Very small and Very fast
Date of Review: Jul 20, 2005
The Bottom Line: This is a great drive and my research proved Sandisk to be the best brand. I don't know why anyone would want the sandisk mini, but check it out.
This drive is extremely small, and I saw a lot of pictures before I bought it, but never appreciated it until I held it. I posted some pictures so you could see how small it actually is.
My dad had a 32 Mb Quickdrive that I bought him a couple of years ago. And I did some test with it just to compare the speed. Here are the results:

You can see that loading two large files sizes was more than twice as fast as the many small files sizes. And deleting wasn't even comparable. Also during these tests the drive didn't get hot.
I hope this helped everyone out.
