Amazon.com: Customer reviews: LEGO Brick 16GB USB 2.0 Flash Drive - With Additional LEGO Brick Toy

Cute and functional

Reviewed in the United States on August 22, 2016

I bought this as a prize / gift for my employees and they love it! Its fun, inexpensive, and functional. The other thing is that it is low profile. Some of the cutsie USB flash drives are nice but wont fit into tight spots because they are too big. This offers the cute factor without sacrificing functionality.

Works great!

This is a nice little flash drive with a lego theme. It seems to work perfectly fine and is a great shape and size to carry around. Some people have reported problems with the connector sliding in by accident but I have not had any issues like that. This is a great little flash drive I can highly recommend.

Cute USB Flash Drive, but it's tricky to use

Ok so this is a cute little USB Flash drive that I got for my 5th grade son to use at school. It's super-cute, but it can be a little tricky to put into the USB port-the plug pushes out, but it's hard to get all of the way into the port because it wants to retract, so you have to holder the slider firmly.

It's an actual LEGO that will fit with other LEGOs so you could potential turn it into something else. However, I had to write "USB" on the side of it with a sharpie so it wouldn't get mistaken for an actual LEGO! (They use LEGOs with storytelling and use LEGO Robotics).

fun little flash drive

Reviewed in the United States on January 22, 2016

What's not to like? It's a USB drive, so you can bring your files around, and it's LEGO. I love Lego. Since it's an actual brick, you can actually use it in builds, so I've put things on it like wheels, and then we push it across the table in the office when we need to share files the old-fashioned way.

The only thing that costs it a star is that the sliding mechanism is a little flimsy -- it's very easy to push it back in inadvertently as you're plugging it in, and that means you won't actually get a connection. Or even when it's all the way in, sometimes you need to wiggle it so the contacts make proper contact. Maybe a more traditional USB head would have been better -- the brick is tall enough anyway to hide a normal USB head. Or maybe a better lock on the slider so that it snaps solidly in the extended position.

Also, while I appreciate why the plastic loop is there, for looping a lanyard around, it means I can't use the brick as a full brick because on one side, I can't put anything next to it. So much for hiding my files in plain sight -- built into the wall of my Lego house!

I would give this product 10 stars if you could stack USB Lego bricks and have their capacity add up. :)

LEGO Quality

Reviewed in the United States on September 6, 2016

LEGOs are classics. My husband recently transferred our VHS family movies to the computer, and I wanted to send my son a copy for his 37th birthday. I looked for a flash drive that would be hard to misplace or forget, and this one did the trick. I've never bought anything from LEGO that wasn't high quality, and this is no exception. It's small and simple, but it's hard to get it mixed up with other flash drives. If I were really creative, I could take the old LEGOs from storage and build something around it before I send it to him.

A Lego Flash Drive?!? SWEET!

I am in the Network Security field and also a student. I have had many flash drives in my day, and I have to say that when it comes to quality, you can't get more for your dollar with any other brand besides PNY! I am a HUGE Lego fan so when I saw this I had to have it. I use this one for my school assignments and to store HD Videos on. It has very fast read/write speeds for a 2.0 connection and it's a dang Lego brick for goodness sake!

If you're a Lego fan and in search of a flash drive, look no further. You will be very satisfied with this product!

Fun USB Drive for Lego Fans!

It's a toy. And a USB stick. But mostly, it's a toy, not a precision piece of electronic gear, but fun nonetheless. Don't buy this if you're wanting to use it all of the time, it's awkward. The bottom has a small plastic slider that pushes out the minimalistic USB prong; it's not a metal-encased plug like you're used to though, it's stripped down and bare-bones. Pre-formatted for Windows, but easy to erase and format it into a Macintosh drive.

I bought the lego flash drive for my nephew who is in college; but was a big lego fan growing up. He loved how novel it is, and is wiling to put up with the less-than-practical aspects of it, such as ease of use. I wouldn't recommend this as a solution for frequent use, more of a novelty.

Cool. Great for the kids

Reviewed in the United States on November 2, 2016

It's a flash drive AND it's a Lego brick. Cool. Great for the kids ... or cleverly disguise secret documents and files in plain sight by incorporating the brick into an existing Lego model. Thieves will never be the wiser!

Only critique is that the picture shows a strap/string clip type thingy attached to the flash drive but it's not included with the item. It was kinda an important feature we wanted so the kids could attach the flash drive to their backpack or equivalent (instead of loose in the bottom of the bag). Easy enough to fix at home but a tad misleading.
