or not fitted properly cause i see all in it. But, its never let me down performance its great just those two issues im not happy about.

Sadly I have washed and dried the 4GB Titanium flash drive twice. I got really upset the first time as I thought there goes a wasted investment. To my surprise it worked as if nothing happened at all. In short the drive is a life saver and it's very durable. The one problem I had was that the slide out contact sometimes doesn't lock properly and you have to fidget with it to get it to slide/lock into the USB port correctly.
