Intenso 3502480 32GB Rainbow USB 2.0 Flash Drive - Transparent

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:
