Is this flash drive good for school, or in 8th grade?

I don't think it matters where you use this product. It wasn't what it was reported to be.

Assuming the student knows how to use a flash drive it should be fine. It will probably not take very much of a beating though and should be handled with reasonable care.

If you mean the flash drive, I don't think there is a limit. I've used an 8gb and 16gb with no problems. I assume it will read a 32gb as well.

I have used a 16 gigabyte flash drive with no issues. I am positive that a 32 gigabyte will be no problem.

Hi William: I have so far had a good experience with the LaCie 3TB minimus (with Windows 7). It is possible I may have a review of it on Amazon. My concerns were largely issues of formatting a 3TB drive. But an official vendor's quote could be taken if you make a pdf of the Amazon page for the relevant product. I would think the same goes for any other site. And give the school a printout of the pdf. They can verify it independently as well once you have given them the pdf. If the school is bureaucratic about it get written quotes from neighbourhood computer stores. That ought to do it. Good luck!!

It's still like brand new. I even have a set of high school keys that are pretty massive and bulky and it hasn't hurt the USB at all.

Define average??!! If you have tons of music, create or use acres of documents or books - maybe not. I did buy a 16 gig microsd card for mine, just in case. 16 gigabytes is a LOT of space - but more is better, right?

9-11 years if you write 50 Gigabytes of data to it everyday :) Don't worry about reading data from it, flash devices (like an SSD) have basically an infinite number of read cycles. Hope this helped!

Thank you for your question. Yes, this is no problem at all, the data can be read like with an usual flash drive on any computer.

I can't answer that but what I can tell you is that my daughter attends one of the premiere art colleges in the US and this was the recommended drive for her to purchase to use for short films and animations. It is fast enough for this purpose.

For flash memory 5 to 10 years max. If you want permanent storage I would look at: m-disc.

It would be perfect for middle schoolers! Inexpensive and does waaaaay more than an iPad does.

It's o.k. for High School, but it's not as mobile as a lap top or tablet. Also does not have a battery so it has to be plugged in all the time. O.K. if it's going to sit on your desk at home. I'd check out laptops or tablets.

You should never feel safe without at least two copies of everything that's important to you. This is the best flash drive I have ever owned but as an It professional I would still not trust it to be the only copy of data I'm worried about losing. I hope this answer helps. :-)

Not unless you have IOMEGA zip disks you need to access. As others have said, it's old technology. You probably want a flash drive that is compatible with current computers.

It will read a flash drive as big as 8 GB. It will not read 16 or more disregarding the formatting of it.

I used it one time to safeguard some files. I took it out to access those files after 3 months and the flash drive is DEAD!!! Tried it on 3 computers, Nothing

Recommend going to ClickFree Website, I had three on mine (use 32 or 64 or higher mg thumb drive) Don't recommend Window 8 on this transformer you should update to the latest ClickFree devise for that.
