Memorex 512 MB USB 2.0 Mini Travel Drive (32509353) Reviews

Customer Rating:
Summary: Good for MP3 playing
Comment: Did what it was supposed to do. For some reason I've noticed playing MP3's in my car stereo work best with Memorex or Kingston USB drives.

Summary: It worked for me
Comment: I don't know what the problem is, I have not experienced any of the problems others have stated. When I plugged the drive into my computer it set it self up and has worked fine, I've had it for almost a year now. I use it to transfer files (Indesign and PDF) from home to school, I have never had a problem.

Summary: U3 the problem child.
Comment: I have two of the Memerox 512 mini drives and also a SanDisk 1G jump drive
both have U3 software on them and all 3 have caused Windows fatal errors,when installed, shutting system down. On reboot the system hangs on these drives and stops. Did some web surfing and found alot of people have trouble with U3 and a hundred's of different conflict problems. Memerox support said remove Sonic MY DVD and a list of other dvd software confilicts with U3. Didn't work. Then said my USB ports won't support the drive. Found out if hold shiftkey down when installing drive, stops the U3 from loading, I can now copy files to the non U3 side of drive. Oh by the way even after gaining acess to the U3 part of the drive you can't delete or reformat it. Found good place for these drives called the trash recycle bin.

Summary: No more Memorex Products for me
Comment: After my experience with a Memorex TravelDrive, I am never going to buy a Memorex product again. I do not trust the company. The U3 technology on the TravelDrive apparently overwrote or modified some system files on my computer and a card reader stopped functioning. After spending several hours trying to deal with it, I ended up hiring a professional to get things working again (and paid four times the cost of the TravelDrive). The TravelDrive also apparently put some programs on my computer in a hidden way that reinstalls the U3 junk on the TravelDrive if I remove it. I got the TravelDrive planning to use it to transfer files between computers but I would never expose another computer to this. This should have a rating of minus 5.
