The stick is very fast. I have copied data to the stick and downloaded again and has achieved the following average transfer rates: upload 3.3 MB / s; Download 8.8 MB / s. Who can do without gimmicks like capes ribbon and blue flashing light, is the part of his friends (at least with WinXP, other operating systems can not judge). The only catch: only 489MB (= 512 million bytes) capacity and not 512MB. Nevertheless great product with great value for money. Therefore 5 stars.
