Having already professionally working with 4GB counterpart, and I am thrilled by the speed and robustness of the sticks, I have now decided to use my private concerns for the 16GB edition of the same series. My USB flash drives are daily directly from me, in the trouser or jacket pocket, in your backpack or even in the travel bag. That's why I pay attention to a robust body and cover mechanism. This series comes with not labbe engined plastic lid which sooner or later falls anyway or even lost. The sliding mechanism is the better alternative for me. The 16GB stick fast, like the 4GB counterpart. Backups my operating system, the music collection and personal documents ending up in a few seconds to a few minutes back on my stick and again. Only alone, but to cope with quite, the shortcoming is that I could not ordered with a Leuichtfarbe the big stick. Black or dark blue is normal. And I tend to like to move my stick. Since I find the yellow and green of the smaller memory sticks advantageous.
