4GB Mini TravelDrive U3 Smart Enabled USB Flash Drive
This review is from : Mini Traveldrive 4GB
U3 is a great feature. . It always kind of amazes me when people give a product a bad review because they didn't understand what they were buying. The description and packaging for this clearly states that it comes with the U3 technology and a 30 second Google search will tell you what U3 is all about. Memorex makes the very same drive without U3, why didn't you buy that? Anyway I find the U3 software great, it allow me to password protect the entire drives contents and transport applications with me for use on any PC. I have my Trillian IM client, Mozilla Thunderbird mail client and Firefox browser all running from the stick so when I get to work I have all my personal stuff and when I leave I take it all with me leaving nothing behind. I've used a 2GB version of this for over a year and just upgrade to this 4GB version and couldn't be happier. If you don't want or need the U3 features don't buy this product, get the regular 4GB version.
The other reviewers are right, Amazon is shipping a non-U3 version. They just recently updated the manufacturers part number to the non-U3 version but the description is still wrong. I just had to return my second shipment because it is not the U3 drive. This time I'm getting a refund and I'll buy it from someone who can get it right.

Mini Traveldrive 4GB Reviews
Not as advertised ... #2 . I've owned this product (the real U3 version) before. This mini drive and U3 apps, including the password protection are great. I can attest to that having recently lost my mini drive. I can't imagine someone getting their hands on my data. Having owned the product before I was disappointed when I ordered and received the regular version of the drive and not the U3 drive I ordered. Like the previous reviewer I have returned the product and I'm waiting for the seller to correct what I am assuming is an honest mistake. I will update and comment further on the return in the event the seller does not handle this situation.

Mini Traveldrive 4GB Opinions
Hate U3 but the drive is fine . Took out the U3 right away - I am not a fan. The drive is small and transfer rates were much faster that a 1GB cheap USB drive that I had purchased from MicroCenter.

Good Little Drive . Like the drive. It does what its made to do. I enjoy the intergrated light attached to the drive which blinks when you are accessing it. It lets you know its working. It includes a lanyard & a cap. The only downside is you have to be careful not to lose the included cap......put it in a safe place when using the drive.
Best USB drive on the market . USB drive's small size and convenient connection make them a breeze to use but the small size also makes them easy to misplace...which can spell disaster considering how much data you can store on one. This drive is one of the best I've seen because it takes away one of those risks with the best implementation of security that I've used on a USB drive. I rate it a top choice because of the easy-to-use, no-brainer security feature called "U3".
I've owned USB drives with built-in biometrics (fingerprint scanner) and other encryption options, though they might seem like slick solutions, in reality they were cumbersome and unreliable. What makes this drive special is its size and the U3 software. U3 is one of the first applications designed to autolaunch without double-clicking on a program contained on the USB drive. The drive has 2 partitions, one contains the bootable U3 software partition and the other is for data storage. I've had some clients confused by the two partions, but once you understand the config you will have no problems determining where to store your data (it won't let you store any data to the U3 partition so it will be real obvious which partition is for data storage). After the initial password setup you can just pop the drive into any PC and you are instantly presented with a password prompt on the screen, type your password to unencrypt the drive and off you go!

Cons Review
Be Careful . This is not a U3 drive. Too slow and it comes with a Portable Vault Software to encode the data. I think that i lose my money.
Negligent Seller: Not U3 Device . According to the product description, this was supposed to be a u3 device. Upon arrival, I quickly discovered it was not. I wasted time and money in purchasing this item and having to return it. Are sellers so stupid or lazy that they cannot accurately describe the items they sell?
Disappointed with Vendor . I ordered a 4GB Mini TravelDrive U3 through J&R Music in August 2007. I received a regular TravelDrive (not U3) within a week. I contacted J&R and returned the product, using their recommended carrier (UPS), within 3 days. UPS charged me $9.20 to ship the product, bringing my total shipping charges to over $15 for a $34 product. Needless to say I was a little miffed!. To add insult to injury the product was backordered so I had to wait a few week.... I just received my replacement product, and once again it is not a U3 TravelDrive. I am upset... I'm not going to waste any more of my time nor another $9.20 on J & R Music.
Not as advertised but ... . There are a ton of fake USB drives out there. This is not a fake, but it's also not a U3 device. Memorex makes two versions (not interchangeable) that look very similar. The U3 version is 32509383 this one is 32509389. This drive is incredibly SLOW as well! Think of it as a big floppy.
U3 is an incredibly useful feature with a little research you can install entire applications and then run them from another PC without installing anything on the 2nd PC. Great tool for techs!
I'm returning this device for the reasons stated. I'll consider this event an honest mistake by the seller (provided I get a refund without problems) I bought a U3 elsewhere already and chose a SanDisk because of the speed problem.
I may comment more on the return if there are any problems!
