Got this flash drive when on sale for $5.99 and was not disappointed! I use this for my Windows 8 Recovery USB disk. Just the price alone makes this a 5 star product.
Loyal C Barber –
I don’t know what Sony did when they produced these flash drives but this is far and away my fastest USB 2 flash drive. It is also my 3rd and 4th ones from Sony. I have used just about every other brand yet this can install Linux quicker than all of the others. Further, it is even fast compared to some of my USB 3 flash drives. That is specifically why I purchased these drives. They are quite simply durable and fast. Love the green light.

Chiavetta USB originale Sony molto compatta e sottile. Ha il led verde che indica il trasferimento dati e il guscio bianco lucido.

So far, I have had no problems with thees drives.I knew right off the bat that they would not hold up to the kind of use I put my personal drives through, but for mailing large files out, they’re perfect.

the product is very compact and stylish, i love it.i have the 16GB and 32GB models of this and both have been working very well with very decent right speeds,

It works as described and is cheap, though it looks easy to break or lose because it’s so small and thin. Not that there are any defects
nunoAfonso –
Nice storage. The writing speed could be great but lacks a bit. Great product all around and the price speaks for it self.

È una normale penna USB, veloce nello scrivere e per il passaggio dei dati ma come tutte le schede di memoria, la capacità scritta sulla scatola non è vera cioè non ci sono 16GB ma pochi meno (è normale ma va detto)
Stefano –
Prodotto valido e di design.Abbastanza resitente alle sollecitazioni di ogni giorno, consiglato a chi ha molti supporti Usb esterni per la facilità di trasporto.

Bonjour, si vous avez besoin de 16 giga impérativement n’achète pas cette clé USB car c’est seulement 15,6 giga.c’est trop tard pour moi car j’ai jeté l’emballage en peut plus retourner le produit merci trex plus, merci Sony pour nous prendre pour des c**s

Pen drive veloce, esteticamente molto ben curata anche se la plastica è un pò delicata. Ha un led che lampeggia quando in uso, non è molto intensa la luce prodotta. La uso con l’autoradio ed è perfetta.

This is one of the best lightnening deals I’ve ever gotten! I’m a graphic design student, so I can’t ever have too many jump drives! This one is so fast. It’s absolutely worth every penny. I love how sleek it. I put it on my keys and it’s not bulky at all!
James C. –
These Sony flash drives were a great buy. The price was excellent and the 16GB capacity holds plenty. We picked a few of these up while they were on sale for general file back-up and to transfer a few years worth of digital photos from CDs. For that purpose they are great. They come equipped with an LED light which activates upon this sticks activity. One downside, as some reviewers have pointed out, some in overly critical fashion, is that these flash drives are thinner and they do feel flimsier than some of their competition. If you require these be clipped to a bag or put onto a keychain you may want to consider opting for a more substantially built stick. For average use, however, these offer more than enough storage and durability for an unbeatable price.

This USB is pretty amazing considering the price, its one of the smallest USB’s i owned and it has become the most used USB, the only thing i would have to say about this USB is that you have to be careful with it since its too small you might loose it…

Quizás la luz trasera sea algo fuerte, pero nada de lo que preocuparse. La caracterizo de fuerte mientras se conduce en coche por la noche, y puede despistar algo. No obstante se puede pasar un spray y tintarla/atenuarla

Electronic components of the thumb drive are great; the plastic housing not so much.I kept the thumb drive on my key-ring, took pretty good care of it.Electronics and the memory portion of this thumb drive never failed. Always worked great.The plastic housing cracked after a few months.Nothing against this thumb drive; there are just far better thumb drives of higher quality and workmanship than this item; no harm in browsing around.

Charlie Harbin –
Sony is typically better than this. The outer white case of this unit is built very thin and flimsy. It has several cracks in it and I would expect the chip to fall out or break off soon. I would avoid this product given a second chance.

Ottimo rapporto qualità prezzo. Penso che si trovino usb key migliori di questa, 3.0 ad esempio che sono sicuramente più veloci del passaggio dei dati, però questo articolo funziona benissimo, per essere sony per giunta da 16gb il prezzo è davvero buono. Esteticamente è essenziale.. molto carina. Il materiale di cui è composta è plastico ma non penso che sia peggiore di mole altre usb che ho provato! Nel complesso sono soddisfatta..

