@Tilse: I had a similar experience. Bought a 8Gb version and it was dead within a day. I returned it and got my money back. I did like the design so much that after a month I got myself a new one because I wanted to give the little fella a second chance. And this 2nd pico is still running great after half a year of daily use. I think that Supertalent just had a few bad production batches. So just buy yourself another one and chances are high that this one will work as a charme.

@Yigit I’ve had that problem under XP SP2 i tracked it to be a faulty USB extension cable that had bad contacts. fortunately I lost data i already have

I bought an 8gb one 2 weeks ago. It works perfectly fine with my laptop(Vista) but I cant get it to work under XP SP3. Under SP3, most of the time it is not recognised as a usb device and when it is recognised, you can’t copy a file to it because it unmounts and mounts the drive with a delayed write failed warning. I’ve read some reviews about this and it seems that this problem only exists for SP3. They say that it works fine with SP2 but I haven’t tested it yet.

I purchased a three pack of the 8gb version. Within 48 hours of receiving the drives, all three were dead. First, I noticed that some of the image files that I had copied to the drives had been corrupted. As I checked over the files, I found more and more corruption of data. After attempting to re-copy the data, drives eventually could not be read. Any attempt to format the drives failed. The drives were hot to the touch.

I found several posts and reviews with similar problems. It really is too bad. I really like the design and would be very interested in having one that is stable.

Awesome little drive!!! It is a bit snug, but with an extension cable it’s fine. Got my 16gb through newegg at $40.65 including tax and shipping.

When I use this drive with my MBAir I use a short USB extension cable….works like a champ.

I agree, it’ll be great when Super Talent releases a 32gb version.

I have their 8GB version. Love it. It’s really sturdy. It is a tight fit on 2 of my laptops but not bad enough that I have to use much force to push it in. Can’t wait for them to make a 32GB version. =)

I am highly impressed with this drive and have eyeballed it for a while. However, I’ve heard a few reviewers criticize the thickness of the device and that it has caused some damage to USB ports, other than that issue, I have been sold.
