Customer Reviews

Good - but too big
If you like this idea, then check out the other key by Lacie. It is a smaller design and works more as an actual key for the key ring. This one is just too big. The triangular part is really a pain ....

For me, I am a guy, it is just too big for keys in the pocket. I gave it to my wife, who likes it - but that is because her keys are stored in her purse ...

No more lost USB key
I bought this usb key because I lost my previouse one witch has also been through the wash several times. With this one it stays on my key chain witch helps me keep track of it. It's larger than some however is about the size of a standard car key. It's metal case makes it pretty durable. However, there are some cons. First the printing on the key is easily scratched off witch leaves it looking more worn than it actually is. Second is if you leave the usb key along with the rest of your keys plugged in at work and car pool to work, there is a possibility that you will be left without keys for a weekend. If only there was technology to fix my flaky memory.

itsalifesaver!
this is a wonderful product! i have pc's at work and at home but my personal computer is a mac. i love the seamless transition of files from pc to mac using this! it's automatically recognized by both platforms without having to upload any sort of special program on either pc or mac! my husband's pc was able to download files that my mac could not and so after downloading onto HIS computer, i was able to plug this in and upload those files into the key and then take the key and plug it right into my mac and download the files from the key. i transfer large movie files, music files and pictures and haven't had issues with running out of space on this 8gb key. it also transfers quite rapidly both ways! i love it. AND it works just like my ipod 1st gen shuffle when i plug it into my work pc. i can play the mp3 files straight from the key when i plug it into the usb port. wonderful. just plain wonderful. not to mention it's pretty durable, i definitely carry it around on my keychain. it's the perfect solution to transferring files from a pc to a mac fast and easy.
