2 Star ReviewLED Light Problem
Strengths: NA
Weaknesses: At some point the internal mechanism that controls the LED fails and the light stays ON all the time.
Summary: I loved this flash drive initially, but now it seems to have "failed" in a strange way. The LED light remains ON all the time, and flashes during data transfers. But there's no way to tell when the computer is done with the drive. In the past, the light went out, and you knew it was safe to eject it. I'm using a Mac OS X 10.4.9 system with Spotlight disabled. At this point, I can't trust the drive. The last thing I did before this problem occurred was Trash a file, then Eject the Flash Drive without Emptying the Trash. This is when I noticed the LED light was constantly on. I removed the Flash Drive from the USB port, and of course the light went out. But it immediately came back on when I inserted it into any other USB port on any other computer.

I gave my son one of these a month ago, and he reported that his "burned up" and wouldn't function at all. Not only did the LED light stay on, but the unit got HOT in the USB port.
