Thread: Physical Properties

Let’s run through physical attributes of drive first. The drive is about 8mm high, 20mm wide and 57mm long, which is a good size for a flash drive; there are smaller drives available, and you can anticipate paying more for these, but this one feels quite compact. Weighing in at just 10g, it's also incredibly light. It comes with a pre-fitted key ring on it as well so you can attach it to your house keys to ensure that it doesn't get lost. The following screen shot shows the top of the drive with the USB connector retracted:



One of the drive's most important features is slide button used to push USB connector socket; it's made of a semi-opaque plastic and permits you to plug drive in, it also doubles as a decorative or access light. It will glow orange and flash when you firstly attach drive and when reading or writing to it, before slowing down to a steady pulse when it is not active. This next image is of the drive with its connector exposed:



Drive is completed in a smooth arrangement of glossy black on sides, and a rougher, matte completed black plastic on top and bottom of drive. In general, it seems smart and professional. Here is a picture of back of the drive:



The act of slide button is smooth and feels good. As you want to depress button slightly as opening or closing it, connector is doubtful to come out of its own accord, keeping it carefully tucked away until it's necessary. You want to ensure that you are holding it properly when you insert it, though, to ensure that connector does not obtain pushed back in by mistake; and as connector is protected from being snapped off while retracted, there is nothing to avoid dust, pocket lint, or miscellaneous detritus from obtaining into it.
