not in this 16 GB USB stick. the housing looks like cheap plastic. the retractable USB connector locks not working hard enough. I had ordered 2 sticks and the same problem. So it is no exception. once you get the plug with pressure loaded - such as when plugging into a USB port - is sunk in this case stick. The result is that the connector only half or not plugged into the terminal. the sticks were connected only when you have fixed the lateral slide with the thumb. This attitude is but for most USB ports very uncomfortable.
Added to this was that when the plug was bent sticks the screen (the metallumfassung the plug), which is a normal connect not already made possible.
on top of that are the sticks not overly fast. especially with such memory sizes, it is annoying when the stick then with a write speed of 3.5 MB / sec. comes along.
I have now bought a Transcend JetFlash 600 16GB Memory Stick USB 2.0 (Retail) instead. this is well made and has a write speed of 18MB / sec.
