All of these flash memory devices share a common design paradigm which I feel is contrary to their intended use as a PC performance enhancement: they stick way the heck out of the USB port. These designs are OK for devices which will be plugged in to a PC for only a few minutes, minimizing potential damage exposure, but unsuitable for devices which will be left plugged-in for hours or days at a time, or maybe never removed. Manufacturers need to start designing these things so that they can be left plugged into a PC without the danger that someone or something is going to run into the flash drive and snap off the protruding component, and/or physically damage the USB port due to the amount of leverage these things can exert on the port.

For instance, take a look at the wireless USB dongle used by Logitech, called the "nano receiver", for their most recent wireless notebook mouse -- it barely protrudes from the USB port to risk getting snagged or wrenched. That's the design idea that needs to be applied to these "ReadyBoost" targeted devices.

My friend gifted a AG neovo V-10 7" Digital Photo Frame to his brother on his birthday......He bought it at very reasonable price from [url="http://www.couponalbum.com/coupons/newegg.htm quot;]Newegg.com[/url] store through Couponalbum.com site.....!

you?

thanks

Thank you very much. I've learned a lot about USB flash drives and how to distinguish the gems from the crud in a very confusing and cluttered array of choices.
