Nice and tiny. Less likely to get bumped when in use...
2GB and ok price. It should work right?

I haven't used it, however all other USB storage devices I have, including a similar-looking Kingmax 1G stick, worked fine (unless inserted upside down, what is an easy mistake to make in the absence of connector shroud).

I have used other PNY devices without any problems. The specs say the 2GB PNY Micro Attache USB Flash Drive is compatible with Windows ME/2000/XP, Linux and MacOS. You can get it on eBay for about $13 w/shipping.

I don't see why it wouldn't work. I have not tried this specific stick, but have used other pny sticks with no problem. Actually, I have used a bunch of different usb sticks, and never had an issue with any of them. I think when it comes to these, they are all pretty much standard, though I could be wrong. Does anyone know anything about pst repair? I can use some help. Thank you.

The one thing I'd be a bit wary of is whether it was a genuine piece of PNY kit, or a counterfeit :/  Lots of those running around in the China market (and, by extension, on eBay).

It's also not that much smaller than the usual USB stick - it still protrudes from a USB slot quite a distance, albeit somewhat less than the usual stick-with-case-and-shroud.

If you get one from DX or eBay, immediately test it with one of the available flash memory test-and-verify programs - something like h2testw, available here: http://fightflashfraud.wordpress.com/2008/11/24/h2testw-gold-standard-in-detecting-fake-capacity-flash/ - and do let people know what you find!
