Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of HP v100w 8 GB USB 2.0 Flash Drive P-FD8GBHP100-EF
Customer Review: Yes, it really is driverless and works on Playstation 3
Summary: 5 Stars
I remember paying $60 for a 2GB Flash Drive from Walmart a few years ago and thinking I got an awesome deal (which it was at the time, aside from the fact it came with it's own UI software).
As a semi-tech guru I learned how annoying it was to have a flash drive that required drivers or had pre-loaded software that launched to "help you" navigate through the drive. (SanDisk was horrible about this on my 2GB drive). Because of this I couldn't use my old 2GB memory card on certain Windows Vista editions and definitely nothing like my Playstation 3 which is unable to install drivers. Because of this, I had to keep going back to my dinosaur 512MB flash drive on newer technology, because it was the only thing I had that was "basic" enough to be recognized.
Well this 8GB HP flash drive is just like my old 512MB flash drive in regards that it is incredibly simple which insures compatibility with just about anything. The flash drive works with my old operating systems, Windows 7, Playstation 3, and even the USB port on my HDTV. There are no drivers to install, it is plug and play.
People mentioned that the cap is easy to come off, but I haven't had a problem with it yet, but it does "feel" like it could easily fall off if enough pressure was put on it.
The only bad part about the drive is the price (and even this depends on how cheap you are). Yes, this drive is "HP" branded which does give confidence to it's reliability. However memory now a days is pretty cheap. I mean I purchased a 500GB hard drive for $40 two weeks ago. I searched around and found a 128GB flash drive for $20. However, I couldn't determine if other drives were "driverless" and the last thing I wanted to do was spend $20 on a 128GB flash drive that I couldn't use on my PS3 to transfer my music and videos. I mean if you can't use it for what you want it for, then it doesn't matter how much storage space it stores, does it?
I chose the safe route and got the 8GB HP flash drive and although I think the write speed could be much faster, it does get the job and works everywhere. If you aren't tech savvy and don't want deal with the hassle of learning things and don't mind waiting an extra 5-10 minutes for large file transfers then I highly recommend this product. I don't regret it.
