 Don't Waste Your Money November 25, 2008
Poorly designed. The item is a flash drive in a rubber sleeve. USB broke solder points under minimal use. I had to hyper extend the drive to make and keep connection long enough to retrieve data. Thankfully it wasn't full.
 Great product November 24, 2008
This is a great little USB drive. It is fast, and given its storage size it's a good thing it is. The rubberized coating has a neat rubbery feel, and it seems to protect the drive well. I'm not a huge fan of the cap holder though. I think it would be better if they let you stick the cap on the back end of it, or something. The chain has come apart at the connector for me, however that was in a bag, so it was fine, and I just re-attached it. Given its size and speed, I would definitely recommend this over all the other sticks I've used. You should also realize that this isn't tiny, but it doesn't interfere with other things plugged into the neighbor port.
 Slow VMs November 10, 2008
Great Capacity but, if you're thinking of using it to hold Virtual Machines you'll find that accessing these machines will be very slow as compared to an external HDD either powered or not-powered. Other then that 'I love it'...
 Fast, but NOT for Mac OSX November 4, 2008
I have a Corsair 8GB GT Flash Voyager USB Flash Drive, that I love, but it's starting to be too small for the work I do.
When I saw the reviews of the 16GB GT, I was sad they are using different chips inside. Slower chips.
SO...
I did all the research, and decided to buy the "True Plug and Play (Compatible with MAC OS X)" OCZ product.
It is very nice on my PC (This is why it gets 3 STARS), but I bought it for both the PC and the Mac.
Here is the latest from the OCZ support:
"Comment: hi - i think you can get drivers for your mac on the mac website i am not sure if we have drivers on our website. "
I searched all over the place. There are no drivers... anywhere.
Besides... having to download drivers is hardly "True Plug and Play".
If anyone got this to work on a Mac, please comment, and let me know how.
 Great Support from OCZ November 4, 2008
I have worked with usb drives for 6 years. I have owned 6 usb drives. This was by far the largest. I received my first ocz 32gb drive and copied 6gb of data to it the first night. I was impressed with the speed. The next day, the drive died. It was not recognized as a formatted drive by any of my 4 pcs. After contacting support from the OCZ forum, I received prompt attention but noticed this situation has happened frequently with this product. I received a tool to reformat the product, but lost the 6gb of data(unrecoverable even with recovery software). After reformatting, the drive was painfully slow. I lost another 600 mb of files the next day. I was told by support at the OCZ forum if the format was not successful, they would replace the drive. I saw this on the forum a lot also. I was able to get a quick RMA from Amazon.I sent the drive back and am waiting for my refund from amazon. I would have given it 1 star, but due to the excellent and quick support from OCZ I gave it 2 stars.
