Update - Picked my two drives up last night from OM. They are tiny and work fine, and as posted, the transfer times are slow, even for a usb 2 device. I got about 7mb write and 15mb read on a single 8 gig xbox iso I used to test. For me, since the plan is to load up my Insanity/Asylum/P90X/Tapout workouts all on one drive and use it with my WDTV live it is not an issue. If I was using this semi-frequently for data transfer, I could not tolerate the speed.

4 MB/s write is typical for generic/basic USB 2.0 flash drives. I would recommend paying a little more for a faster drive. Best case scenario (large files) with this drive it would take about 4-5 hours to fill it. With smaller files you should just start the copy and go on vacation.
To err is human, to arr is pirate.

Bought one yesterday for store pickup, and picked it up earlier. So far - pleasantly surprised. Reformatted to NTFS, and getting 11.7mb/sec write speed when copying large files, per Windows 7 file copy window. 50 gigs in about an hour 15. Not bad for $26 otd.
The only issues are - no status LED whatsoever (although it's a plus if you're using it with a media or bluray player with a front USB port. Flashing LED then is just distracting). Also, it's not a push-release push-retract (like a ballpoint pen). The front part just slides back and forth, so you have to hold the back part when inserting it into the USB port. Still, I promised myself not to buy anymore thumb drives with caps, and this is reasonably speedy and adequately capless.
