a okay thumb drive.......2007-01-04
well it works really well i have had few problems. just a few times i pulled it out instead of turning it off. bad move on my part and it will give you error messages after words for a few days. on some pcs it is very slow to load i have mine password protected the screen can take a whole minute to load on a very slow pc on a fast pc it can take a few seconds to a minute i have had it take 30 seconds to load the password screen and this is on a pc build by a friend and no cheap pc at all. drive is slow at times but that is just starting up once it is going it is fast and easy to use. one major problem it says on the box that it works with Linux and mac. well i tried to port some files from my mac to my pc well the mac reads the u3 part but not the part to store files. i have taken music files even high quality movies takes up more than half the drive but it works between pcs very well. but i cant get my files off my mac i don't no if i need to change something. the u3 smart makes things easy when you go use a random pc got Firefox got trillian and skyp every thing i need to get work done. this drive when i lose my internet i go to the library use there pc to chat with my friends and use mingo to make the pc look like the one at home from background to theme you use on your pc classic or xp. but overall i love this thing works like a laptop almost with very little space for files.
Very Happy With It.......2006-08-26
This is my third flash drive in as many months and finally I have found a drive I love. The design is very nice, the case is not too flimsy as some other brands are, and the cap is built to stay on, which is always a nice thing these days with these drives. The cap also fits on the back of the device while it is in use. It comes with a sheet of labels to use as well, which is handy. The keychain attachment is on the drive itself, which is good in case the cap pops off (I do not think it will on the model though) I will not lose the drive and be left with the dangling cap. It also has a large enough attachment for an actual key ring (opposed to one with only room for a tiny cord).
I really was not sure about the U3 when I bought it, but figured if I did not like it I did not have to use it. Well I really like it. It is so easy to use and set up, I have had no problems running it on my desktop at work or laptop at home (running windows pro and windows home respectively). I find the write speed to be fast (maybe not the fastest on the market, but it goes just as fast of the other 2 drives I had and fast enough for my needs). After 2 disappointing drives from top companies, I really am happy with this drive and wished this was the first I had purchased and I would have saved myself the money I spent on the others!
Slick password protection and auto-antivirus, promising platform.......2006-05-03
Need a new USB flash drive, and primarily use a Microsoft Windows 2000 or XP system (i.e., don't use Macintosh or Linux)? The Verbatim U3 Smart Drive combines data storage and a portable applications platform into one device, and provides two features that make it immediately worthy of consideration: slick password-protected access to the U3 drive, and auto-run anti-virus.
On Microsoft Windows 2000, XP, and above systems, the Verbatim U3 Smart Drive shows up as two drives: a 4-megabyte CD-ROM drive containing the U3 software platform, and a USB data storage device with 927-megabytes of available storage space. When the U3 Smart Drive is inserted into a computer, the CD-ROM portion starts the U3 Launchpad first. When password protection is enabled, the password must be correctly entered to activate the data storage portion of the drive. Otherwise, the computer reports that the data storage portion of the drive is unavailable. Verbatim's U3 Smart Drive comes with McAfee Anti-Virus, which automatically scans active processes then the Smart Drive itself when the drive is inserted into a computer. This ensures that one's data will be virus-free anywhere one chooses to use this USB flash drive.
The U3 portable applications platform enables compliant software to be installed on and run directly from the USB flash drive itself, eliminating the necessity to install them on a computer. People looking for flexibility to run utilities not provided in a controlled computing environment, such as in corporate or university settings or at a public access terminal, will appreciate this capability. For example, users whose corporate networks only support Internet Explorer can instead choose to run Mozilla's Firefox web browser from their U3 Smart Drive. The U3 website lists available U3 compliant applications, utilities, and games; some are free; most others must be purchased. Having U3-compliant versions of Firefox and McAfee Anti-Virus on my U3 flash drive has been quite convenient for me (though I am annoyed that Firefox U3's homepage is stuck at YourBrainz).
Overall, the U3 platform experience is not as seamless as it should be, in part because of its youth, but also because of inherent design issues in the Microsoft Windows operating system. If the drive is inserted before the computer is powered on, the U3 Launchpad software must be manually run to activate the data storage portion of the drive when password protection is enabled. Some U3 applications are dependent on the features that may be absent from the host operating system. For example, Anonymizer for U3 currently requires that Microsoft's .NET Framework 1.1, typically an optional download, be installed on the host computer. Other applications may require user expertise to either determine whether a host network allows (or blocks) program traffic, such as instant messaging and Skype; or to perform proxy configuration. U3's marketed ability to deliver a portable, private and protected computing environment is still very dependent on both the host computing environment and the user's technology expertise.
