Customer Review

I bought this really very small and convenient stick about 1 year ago for my navigator and was also almost daily use. (Manufacturing date 07/09 is on the stick). Has also worked perfectly. Til today. Suddenly my navigator no longer recognizes the drive and also on the PC while a removable storage device is detected, it can be accessed one but no more ... :-( am very, very disappointed! This experience had probably already make more people like me here have read. Can therefore only confirm and advise against the purchase. Sorry!
Now I have to willy-nilly around for something else, this stick will not come to me at any rate in the house! Quite cheap he is not still ...

(!) Supplement for Data Recovery:
In another manufacturer of USB flash drive format I've read that there is in such sticks a micro SD card and this will in most cases continue to operate. So I have my Snippy opened with a small screwdriver (The metal bracket is easy aufzubiegen).
And indeed, it is a Class 4 MicroSD card to the fore, which can be pulled out with a bit of tweaking and careful Gebiege the USB stick. This then in an appropriate SD card reader adapter inserted shows full functionality !!!
So it seems to somehow be only at the contacts for Micro-SD card. But the USB flash drive is now broken and no longer use. For the contents of the micro SD card is retained and it is fully operational. After all, a small consolation ...
