I've been using this for some time, and it works like a charm. Easy to use and works great on several of my flash drives. Recommended.

I give it a 3 because it sounds like a promising replacement for Sandisk's U3 crapware.

But when I try to download it my employers firewall blocks it and gives this message...

The author might want to pick a different host for their downloads.

I bumped it up to a 4 after I downloaded it at home. Definantly a perfect replacement for Sandisk's lame U3.

The one thing thing that would make it a 5 would be the close all running apps also eject (safely remove) the flash drive. That was the ONLY thing good about U3.