The Verbatim U3 Smart Drive's average sustained write speeds are somewhat slow. It took me over three-and-a-half minutes to transfer a 698.8 MB file for an average sustained write speed of approximately 3.2 MB/s. Consider a faster USB flash drive if you regularly use such large files or large numbers of files. I think Verbatim's U3 Smart Drive performs adequately for most people, who commonly transfer few or smaller files - here, transfer time is unnoticeable. Read speeds are acceptable; I've had no problems viewing movies from the U3 Smart Drive.
If you are able to find Verbatim's U3 Smart Drive for a few dollars more than a typical USB flash drive that offers data storage only, buy it. Verbatim's U3 Smart Drive's password protection, anti-virus, and ability to run sophisticated portable programs are worth a small premium.
I like it!.......2006-04-17
Sorry I cannot add technical data about transfer speeds. I have purchased more USB drives than I'll admit to and all I know is I like this one. Why? Because of the U3 software it comes with. The U3 platform really makes it easy to keep your data private, as well as running some programs designed just for it (like a U3 version of Firefox). While this Verbatim U3 Smart drive is larger than some USB's (like the SanDisk Micro), it is very light. I look forward to Verbatim introducing other models (2GB, etc.).
Elegant.......2005-11-24
I love this little thumb drive, I use it every day. Read/write speed is acceptable, even on my ancient P3-600. I compared the transfer rates of the Verbatim vs my Lexar JumpDrive, both took the exact same time to copy a large 500 MB CD image to/from my hard drive. I'm no computer engineer, I bought this drive because of the U3 Launchpad, not because of published transfer rates.
What enthused me about this drive is the U3 Launchpad. USB thumb drives have been around for a few years and, although you can run some applications, it is not always easy. The U3 Launchpad makes it simple to run *my* applications with *my* data on any Windows 2000 or XP PC. U3 puts the *Personal* back in my PC. And the icing on the cake is, when this thumb drive is ejected, the U3 Launchpad cleans out any lingering personal data on the host machine. U3 makes portable, fast, secure, private computing easy.
Although U3 applications are limited as of this writing, software developers are starting to jump on the U3 bandwagon. I currently run Firefox, Trillian, Coolplayer and EssentialPIM from this drive. A U3 version of OpenOffice is also in the works, which, when available, will complete my little PC-in-a-thumb.

Big and useful.......2006-10-31
Other 4GB size, which speaks for itself, the U3 functionality helped make the purchase decision. U3 provides the ability to run standard software - internet browser, email client, word processor and similar - from the flash drive. It also keeps personal settings such as email server addresses and passwords on the drive. When plugged in to a host computer, the automatic setup procedure takes a few seconds, then was has effectively a shelled mini-system which does not leave any trace on the host computer. I have used it at one conference that provided terminals, and although the staff there weren't used to this new technology, they let me use it. Connection to my work's email server was easy; I downloaded all messages, read some of them immediately and replied later at the laptop at the hotel which only offered an expensive connection. Next day, I reconnected the flash drive at the conference and sent the messages off. So far, I am very happy with this drive. The only thing that could have been solved better is the cap which is not teathered and get get easily lost (at least I do :-).
As always, ask yourself: Do I really need this? No matter how easy things are to use, you will spend time fidgeting with it, and it will at some point frustrate you.

Complete junk.......2007-12-15
I bought this unit after reading other reviews and shopping around. It worked well for the first 6 months of very occasional burning, but then started acting up. The door stopped working, would open sometimes but not others, and then eventually stopped opening altogether. I might have burned 50 discs on this unit in the time that I've had it, and it burned fine, but the door problem has me looking for other brands for my next purchase. The Sony DRX 810UL has been a complete waste of money for me.
Noisy Noisy Noisy!!!.......2007-01-08
Pros: Burner works great, I've gotten only 1 coaster in 6 months.
Nice design
Cons: It is LOUD!! Sounds like someone groaning. There was some previous reviews of noise factor but I vastly underestimated it. It's hard to concentrate on watching movies. I advise buying another model or even another brand.
Both ways.......2006-03-24
nice slim size, and you can set it up flat or on it's side. Fits in tight spaces.
Perfect.......2006-03-20
This is the first DVD recorder I purchased. I used the quick set up guide and I was off to the races. The quality of my recordings are crisp and clear. The nero software is user friendly and makes recording dvds easy. I'm totally satisfied with my purchase plus I'm recieving a [...]rebate to top it off.
Fast and Easy.......2006-03-11
I am by no means a technical person. This drive was easy to set up and use right away. The software that came with it was easy to use as well.
