Yes, even I have let verleite of the many positive reviews of the product for sale. The speed itself, I have not been tested and the stick so far eh used 2.0 ports (Dell Monitor 27 "and Dell Lattitude 6400 laptop) only on USB. For almost a week went well, I copied data easily when fully inserted stick back and forth . Well today was nothing, no reaction, no finding in the Device Manager (WinXP), not a single internal and external (docking station) USB port could see the stick. Even the withdrawal of 1-2mm, as described in some other reviews, does not work. The only thing I noticed is the lighting of the small blue LED when I plug the stick. For a brief moment when the two rectangular contacts the stick are covered, it flares up. Windows interssiert not.
Whether the stick may not get along with the USB 2.0, I can not test for lack of USB 3.0 port, but as one or the other review has already shown, there is obviously not only of the backward compatibility issues but generally with the quality of the sticks in every respect.
It annoys me animal, because now photos of my child are gone, I had not yet secured a clear conscience on another medium. The silence of the stick will probably no longer be remedied. Therefore, the drive goes back to Amazon, which, as usual, works quite well. The one-star rating deserves really only proportionally Amazon for the sale and redemption.
What happens to the data when the drive is returned? Perhaps there is only one contact between the interface and memory failures? If the sticks somehow reasonable destroyed so that no hobbyist can get access to it? Go defective sticks directly on to the manufacturer or is the stuff directly into the waste?
That could explain to Amazon again.
