If this is not your environment, then please pass on this review. Otherwise, you would serve yourself well to share my experiences and testing. The rating of most of these devices will either be a 5-star or a 1-star depending on your environment, so I gave it a 3-star. (There was no problem with any of my 2.0 mini-drives when I tested them on WIN98 with USB 1.1 ports.) I'm not picking on any particular manufacturer.I'll go right to the bottom line and tell you that I've found that these drives may perform VERY poorly in Windows XP SP1. They will appear to perform well, compared with similar USB 1.1 drives, but only if you are copying a very small number of very large files. They will perform incredibly slowly compared to their USB 1.1 brethren, if you reverse the scenario and copy a directory of say 500 or more very small files. I'll provide the solution now and...

Not as a drive. Sony offer absolutely no help in fixing this problem. They are not accesible and could care less about this problem. Sony has shamed themselves with this product and disregard for those of us needing to resolve the issue.I now have an $80 stick that doesnot function and no way to fix it. 11 of 13 people found the following review helpful Fine at first and then...., By This review is from: Sony 256 MB USB 2.0 Micro Vault (Personal Computers) I used this thumb drive, provided by work, after working with a smaller (64mb) fujifilm one I had purchased myself. I was amazed by the untility of the thumb drive concept and thought a larger one would only be better. Retiring the fujifilm I transferred all of my files to the Sony. It functioned perfectly for several months leading me into a false sense of security. Until...One day at work the drive would not recognize as it should on a laptop. I tried it out on my workstation and it still seemed fine, big sigh of relief. I brought it home that night and plugged it into laptop and got an install screen for a security device. I tried installing it but with no success, and now it doesn't function on any computer. It seems that something internal to the drive had set the entire drive as a security device. I tried every thing I could find, eventually installing drivers from the original manufacturer(not sony as labeled, prolific technology makes it) Apparently there is a fix... Read more |
