Tiny and Unreliable |

After having owned one of these for a few months, it died. It sat unused for 6 months and then when I connect it to the computer it isn't recognized. Formatting doesn't work, and Sony's special format tool doesn't work. My SanDisk on my keychain has been abused, dropped, and kicked around for over 4 years without issue and this one sat in storage for six months and it's dead. |

Not actually 4 gigabytes |
This is a 2 GB drive with fancy compression software. Don't waste your money.
Once the (Windows) compression program is deleted, it will only hold files as large as 2 Gigabytes, even though it still reports that it can hold 4 Gbs, even after being reformatted. I discovered this by attempting to copy a 3 GB file--it consistently failed after copying 2 GBs.
It's also (not surprisingly) very slow.
What a waste! I returned mine. |

Very small, but... |
I love the small form factor of these tiny usb drives; but, I really hate how very slow they are. The throughput is extremely slow compared to all the other usb drives I have. I have Sandisk, A-Data, Ativa, Verbatim, and a no-name usb drives and all are many times faster than my 4gb Sony Micro Vault. To load up 3-4 gigs, it takes several hours. To do the same on my 4gb Sandisk or 8gb A-Data, it is less than an hour.
My tech experience is very high. My testing was done on a Vista Ultimate 64bit laptop. I also have 2 2gb Sony Micro Vaults and they are just as slow. But at 2gb, it was not such a big deal.
If you just want something very tiny, then this is ok. But if you really also are concerned with performance, then buy something else. I recommend Sandisk.

after 5 months mine is dead |
When I saw this thing in the store I had to have it. I got it for $35 at best buy. when I first started using it I noticed it was really slow! I dont think this is a very useful 4GB drive. I think my DSL is faster!
After about 5 months of using it 2-3 times a week it died. when I plug it into any computer it told me the device was not formated. I tried to format it but it would fail. I went to Sony's web site and there is a format tool to fix this problem but the tool failed. I called sony and they said it was a bad sector and thats why it will not format. I ask if this was a factory defect and they told me NO and that they would not replace it!!! After arguing with them for 45 min they said I could ship it to them for a replacement as long as I provide the receipt from 5 months ago.
This might be the worst $35 I have spent. |
