HP V250W USB 2.0 32 GB Pen Drive

I bought this 32 GB pen drive. Received it on time, in good condition and very well packaged. nnThe pen drive is made of shining metal, small and trendy good looking. Though made of of metal, I doubt if it would last the rough use that my old plastic 1 GB transcend has gone through. It is almost 6 years now, still running as if it were new, the plastic is discoloured and logo has long been gone, washed many times, dried many times and still running :)nnComing back to this good looking HP pen drive, i dropped it, first I felt bad but later I realised though looking sturdy but metal get dented and this is no exception. The hook portion is little dented. nnPerformance: I copied 2.6 GB of JPEG and RAW image files on Windows and 860 MB of MP3 on Linux. I am getting close to 7 MB/s on Windows and close to 8MB/s on Linux. nnThe performance is not bad at all, it is better than my 6 year old drive but could have been better. nnThis is my initial review, yet to format this drive and use it with different PCs and if the performance is any better will update this feed back. Overall 4 stars out of 5

This is made of full steel body, with a hook, where you can attach a strap or something like that. The build quality is super awesome. Size is not the smallest but it is quite small as compared to others. Price is OK OK.nnIn brief:nnPROS:nn1. Build quality is very good.nn2. Size is also quite small.nn3. Transfer speeds are normal USB 2.0 speeds.nn4. Easy to use. Hook for attaching a strap.nnCONS:nn1. If it would be a USB 3.0 then no other product could beat this one. But you have to shed more of your money. :(nnFINAL VERDICT:nnBAG IT IF YOU CAN DO WITH USB 2.0 SPEEDS. ELSE EVERYTHING IS PERFECT. YOU WOULD LOVE IT.