Pros: Fast shipping (just got mines today, saturday, even though it says that it will be delivered on monday). Good spare usb flash drive. transfer speed is ok (just transfered 2.8 gigs from it and took it 8 min to complete). playing videos is good.Cons: It is Flimsy (I should have listened to the majority of the reviews rather listening to one that claims that it is “not flimsy”). It heats up when transferring huge amounts of files (compared to a sandisk usb flashdrive).other comments: pardon my lack of intelligence about usb flash drives… but i just noticed that every time i put this on my mac the amount of data increases even though nothing is really added into it (like from the start it has no files and it has 2.5 mb already into it then i ejected it then put it again and saw 3 mb then i repeated the same thing without adding files it rose up to 5 mb)The color of the usb is black, even though the picture on trex plus and sony website is white for 16 gig. it’s original packaging is mostly spanish (it must have came from mexico then sold here at a low price)about me: uses usb flash drives as a means of file storage for my school works

cool design, fast reading / writing speed, one of the best I’ve ever used. One thing I would like to admit as minus it’s a plastic material, but it’s seams to be good.

This works great. However it’s kind of fragile looking, so we’ll see how long it lasts. Nice design though.

Good proceed for the amount of memory. Worth grabbing a few to keep handy.

Seems to work great so far – no dirt or stuff has gotten in it. It is really flat and small and I am actually more afraid of losing it than anything else. I did put a lanyard on it so I should be ok.

I use the Sonly Micro Vault drives as my go-to drives. I have every version of Mac OS installation media on 8GB drives “just in case”. This 16 gig drive is a little thicker than the 8GB models, but does the job nicely where more storage is needed. I used it to update the maps in my car’s navigation system, which needed more than 8GB to hold the entire map update.
Kyle –
For 16gb, this is very affordable.Fits perfectly in the little pocket in your jeans. It has a flashing blue light whenever it’s connected, which is cool.Also, it comes with a 5gb free trial of Sugar Sync.

Supporto esteticamente molto carino ed elegante anche se fragile di struttura.Assolutamente insufficiente la velocità di scrittura. Lentissima.Lettura ugualmente lenta.Consiglio il prodotto a chi NON ha necessità di frequenti scrittura/lettura e trasporto file.C’è di meglio a parità di costo.

La pennetta, offre un ottimo rapporto qualità prezzo.E’ stata scelta soprattutto perchè SONY che ha sempre rappresentato qualità… La pennetta funziona alla grande e non mi ha dato mai nessun problema, anche a seguito di diverse formattazioni, tra MAC e PC.Unico difetto che ho trovato è il materiale. Purtroppo a forza di attaccare e staccare il materiale tende a rompersi e quindi la prima cosa che salta è il materiale sopra i contatti.Questo però non pregiudica assolutamente il funzionamento della pennetta.

Seriously thin and light. Price was outstanding

Der Stick ist im Zugriff recht schnell und hat schon länger “überlebt” als so manch anderer, den ich schon nach wenigen Monaten entsorgen musste. Zugriff wird durch ein blinkendes LED angezeigt, leider zeigt das LED aber nicht an wenn der Stick noch angemeldet ist.

What to say – it’s a flash drive. Does a great job, seems to be fast. Small LEDs to let one know what’s happening.Started at 7 bucks, rapidly went to $11. Must have sold well.

I’ve been using Sony MicroVaults for several years with no complaints whatsoever. They’ve always worked PERFECTLY. Used to get them at Fred Meyer when they were on sale. But Fred Meyer stopped carrying them. Anyway, this one I got here online is an anomaly. It has some sort of a weird file on it that is only identified by a series of strange typographical symbols that look something like a curved upper case E. Whatever that file is, it can’t be deleted. When I drag it to the trash it just reappears on the MicroVault stick. Another bizarre thing is that when I save a file to it, sometimes the icon for the file appears for a brief moment and then vanishes. The MicroVault seems to think the file is there but, if it is there, it’s invisible and there’s no way to access it.

Great value. Small easy to store in a purse or desk drawer. It works well, arrived on time and was professionally packaged

Works well but gets strangely warm for a flash drive while in use. Also has a pretty annoying bright led on it.

Tampoco se puede decir mucho de un pen drive. Buena calidad, buen diseño y buen rendimiento. No es 3.0 por si alguien lo duda.
