 Piece of Junk May 2, 2006

I bought the Travel Drive because it was the largest capacity small drive I could find. Plus I trusted the Memorex brand. What a mistake. Mine just died after 8 weeks of use. Because I rely on it for my work I need it replaced ASAP but I first have to e-mail Memorex, who says they will respond the next day, and then my drive will be replaced in 3-4 weeks! Considering that the drive is an expensive and crucial piece of hardware I would think they could replace it sooner than that, like in a day or two. This is the last time I'll be buying any Memorex product.
Mine died after 11 days June 9, 2006

When it works, it beats a USB flash drive because it's a lot faster.
Great at first, until it died 2 weeks later. October 9, 2006

I had the same experience. At first it was great, being able to carry so much data around on my hip and for my work it was really essential. Then the honeymoon was over and after about 2 weeks it would just spin and click - dead. I have a replacement request submitted to Memorex but I am going to be nervous about the new one too. I'd steer clear of this item.
Worst thing I've never bought April 30, 2007

I bought my mega drive on sale for $100 and 13 months ago, that was a deal. It was convenient having 8 gigabytes of memory to store my teaching and research materials on.
Unfortunately, a few weeks ago, while I was transfering some files over to a computer, an error message popped up on screen and the flash drive stopped connecting to computers.
Memorex was no help at all in replacing my flash drive, or even giving me any leads as to how I could get it repaired.
I finally tried contacting Seagate and their data recovery rates are a flat rate of $250 for thumb drives or $500 for hard drives.
My advice for those interest in this product is to LOOK ELSEWHERE!
Good idea bad implementation July 7, 2007

I saw the drive on the shelf at my local electronics store and was like sweet this is not much more then the 4gb flashdrive. The problem is I dropped it 2 feet while not plugged in and it died. Not very good for a portable device. Memorex said they would replace it but that cost extra money for S&H to fix a product that would still be broken as designed.
