wow, that thing seems a bit sucky. surprising from crucial.

maybe they mis-labeled a usb 1.1 drive on accident.

Congratulations on a good review there.
However, there is a very important mistake which I believe you should revise your review in order to correct.

The Win98/SE drivers on Crucial's website are for Gizmo1 usb drives only -- *not* the third revision which you have tested here. According to their own specifications on their website http://www.crucial.com/store/partspecs.asp?imodule...
the USB2 Gizmo is "NOT compatible with 95/98/SE" (verbatim). Those in need of a Win98-compatible usb drive might have serious problems with your review if they purchase a Gizmo, only to find out that it does not work with Win9x operating systems.

Other than this small mistake, I liked your article. May I suggest Iomega's Micro Mini USB drives for a future review?

kind regards,
Giannis, Greece

hindsight is 20/20, but...

it's always a good idea to use a USB drive just as a means of transporting data, you should always have a copy somewhere else.
