## Questions & Answers

**Q: Does this drive show up as removable storage of a local disk?**
A: Hope you don't mind, if I expand your question, Nick, to cover my new (hp) laptop's requirement for recovery file: "display as an external device in Windows" and "NOT branded as W-8 compatible". I like the reviews and size of this thumb drive. If it doesn't meet the above criteria, does anyone know which are compatible with HP Envy 2014 recovery sw? The perfectly fine, high quality 32 gb San Disk I purchased is not one, for starters! Running Windows 8.1. Thanks!

**Q: Difference between usb 2 and usb 3 thumb drive?  I have an older HP laptop, which would work?**
A: Typically a USB 3.0 port color is blue. It is backward compatible with USB 2.0. USB 2.0 ports are typically black or white in color. For this drive you need at least a USB 2.0 port. If you are unsure of your USB port version please check with HP.

**Q: Is it write protected?**
A: It should not be write protected.  Mine is not.  If the drive is new, it may be defective.  If it has been used and was not write protected in the past, it is possible that there is a virus.  There are some methods to remove write protect, but they vary based on what version of Windows you are working with.  There is an article on how to remove write protect at http://techchannel.radioshack.com/remove-write-protection-usb-drive-1673.htmlBut there is no guarantee.  The data could be corrupted, the drive may be defective or have contracted a virus.  If it was write protected when brand new, I would return it.

**Q: I am skeptical of plastic and key chain loops breaking.  how durable is this one. I am familiar with the kingston data traveller that is all metal.**
A: The loop has not broken as of yet. however I do not put much strain on it. I also own a kingston 32 GB datatraveler and it will not let me write data or format it... The HP still works great.

    So far five weeks so far so good.
  

*by M***E on Reviewed in the United States on February 11, 2015*

I had this drive for approximately 4 to 5 weeks now. I used it to save data on a daily basis and up until now it's working flawlessly. Previously I've purchased the handsome Kingston Digital Data Traveler both in gold and silver, despite reading reviews from others that the connection starts failing after a short time.  It got so bad with both that I had to tweak it to get it to connect each time so I could save my data. I had it! So I decided to look for another drive. I saw this one online and decided to give it a try. "So far" it's working flawlessly and I am very happy with it. I got two to replace the other lousy two from Kingston.I gave it a 5 starts because Amazon is asking me to give a review four to five weeks into the purchase and it wouldn't deserve at this point in time any less. I believe the Kingston started sort of failing within the four weeks. I always managed to get it to work though, but not with a great deal of frustration each time. Eventually the tweaking would've ruined the USB outlet, which is what I was afraid of.So, should you get this HP one?  Well, it has HP trademark on it and like I've said, four to five weeks into the purchase using it once daily and hadn't had a problem. You be the judge.

    Nice, very small, but fast Flash.
  

*by C***N on Reviewed in the United States on December 23, 2014*

This is a very small, but good storage capacity Flash Drive.  It's pretty fast.  It fits on a key ring and is small enough to "not be in the way."  But it's a great addition to a key ring.  I frequently am in need of one, at my fingertips, and because it's on the key ring, I know where it is, and it's a veritable life-saver.*Note, there is no "cap" for the end of the drive.  So, the part that fits into the port is just open.  You can damage it if you're not careful.... so, no "Hey, here are my keys, catch." and then hurling them over a swimming pool or a parking lot or a lava flow.  The thing works great...but I wanted you to know that there's no cap on the end.  Just sayin'.

    One of the Best Flash Drives I've Ever Had!!!!
  

*by C***A on Reviewed in the United States on February 21, 2016*

This is a surprisingly tiny, tiny flash drive!  But it's all metal, and that's the material for which I was searching. A book that is going into production soon is being saved on this flash drive, and nothing else but its illustrations, and graphics.  The transfer of the data proceeds very, very smoothly onto and off of this flash drive, much faster than other flash drives.  When I saw how small it was, I picked out my thickest flash drive cord to attach to it because I'm afraid of losing it otherwise.  Be sure you order a good strap for this flash drive when you order the flash drive, otherwise it will be easy to lose.  Don't let that be a deal-breaker for you, though because this flash drive is worth every penny.
