Customer Reviews

Stay away! - UPDATED!! - NO STARS
I've always stuck to the major brands on USB sticks and never strayed away from them when it comes to memory. A co-worker of mine actually had this exact one and he was pleased with it's performance. Therefore, I went for it and purchased this one off of Amazon.

The price was right so I'd give it 3.5 stars but I can't do that so I'll leave it at 3. The performance on this stick is pretty slow. I've tried to reformat it and a few other things with no success of improving write speed. When testing it against my 2GB PNY memory stick I found the PNY got 125mb/minute via a robocopy command while this 4GB EP memory stick only wrote at 102MB/minute. Not a huge deal to most and some won't even notice the difference but if you're writing some big files, which I do alot, it will take up some time over the course of the day.

I'm doing a ~1GB file copy right now so I'll let you know the results...

819.MB took 42 minutes to write to the USB stick.
342.82MB took 43 seconds to read from stick and write to an IDE drive.

Pretty slow writes but good read. Get what you pay for I guess, it only cost me $[...] a couple weeks ago from this site, [...].

First the drive was slow and now it get's writes failures all the time. I have reformatted and used MANY tools to reformat so the drive is more stable. I went to the manufacturer who sent me the USB stick and wrote them an email, because a phone number is not located on their website. It's just a help desk webpage where you log your technical issues and your customer service issues. To make this short, lots of run-around wiht email saying there is nothing they can do for me. First they said 30 days to return it and then they came back with 12 days so it was too late for me to send it back. I thought the USB drive was slow but NO, it's faulty and there is nothing I can do about it. I've been purchasing items on the internet for about 7 years now and have never received such poor customer service in my life. Things have been damaged from tools to rugs to many different items. Most have wanted to make the customer happy and help out. Unfortunately, NOT these guys. I will find the company name who sold this to me...once second:

[...] who was the reseller of this item.

bottom line, I received a faulty item and they won't help me even REPLACE it for another. That's low down, if you ask me.

it really is mac compatible
I just got this a week ago, and it's been great. Using this drive on my macbok, it tells me how much space is left. Also, the eject arrow shows up so it's simple to disconnect. My geek squad drive doesn't do that. The size is great too. I used it to transfer a dozen large tiffs, and had room to spare.

ACP-EP Memory 4 GB USB 2.0 Mini Flash Drive
Product has worked well for me. The only reason I didn't give it a 5 was that I prefer the LED to be off when the drive isn't being accessed versus the always on as it is.
