Is this very durable? It looks like plastic, which may break easily? I can't find their 128GB USB 3.0 in metal, which I prefer. Anyone?

From my experience it's wicked awesome~! It is plastic but it's well put together and you can't really break it or take it apart; unless you really wanted to.

I bought this for my friend and she has had it for over a year now and it's working perfectly.

Mine died (the USB) and I sent it back for replacement. No problems since. That has been 6 months ago. I think they had some issues that may have been corrected.

It's plastic and I question whether it would survive long term attachment to a keychain. I think the weight of keys might be an issue. So while I can't give you a definite no, I'm kind of leaning that way.

I've had it on my key chain for over 2 years now and it shows no wear. It was even thrown into salt water a year ago, retrieved from the bottom of the dock, rinsed off about an hour later, and has continued to work perfectly. Toughest USB stick I've ever encountered!!

No, I would not call it any more rugged than any other laptop. The shell is the regular plastic that is not terribly thick/stiff. Also, the CD drive opens EXTREMELY easily and would cause a ruggedness issue. I had to get software to disable the disc drive because it was such a problem.

No, it's plastic. Strong ? I don't think you could call it strong. In and out of a pocket or purse time and time again, I would expect it or any other Thumb drive to break over time. It has an aluminum body, it's fast, but strong ? No

External drives are better in quality and durability. I have both and prefer the external.

The microSD connection is as durable as any typical SD card reader. I've had mine for 2 years and have no issues. The usb connection is steel and will last a long time. I've used plastic microSD card readers in the past and they were broken in only a few weeks of use.

Hey, I am using this product usb 2.0 over an year. I bought one more flash drive 3.0 for my mom. It works great for me. You might have the defect in product. Ask seller to replace as this one is weird issue you described. You might wanna give a try to format the usb drive and then see if problem still exists. If yes then ask seller for the replacement.

It is plastic... Kind of hard plastic...For me, manual drive option did not work shortly after 30 days, I was told I have pay for the parts. They literally counted the days from the day I placed the order and told me that I was past 30 day mark... Never got to replace the parts... Beware of their customer service...

Has no cap in the USB end, do not know if water gets into it would it ruin it, I do not know. Always keep back-up files on another disk. Write the company about it and ask them? I think it is the best USB out there I have used because it makes it so easy to pull out of the computer! I think all water hurts electronics my guessing you need the company's opinion there. Think I read it is an zinc alloy? Do love it and had no problems at all! Kim

My first one lasted well over one year before it started to fall apart. Probably close to 2 years, but I am pretty gentle using my devices. I agree the low price is worth the length of time it lasted.

actualy it's super solid. all metal. even the "smooth" plastic covers feel solid. the only plastic thingies that are not that solid are the drive sliders, shich sadly one of my doggies dropped and now it's broken. (it fell with the hard drive mounted) but im pretty happy with the thing. and it's mush bigger tan it looks, i was on the idea this one was small. but nope. i like it a lot.

It is probably as durable as the cable supplied by Apple, I have had no trouble with mine.

No, while it won't break immediately it will not stand up to that kind of scenario long term meaning over years which is what one would expect to be the lifespan of a 128GB capacity flash drive.Further it's relatively HUGE physical dimensions to put on a keyring relative to the other alternative flash drives on the market including many with a more durable metal key ring loop.

I don't know about that but I had 2 and 2 in one with no problems except the usb connection in the back is made of plastic and was VERY loose kept disconnecting. I don't even use them anymore and I have 4 of them.

I highly recommend this one, we own 3 of them and they have been rock solid for us for about the last 3 years. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817392044&nm_mc=KNC-GoogleAdwords-PC&cm_mmc=KNC-GoogleAdwords-PC-_-pla-_-Hard+Drive+Enclosures-_-N82E16817392044&gclid=CjwKEAjw56moBRD8_4-AgoOqhV4SJADWWVCcTrv06Ew4bvd9ASwWY7J922tvEgOMrHRcKMA6u91ixxoCMWfw_wcB&gclsrc=aw.ds
