5 Stars Fantastic amount of space for the price
I’m usually a bit annoyed when it comes to prices of flash drives/thumb drives/or whatever, but the price for this 4GB flash drive was fantastic. I only ended up paying $11 or so for the whole shebang, that’s cheap. It works like any flash drive, and the closing feature is a nice addition. Also fast shipping from shipper, can’t go wrong here.

5 Stars Thumb Drive
Every SanDisk USB thumb drive I’ve purchased has been a winner. I’ve never had any problems with this USB flash drive compared to others that start acting up.

3 Stars Slooooooow
Well, it’s cheap, for 4 GB.

But, it’s also very slow, around 3 MB/s Write speed. 25 minutes to fill it up. Outrageous.

Read speed is above 20 MB/s.

Still, I would not buy a second one, when you can buy a class 4 or class 6 MicroSD card and an adapter for the same price, and you can get better write performance with that combination, in a smaller form factor.

3 Stars Great product, not great shipping
I was very pleased with the flash drive. It holds plenty for our organization’s needs and I like that I don’t have to worry about keeping up with a cover. I was not pleased with having to pay postage due for the shipment. Beach Camera’s response to my email regarding same was essentially, “Sorry about that.” I doubt I will use this supplier again.

5 Stars The Sandisk Cruzer Micro 4.0GB Flash Drive ROCKS!!!
I purchased the Sandisk Cruzer Micro 4.0GB flash drive because my sister lost the one I had lent her and the replacement she purchased for me shortly thereafter was not backwards-compatible with Windows 98 — the computer that hosts my ProMetric beam cross-sectional analyser (a [...] test instrument that sees frequent use for my website at [...]) runs this OS. Needless to say, it performs absolutely flawlessly!!! I couldn’t be more satisfied. It was only when I went to write this review that I saw other users of this product who were dissatisfied with it. Mine did *NOT* come loaded with any extra software to “throw a monkey wrench into the works” as it were (which I would most likely have deep-sixed anyway), so I have no complains in that department.

I’ll be publishing a brief, quasi-informational web page about this product at [...] on the morning of 05-16-10 (or “16 May 2010″ if you prefer).

1 Star Failed within 6 months
I’ve had this less than six months and it’s started deleting the contents of folders at random. Not so useful as I use data sticks to bring files home from work!

5 Stars Comes With A 5 Year Warranty
My HP 16gb flash drive gave out on me less than 6 months, and I threw away the receipt and the package, and I was told that it came with only a 30 day warranty. So I bought this Flash Drive and kept my receipt and the packaging because it comes with a 5 year warranty. It performs just as my other flash drive as far as speed and how easy it is to use. Also, I did not notice any additional programs on it before I formatted it which I liked very much.

5 Stars Kingston Data Traveler 4GB
I have several of the Kingston products. I use them to keep various image files and soem MP3 files when I’m working on my website and need to take things to the studio where we do most of the work. These are reliable, affordable and easy to use solutions. I’ve come to rely on them. The simple deal is, they work.

5 Stars Another Nice Thumb Drive
As I said in another review, I am a thumb drive junkie. I saw this on Amazon.com at a great price and just had to get it. I use these quite often to create CD or DVD images of projects before burning a real disc. This one has a cap; I prefer capless thumb drives. Speed is good, about as good as the other thumb drives in my collection of this capacity. 4GB doesn’t sound like much these days, but that is 4x the storage our IBM mainframe had in the ’90s.

5 Stars It’s Exactly What I Bought
It’s exactly what I expected and intended on getting. But, the price was quite nice. Thanks.

