Pros: Postage Stamp sized
Full SD card
Embedded full size male USB connector
Transfers rated speed
Cons: Slightly tight USB insertion
Delicate plastic
Not keyed for USB orientation
The Bottom Line: Tiny. Best of both worlds, a fast Secure Digital card and a USB drive in a single tiny package.

Although not labeled as such. This is the "plus" version of the Sandisk Secure Digital card. It contains a built in USB connector. It folds in half, exposing the USB male connector, which allows you to insert it directly into any USB port. This is nice considering how tiny a Secure Digital card is(postage stamp size).
I bought this as a result of purchasing a digital camera. Most consumer digital cameras only support the slower mode of USB 2.0. This card allows you to insert this into a USB slot without a reader. In this mode it will transfer at the cards rated speed.
It is very delicate being plastic. You must treat it with care. The USB connector was a little tight inserting into my USB port. Enough that it scraped the sides and provided a fair amount of friction. Removal of less than .5mm would make it smooth to insert. Despite that single flaw it works well.
The package came with a plastic clamshell case, and a bonus keychain case.
What really stands out is how much smaller this is than a typical USB key. This is the size of a postage stamp but is both a full USB drive but in a Secure Digital (SD) card format, insertable into any device that will accept an SD card.
