why not use an SSD?!

"why not use an SSD?!"

How much are 250GB pen drives nowadays? Oh right! *thats* why disks haven't totally gone out of fashion yet!

I've got a earlier model of one of these. So far - 2 years down the line and 100% reliable. Once it was caught under my phone cable but unnoticed by me. When I picked up the phone I sent it flying, spinning through the air for it to land on a corner, and it was perfectly fine.

The model I have comes with a straight connector, too. Doesn't have the ring thing tho...

250Gb for £100? You find me a SSD that comes in at that price and I'm sold...

What a waste of time and effort.

A close inspection shows that it is actually a really cheap crab, as there is no locking pin on the gate, meaning that it is entirely dependant on the torsional rigidity of the entire device for its strength, rather than the tensional strength of the device.

Sounds like the rest of the drive has been made the same way - give it a fancy feature, but make it as cheaply as possible. But then give it a really big price to make it look like everything was done properly.
