I have one of these and it's nothing special. The speeds are not very good and personally a cap type jump drive is better as this retractable design will allow dust into the end. It will fit on a key chain if you use the right type of key ring (it must be small). Good price for a standard jump drive but don't expect this thing to perform like a higher end jump drive.

I forget what the s&h is, but these are what I buy when I need these suckers:

$17.75
KingMax 8GB

$5.95
Kingmax 4GB

I currently have a 4GB SanDisk Titanium Cruzer on my keychain. It's heavy and clunky. I just picked up the KingMax 8GB. Should be perfect for the keychain! Thanks!

I have a 1 gig drive right now and have never had a problem with it. You can't beat this price for 4gig drives. I have looked at these in the stores and haven't found them for under29.95. And thats only for one.

In for one but hopefully there won't be any shipping issues like last time with the 8GB drive.

As W00T is famous for saying when unloading their B-0-C, "The c-r-a-p will be shipped via SmartPost, the crappiest shipping method available to us."

Seriously, though... It'll take 2 or 3 weeks (depending on where you are) At least that's my experience.

Went thru all the posts , but didn't see anything about if it was compatible with XP service pack 3. Its been out since May I think. It shows just sp 1 & 2.

Just cancel your initial and place a second order for the correct quantity. In your email to Woot tell them you are cancelling this order and have placed another order for a greater quantity.

Wait til you get into a W00t-0ff...holy lord. That was some serious addiction happening.

I can't wait for the next hit of the crack pipe, I mean for the next W00t-0ff!!!

The drive is VERY difficult to insert into a USB port because there is very little gripping surface and the male end retracts back into the drive when you attempt to insert it. JUNK!!



That's what she said.

Oh no, not another item shipped via smartpost!

Be aware of this. You will be waiting for weeks, if not over a month to get this
item shipped to you, if you even get it at all.

I have to say that I have one of these already and have not noticed ANY of the open/close or durability issues that some people are talking about... Mine has been pretty darn bullet proof and (this is the kind of thing we do) my friends and I tested the forced closing force on this at like 40 lbs! (the force necessary to break it closed without pressing the side button. I just bought 6

On some random day, Woot has a special day where instead of one item for the day, they put up an item for sale. When it sells out, they put up another etc. I think they tend to sell smaller quantities to keep people glued to their monitors waiting to see what's next. It's a lot of fun.

The really fun part is reading all the comments on the current item being sold. They can be quite sarcastic and you will definitely be entertained.

It takes a big man to cry...and an even bigger man to laugh at that man.

Yeah, but if you factor in the $5.00 shipping that is 2 for $19.99 and you saved a buck.

I bought one for a guy at work (darn work comp blocks a lot of stuff). I got the 8GB version a while back. No problems, and I haven't noticed any of the speed problems, and it works with XP SP3. Wish it came with lanyards though...