4 Stars Nice alternative to traditional camcorder
My wife and I are having a child, so we decided to get a camcorder. In looking at all of the available options out there, we started to look into the Flip style pocket cams vs. the traditional camcorder route. We knew we wanted HD, but I didn’t want to spend $400 and up for a traditional style camcorder. When we started thinking about all the ways we would use it (clips of the baby for emailing to the grandparents, etc) the Flip style video recorders started to really shine. Add in the Flipshare software, and this thing is just about perfect for our needs. The camera itself is tiny, like fit in your pocket tiny, so I am apt to take it more places without fear of destroying it (the beach, etc). The HD video is superb so long as you have good light and are not panning quickly. I do not think it is as good as some of the higher price point camcorders out there, but we are talking about 1/4 the price here, for what I think are very acceptable levels of performance. The Flipshare software is pretty intuitive, you set up emails that can join your “channel” and when you plug your camera in via the convenient USB port to upload video, they are alerted to a new video for them to watch. Really makes it easy to share via the web. You can also burn to DVD. Overall, I am impressed. I would like to see newer models include such features as image stabilization, and perhaps better zoom (almost non-existent, and since it’s digitial, probably wouldn’t recommend using it anyways).

4 Stars Portability Fun!
I’d have to say the same things about the Flip UltraHD that’s been said hundreds of times! I would defintely but the UltraHD rather than the Flip Ultra Camcorder 2nd Generation, 120 Minutes (White)

Two problems however. One is the zooming, it only zooms 2x. I’d like for it to zoom at least 4x and I wouldn’t care if the lens had to come out very far from the camcorder!

And, of course, my biggest concern. No, not the audio quality! No, not even the fact that this camcorder has no image stabilizer. But the fact that this camcorder has no MACRO!!! This basically means whenever you close-in on an object (e.g. a cell phone screen), the image BLURRRRRRRRRS out!

In the end, I say this is a good “starter” camcorder. What are you waiting for, buy it!

5 Stars Love it!
I bought this as I’m getting ready to build a new house and wanted to have a video record of the build process. Last time I just took pictures, and thought it would be cool to have videos this time. I want to be able to easily upload to a house blog that I’m creating so friends and relatives can follow the process. The week after I got it I attended my aunt and uncle’s 50th wedding anniversary and took the Flip along with me. I took about 18 different clips and then easily made them into a movie with the Flip software. The FlipShare software allows you to share by email or uploading to a Flip channel. Needless to say, they were thrilled with the end result when I sent them a copy. I only wish I owned this when my parents had their 50th anniversary! The HD video is very clear even when enlarged to full screen. It comes partially charged so I was video taping 5 minutes after I opened it up. It’s very user friendly and fun to use.

5 Stars Works Great Videoing Moving Horses
I bought this Flip UltraHD even though I already had an older flip camcorder, still working by the way, they both work the same except this new on has more sensitive controls, another words the buttons work better. I do a lot of horse videos so the wider screen format makes it so much easier to follow the horses as they speed by. I had a very expensive HD camcorder already but the flip is so handy I carry it around in my shirt pocket and get more videos that way. I don’t miss having to hook up the two cables and figure out what program to use to take video off the old expensive camcorder with a weird .MOD format that does not work with most of my software, I had to covert videos with yet more software. With the flip I just plug it in to the usb port, the flip software starts automatically and then I can choose what videos I want to keep. This is a real no brainer other than you may like the mino flipHD it is smaller, but I have big hands so I chose this one. The video color and brightness is very good.

4 Stars Good Beginners HD Camcorder
I was very excited to receive my Flip Ultra HD camcorder to begin filming everything and anything. It is so portable you can really take it anywhere and after seeing the quality of the camera on youtube I was very impressed I had to purchase it. When I got the device I instantly filmed a few test videos to see the quality, and it wasn’t that impressed. The best quality you can get from what I have found is outside. The visuals look great and the colors stand out. I guess I might be used to HD images but the quality looked 480p/540p. It could just be my device but indoor shots with decent lighting were just average, I really didn’t get that wow effect compared to the videos I saw on youtube.

