Intenso 3506460 64GB Rainbow USB 2.0 Flash Drive - Orange

Roomy, and Good Value
I'd never heard of Intenso before today, so I thought I'd give them a try. This is a pretty good USB pen, which holds 4GB and is compatible with all the OSes available today, Linux, Mac and Windows.

This pen is quite slim - about as thick as the USB socket is, and has an easy to remove cap. There is a keyring holder at the back, so you can just put this with your keys for safekeeping, personally I wouldn't because it's easy to break them. The colour is more of a grey/green - but it doesn't say it's 4GB on it's body, which isn't good. Sometimes I use the size as an indicator of which pen to use.

The pen is easy to use, just put it in your USB socket and off you go. It allows you to store 3.87GB with the way Windows reports sizes, but you'll see it's 4,000,000,000 bytes.

You can store whatever you want, and you can even use it to transfer stuff to your PS3, and other devices. I even was able to transfer to my Freeview+ box. It should hold about...

Unreliable and slow
I bought this memory stick (not from Amazon) around 4 months ago because of it's large capacity. Right from the start I was disappointed by it's slow read and write speeds (on PC and Mac). It also dropped connection during large file transfers (became unaccessible from My Computer or Finder), which made it completely useless for what I wanted it for. And now it's totally broken - it shows up in My Computer but you can't access it, nor format it. As far as I can tell it's dead as a dodo.

I won't be buying another one of these. I'll go with bigger-brand sticks from now on.

Respectable Flash Drive
I've owned quite a few USB Flash Drives over the years, only to loose most of them. Other than this Intenso, I've used ByteStor, Buffalo and SanDisk Flash Drives. Unfortunately, I could only benchmark test the two I had, and found the results of the Cruzer from an external source (although, I will update this review if I find the others). Here are the results:

Great Product
smallest USB drive i have ever seen, means you can always carry it with you on your keys... and seems very durable, due to it not having the metal sheild around the connection like most usb's, previously i have experienced these things get bend and no longer fit the computer.

product is brilliant value for money!

even tinier than imagined
I bought this for my dad so he could transfer photos from the PC to a digital photo frame. Though the frame has slots for all types of photo cards, using a faster USB stick was preferable and less faff at the PC end. However, a typical USB flash drive would be so big as to stick out and be visible hanging off the side of the photo frame, so I looked for the smallest one available. I was still surprised when it arrived at just how tiny this thing is, and it ensures that it just stays out of sight.

One thing I was pleased to see is that on the back of the packet there is explicit reference to 'Linux 2.4.0 or higher' amongst the supported operating systems. There is no reason why the vast majority of USB flash drives would not work on Linux out-of-the-box, but it's good to see the manufacturer has bothered to list it anyway for buyers' peace of mind.

So far it seems to work fine, but requires insertion upside down on the PC USB port. There is a short cable supplied...

Excellent little thing
I have this on my key ring so that I always have a USB stick to hand.
Really small size and a really decent capacity.
Copied a single 2.23GB file from PC to USB in just under 5 mins.
Copied a single 2.23GB file from USB to PC in just under 1.5 mins.
Copied a 2.11GB folder holding 1,787 items in 9 folders from PC to USB in 15 mins.
Copied a 2.11GB folder holding 1,787 items in 9 folders from USB to PC in just under 2 mins.

Seems like pretty decent read/write speeds to me, especially for what looks like a sliver of plastic on my key-ring! :-)
