Great for the most part, beware fragile casing

Great for the most part, beware fragile casing
These offer a fantastic tradeoff between size, storage, and portability. USB 3.0 support is a nice plus, especially if you want to use these for live CDs. They seem to have a strange failure mechanism however, which is a fragile area around the plastic "ring" in the casing. I am now more gentle with insertion/removal and haven't recreated the failure mechanism since, so it is difficult to know if this is a common point-of-failure or a one-time fluke. I'd recommend handling these carefully.
