Not only are these premium flash drives aggressively fast at transferring files of all types and sizes, but are optimized for Windows Vista Ready Boost, offering true performance advantages to this latest operating system. ATV flash drives feature durable and colorful rubber tread housing, which is a 100% weatherproof storage solution to keep digital files safe in any conditions, even fully submerged in water. The attached cap holder will help prevent misplacement of the protective key cover, while the chain can easily fasten to your key ring for ultimate portability.

Works great . Yep, it's a flash drive. Liked it so much I bought another one. Looks cool and has pretty good I/O speeds. Coated with a grippy colorful rubber exterior and has a BRIGHT orange activity light. The only downside is the chain that holds the cap holder. It opens easily. I made the mistake of putting the drive on my keyring and almost lost the drive when the chain broke.

OCZ, OCZUSBATV8G, ATV USB Flash Drive 8GB Reviews
Great drive for the price. . The price for this drive is now down where it should be. Previous reviewer was correct, and I bought mine months ago elsewhere.
Drive is well-build. Seems reasonably fast. The cap does not snap on, it is friction fit. Because the entire stick is covered with a rubberized material and is quite 'grippy', I have had the cap come off of it a few times taking it out of my pocket. Something to be aware of.
Oddly, the light stays on the entire time it's plugged in. It flashes when written to, then just stays on. Not sure if it's suppose to do that or not.
I was looking for a durable USB stick to carry around wherever I go and I like this one very much.

Flash drive not as good as I hoped . The flash drive works fine but the cover will not stay on. I got this for my daughter for school thinking it would stand up to the rough handling that we needed. But with the cover not staying on I ended up buying her a different flash drive.

Could have lasted longer . This flash drive more than fulfilled my transfer and temporary storage needs for a solid two years.
It wasn't the fastest drive but it was more than adequate. The rubber casing protected it from drops and a light drizzle but beyond that it left something to be desired.
There were a few occasions when moisture made it's way into the casing but nothing that effected the performance.
My only complaint with the drive is that after two years of not heavy usage the usb plug split from the flash memory module. I spot welded it back on but it was gone.
Luckily at that point I was in the market for a larger drive and I am now using the LaCie XtremKey 16 GB All-Terrain USB 2.0 Flash Drive 131076 a beautifully designed drive with a real sense of physical toughness.

Plug it in and it works nice package . I use this device to transport work files between home and work. It is a USB Stick. Not much more to say. Plug it in and it works! The little rubber cover is a nice touch. Works well, nice package, decent price, fastest USB transfers I have experienced. I haven't used some of the faster devices which are also sold by OCZ but this one will transfer ~4Mb as fast as I need to. I like it.
Awesome product! Best Performance Pen drive on the market . Installed Linux OS on the pen drive and run smoothly thanks to the great write/read speeds.
Almost as advertised... . Received the flash drive on time and it performed as advertised. It is physically durable and performs very well.
Issue: The drive is substantially thicker than it appears. For those with systems that have the USB ports stacked one above each other you will find that using both ports when using this flash will be a tight fit. I typically plug my external HD (standard USB cable plug) in the bottom port and this drive in the top. The two items sit snug against each other. If you pull on the flash drive to remove it, due to the coating and the snug fit it will pull out the other connection with it.
Other than this I recommend this product to anyone looking for a good physically durable flash drive.

Cons Review
Piece of Junk!!!!!! . Although toted as a durable piece of technology, this is definitely not it. The rear of the stick seems flexible at first. So when I got the stick I wanted to test its durability. But upon flexing it 90 degrees, I heard a crunch. There went my LED, it didn't even flicker when inserted into the comp. At least the stick was still functionally.
A few weeks go by and as I removed the rubber tip from the stick, the metal rectangular sleeve comes apart with it. So now I'm stuck a rubber tip, the metal jacket, and the rest of the stick which has 4 prongs sticking out of it. I am not heavy handed or anything like that, but this stick was a miserable failure.
Sure it looks cool and its covered in rubber, when working Im sure the LED is a nice touch. But we warned, this unit will break on you if handled even remotely rough. The problem with the rubber tip is, it sticks to the metal sleeve when you take it on and off, and after a while the metal sleeve will just come off with tip. So although the stick did operate in terms of data storage and transfer, I cannot give it a good review based on its performance and overall durability.

Just after the return window closed it broke . We purchased three of these USB flash drives, which had been recommended to us as being extremely sturdy.
A few days after the Amazon "return window" closed--and after a maximum of ten insertions and removals from the USB slot---one of the drives left its usb "plug" in the slot when we tried to remove the flash drive. The USB plug had to be removed from the computer's USB slot with pliers since not enough was sticking out to grab with fingers. And, due to Amazon's "fantastic" return policy, we can't return the drive. Handy for Amazon, eh?
If you are looking for a trouble-free, sturdy USB flash drive, well, you may want to keep looking---these don't seem to qualify. When one out of three items purchased fails after ten uses, it is not my idea of a good-quality product.
This is the LAST time I purchase anything like this from Amazon. At least, until they change their return policy. I guess I'll see if the manufacturer is any better at customer service (than Amazon).

Don't Waste Your Money . 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.
