My dad made me a very nice gift. It is the SanDisk USB-memory stick U3 Cruzer with a capacity of 16 GB. I was testing it on his PC laptop and it worked fine and damn fast.
A very nice feature is the slider, where you can pull the USB-connector inside the stick, so that you can not lose the cap anymore.
When connecting it my Mac’s USB hub I saw a very nice suprise. The USB LED is not just flashing or blinking, it is fading the same way the Mac’s power LED does, when ready. Have look at my shortly recorded video.