Other than that, I am extremely satisfied with the portability of the camera. It is so small and fits in your pocket so you can really take it anywhere. I plan on filming a lot with this device and the flipshare software was very easy to use. I am a beginner to video editing and using iMovie HD has been semi difficult but I am figuring it out. Once I used the included Flipshare software, I was able to make a great movie in seconds! Very easy to use which is what I liked. I recommend this camcorder for anyone looking for simple point and shoot video. The HD is an added bonus although my device doesn’t really look HD but again it could just be a lemon. Buy this camera you will have a blast using it!

4 Stars Great backup for an Apple.
Simple to use. I just connected it to a USB port on my Apple Macbook Pro. Time Machine started up om my Macbook. I checked the settings and it has been backing up automatically ever since. What backup could be easier? I’ve used Windows for a long time. Since I switched to Apple, I will never go back.

5 Stars Good drive to carry important stuff
Very good stuff to carry anywhere you go. Drive takes the internal power from the computer and is very handy.

2 Stars Nice hardware rendered useless by dreadful firmware.
Yes, I said “rendered useless”.

Unless you intend to attach this device to a computer system and are willing to deal with the crappy firmware based VCD, I’d avoid this and the rest of the similar WD drives like the plague.

My Passport Essential was purchased with the intention of tethering it directly to a camera for use as a mass storage device. The VCD firmware confuses the camera to the point that even when disabled you can’t be sure the writable partition will be recognized correctly.

WD have shown almost no interest in correcting their mistakes so this is the last of their drives I will buy.

Do yourself a favor, spend your money elsewhere.

4 Stars nice looking, poorly executed software
Nice amount of storage in a compact form case housing could be a little more rugged, the USB cable can be a little annoying It actually has to lock in and connector does look a little fragile, I can see where you think you have it on but you don’t have it on right, my drive came with a soft sleeve but got it somewhere else. Backup and encryption software was a good idea, but putting it on a partition you cant delete to recover the space was a bad idea(although I don’t know maybe there were some sort of technical reasons for doing it like this), although its only a relatively small amount of space I think about one gig, the buyer should have the option to delete it. They did come out with a somewhat half _ solution, you can update the firmware and hide the partition but its still gone for use.

1 Star String of Problems
I got this drive (1TB) about three months ago from Pantip Plaza in Bangkok. Within the first week, got several error messages. Still kept on using it. Found that files written while connected to an XP system cannot be read in a Vista laptop. Contacted WD and they said Data Corruption. Need to reformat.

I was using it to store images and the Lightroom catalog. After I spent most of today making sure my backups work with the catalog in another system, I am ready to reformat.

Or maybe I am ready to throw it in the trash.

4 Stars I like this camera
this camera does what I need it to do and is so easy to operate. Wish I had had it years ago!

3 Stars So far, not impressed
I bought this flip camcorder battery pack for my daughters flip video. I like not eating up AA batteries. The literature that came with the battery said that when it was charged, the red light on the front of the camcorder would go off. I left the thing plugged into my computer for 12 hours and the light never went off. I let it charge like that twice and neither time did the light go off indicating that it was fully charged. Now, don’t get me wrong. The battery does work, but I don’t know if it lasts as long as it’s supposed to or if it is fully charging. I don’t like guessing games. So far it has underwent three charges and still works ok. My daughter has not said anything about it going out quickly, so it is just ok for now.

1 Star flip video
Really dont like this camera. Shakey video makes it hard to watch . Cant really tell when the battery is fully charged. The instructions say the red light will go out when it is charged but the one I have the red light blinks. Nothing in the instructions say what to do with a blinking light. Charges some times other times it does not.

2 Stars Good battery; If you can charge it!
They overheat when charging; At least they do for me. The one that came with the camera and the 2nd one I purchased here. I would not buy this even for $12. I bought it when it cost more and wish I had just purchased some good rechargeable AAs instead. They are a much better and can be used for more than just your Ultra HD camera. As long as you have a Flip camera that can use them that is.

1 Star rechageable battery pack
The battery pack that I bought did not take a charge. Tried it numorous time. My background is electronics, and I think that they were just old.
