First Look
As you can see from the packaging, we have a nice clear insight into what the product is, what it can do and how it all looks.
From the back we are given a nice list of features in multi languages, plus a little look at the erm, string… you…get …with it.
When I went to open this product, I was sad to see it was the kind of hard plastic stuff that requires a pair of scissors and a bit of nerve. Without these instruments of package destruction, you could be looking at some nasty cuts on your gaming hands, something we definitely don’t want :).
After popping out the little “fellar” we get our first good look at our new pen drive. Very smooth and slick white casing with “Crucial” and some other crucial (get it?) information on it such s the site of the drive and the fact that it’s “Certified Hi Speed USB”.
Also bundled in is the manual, gives all the pen drive noobies a little incite in how to work it as well as the usual drivvle about copyright and warranty information. The little bit of straight that I mentioned earlier, turned out to be a strap that allows you to wear the drive round your neck, round your dog, wife or anywhere else you feel you need to hang your Gizmo.
Once plugged in it was nice to see that the drive had a little red LED that flashes when its first plugged in, when its recognized and when its transferring data to or from the drive.
Onto the testing…
