I've bought a big stack of these that I keep in the shop. They're great for odd little jobs like reinstalling an OS, playing MP3s in the car, or giving away to clients/family/random strangers. I don't notice a difference in speed vs my usual Kingston and Corsair drives. You really can't go wrong for the price. I've used them with PCs, Macs, Xbox360, Playstation 2 and 3 - works everywhere!There is one minor annoyance, and it might just be the batch I got, but if I leave them plugged in and reboot, they freeze at the BIOS screen. It always works fine from a cold boot, or if you reinsert it, so it's perfectly usable, but not good for leaving in a machine 24/7, like for example a server that boots from USB. Really just a minor nuisance, and if you're building a server, you can probably afford a name-brand flash drive to go with it :)
