Weakness: FAT32 formatting won't work with Mac. Cheap construction.
When formatted FAT32 won't work on a Mac. I should be able to put the PD9 in a Mac or PC and have full cross-platform functionality with both. (like my 8GB OCZ Rally2) without having to format again for each platform. Really poor design for a flash drive. If I knew this was how this drive works I certainly would not have purchased it -now I'm stuck with it. Other 16GB USB Flash drives (Kingston, OCZ, Transcend, IBM) work fine out of the box on a Mac and PC formatted FAT32.

Strengths: Inexpensive, small size.
