Review: It is a pity that most USB flash drives nowadays come with software like this. Such software only works on Windows, and many of them don't work properly if you haven't got administrator access on the PC you put the memory key in. So this software is an irritating distraction if you use the USB drive to transfer data between your PC and your Linux box or your Mac, or a friend's PC on which you are logged in as Guest (the software won't work). Some of us just want capacity. Nothing more.
Pros: Capacity.
Cons: The software.
Score: 6/10
Rating: 2 people have rated this review helpful
