Sony 32GB Micro Vault M-Series USB 2.0 Flash Drive, White (USM32GM/W)

I ordered 2 of these and decided to cut one of them open for a project I was working on. All I needed was the chip inside. So I cut along the two seams in the plastic very carefully until it was thin enough to snap apart. I was extremely pleased to discover compact flash memory chip inside was a SanDisk made chip. I tossed the plastic shell and my project worked with great success. I just thought I'd share my discovery with other Amazon shoppers who were considering buying this drive and wondered who made the flash memory inside. SanDisk is about as reliable as the sun rising. The drive I didn't slice open is serving me well. I wear it on a neck band on my neck every day when I was in school and now every day at work. I work in the IT field as a computer technician. The plastic connector doesn't bother me. It's not "flimsy" as others have falsely claimed. I cut through the plastic myself. I should know if it's flimsy or not. It's not. It holds up to use and abuse just fine. I've transfered 28 gig sized files to and from the drive before. The read and write speeds are pretty good for a drive of this size. Normally the larger drives like the older patriot rage drives have faster transfer speeds. But, they're so large they take up too much space in your USB hub or on the side of your computer. You need a flash drive to be under a certain size so it doesn't interfere with your cables or so you can plug several of them into 3 USB slots that are all right next to each other. This drive is the perfect compromise between size and speed. It's slim enough to fit into any cluster of USB plugs and devices. Excellent drive for the money. I can highly recommend it.

When buying this, I bought it for my Macintosh as a Boot Camp Windows 7 boot USB drive. I'd previously read in a forum that this brand and type worked fine, and unfortunately it did not work well with Boot Camp. However, seeing as there was nothing advertised about boot camp and it works great as a thumbdrive otherwise, 5 stars. The size is a pro and a con; in one hand, it fits in my wallet and is with me wherever I go. In the other, it's easily lost if you're not careful. All around, great buy for the price and a good product. It didn't happen to work for boot camp, but that happened with other thumb drives and I got the same error, so it's definitely not the thumbdrive--I would definitely recommend this product.

I'd had this thing for 11 years now, and it still works as if it was new. I bought it in 2015 and it's still kicking. It can transfer a little slow, if u have a big file size, but still good for what u pay. I love the design as well, it's so compact.

This drive has a bulky plastic shell over it compared to other Micro Vault drives made by Sony. I purchased this a replacement for one i have had in my wallet for years. The lack of pictures concerned me, those concerns were proved justified as the USB port is of a standard size, not especially thin. The good news is the the core of the flash drive can be pulled out of the plastic case with a little force. This leaves a very thin, very functional drive similar in size to older micro vault flash drives. The chips aren't protected by plastic anymore once separated but it suits my needs perfectly.

Great keychain USB drive! Very durable and reliable. I lost and found my 8GB version of this drive after dropping it in a snowbank next to a busy road... Several months later, after the snow and salt had melted and washed away, I found the drive! I popped the internals out of the plastic housing and didn't see any corrosion, so I tried it in my computer and it still works good as new! Amazing considering our harsh & salty MN winters. I've been using this 32GB version for a few months and have been just as pleased. I only wish it included a keychain leash like the Kingston drives do.

I generally buy these for price, not speed, and it's as speedy as any other USB stick I've bought (usually Cruzer Micros). I mostly use it to transfer MP3 files between my home and work PC. The port entry "feels" flimsy, but really isn't. At least, it's very thin, flexible plastic, but is pretty sturdy. I haven't had any problems carrying it in my pocket. Time will tell. I'm very pleased with its size and performance for having paid only 12 bucks.

This is an amazing product. It is small slim and fast and does not require too much power. I should have given it 5 Stars as perfomance wise it is the best. I have knocked two stars off as the plastic used at the side where you insert to the USB port, has broken after a few times usage. Am now worried that the bottom portion might also break and will render the stick unusable.

I have been buying these sony micro flash drives for years and they are excellent. price, space available, easy to use and quality. I have had some for over 10 years and they still work fine. I keep mine stored in an empty yellow plastic medication pill bottle so they wont get lost while traveling however.

Son 32 gigas en tamaño muy pequeño y formato elegante. Me parece un buen producto de Sony. Lo encuentro recomendable.

Very good! Worked as I expected

utilizzo molto queste chiavette per la loro affidabilità e prestazioni. I tempi di lettura e scrittura sono buoni , mai avuto problemi di perdita di dati. L'unica pecca che si può fare è sulla durata della plastica che a lungo andare si rovina nella zona dell'attacco alla porta usb del pc. Per il resto nulla da dire.

Also ich würd sagen das der stick den sony qualitätsstandard wiedergibt obwohl der stick so winzig ist merkt man den unterschied der quali, hatte vorher einen intenso und naja, er hat seinen zweck erfüllt. Ich empfehle den kauf dieses sticks auf jeden fall.

I am satisfied with the product
