It "Could" be used, sure, but even so, you're still bettter off with a non-mechanical (real flash) USB drive because of all the aforementioned issues.
$69.99 for 4 GB of drive is the best price right now. I have both kinds of drives and each serves a purpose. It seems you are trying to talk people out of buying this drive. My drive has worked perfectly in every USB circustance. Especially my laptop. These drives should not have power issues because this is the kind of job they were designed for.
Not trying to talk anyone out of anything, even wrote it was a good price. Even so, it is only reasonable to highlight the primary differences, that there is more to it than only 4GB for $nn. I can throw my flash drive against the wall and it'll still work, among the other positive attributes already mentioned. For portability, this is really big. Anything you have to make space for is big when you already have plenty of other "gear" to tote around, unless you're wearing jungle pants with deep pockets or a purse, and I just don't have any of the latter.
That's just my opinion, anyone can decide for themselves. Why would I care if you bought it? Yes it must be a conspiracy... against, umm ???
Hmmm. I guess we differ on what one considers big. When I used to smoke I carried a Zippo lighter in my shirt or pants pocket all the time. Didn't seem big to me. Bad example about abusing the drive, I doubt either one would survive being thrown against the wall.
