Mushkin Prospector

An update to my previous review. The reason I buy Mushkin, and will continue to buy Mushkin is there customer service. I got an RMA within a day, and a new drive in less than 2 weeks. One week of that was probably me taking my time sending the old...

See previous review about broken drive

Cheap, and BOOTABLE. Some USB drives by other makers such as Kingston aren't bootable. This one will boot up just fine

Plastic cap might be easy to loose, but who cares. It's $6

Bought to use as additional space on my Xbox360 4Gb my wife got me for christmas. Some places mentioned possible issues with matchmaking if playing a game from the thumb drive, but I have had no such issues. Everything loads quickly and I've had no...

Great price, great performance

Copied Music Files and played them

Took 57 minutes for 7.44 GB Music. Max speed 2.44 MB/sec ; Copied same files on a 16 GB Cruzer took 37 min Max speed 3.50 MB/sec ; The Mushkin Prospector is not an ultra fast USB drive

Killer transfer rate! I used the two I bought as extra storage on my 360 and noticed a dramatic change in data transfer speeds as compared to the PNY attache it replaced

Flimsy case if used as a pocket drive

Cheap price (sale at the time), high speed, works well for assisting customers with data storage ; The casing seems attractive. Scored between 20 to 24 megabytes per second on reads, and between 12 and 16 per writes on a full stick test. Not shabby,...

Casing seems flimsy, but most usb sticks seem to swing that way these days. Keep it somewhere safer than a keychain, and you don't risk breaking the key loop. If you sit on your keys or work hard, you will invariably break all but sturdy metallic...

I make my living as an artist. I take flash drives apart and replace the plactic cases with custom built cases made with brass, copper and glass. Each one requires many hours of work so I don't mess around with cheap flash drives. I've taken apart...

Very well put together drive. This seems like a white version of their more expensive mulholland model ; I haven't clocked it but it feels very fast compared to other drives ; The desdription doesn't mention it but it does have a green flashing...

They do what they are supposed to do, and are quick enough for the size. Got them for bootable drives for BIOS updates, memtest, and parted magic.

Bought three at once, all work fine and get 15MB/s read and 8MB/s write

Dont have a back peice that you can put the cap on? None really
