The new Cruzer doesn't have U3 software only right? Apart from that, how's the performance of this new Cruzer?

Plan to get a new thumbdrive soon, an entry level one, yet something that is the bang for buck, any suggestion?

Bought the Cruzer Contour 32GB@RM299. Read/Write speed on Vista 24.5MB/18MB. However, then I do the test in Mac, the Read/Write speed is 3.5MB/10MB. Is even slower than my Transcend 16GB Class 6 SDHC. Now searching around 32GB flash drive which works properly in my Mac 10.5.8. Sigh.....

Since you just bought it, you should send it back to the shop where you bought it. Let them have a look

I have soft spot for cute and shiny stuff, hence finally bought myself imation atom 8G. So small, so cute, soo neat, sooo shiny and so light it would be blown away by your weakest of sneeze hehe.

It sits perfectly with my 8.9" netbook as compared to Cruzer protruding like a flap.

Anyway, speedwise, i have compared with Sandisk Titanium copying 699Mb of data and heres the outcome :

Titanium : 50s
Atom : 80s.

Not lab tested but recorded twice in a not-so-controlled environment. Both were formatted with FAT32.

Atom runs quite hot when used, dissipating heat via its chrome metal surface, prolly due to smaller total surface area than Titanium which is 90% metallic and more than thrice the size of Atom and a hell lot heavier.

I got Atom for Rm70 8Gb compared to Titanium @ Rm90 8Gb. Atom came with a tiny lanyard you could use to secure it to your key chain?

Hi!

Can I know where you bought your Imation Atom 8GB?

It's a nice looking thumbdrive.

Does anyone know where i can find the Atom in either KL or JB?

Thanks
