My first thought when I saw this USB Key was that it looked very similar to the Pen drive [click here] although the unit is smaller than the Pen drives casing.
On the front of the unit you have a blue Seitec logo inlayed into the unit, which also covers an amber LED which when connected to a system shows you if the drive is in use etc. To the right of that you have a small hole which is designed to be used with the provided neck strap or could be used to fit onto a key ring.
On one side of the unit there is a small switch, which is used to enable a write protection feature. This is a problem in my opinion as the switch is so thin and hard to get to as the edge of it was not protruding at all, the only way I could move the switch was to use a pin, and even with that it wasn't immediately achieved.
On the other side there is another sticker, which depicts a serial number, and then on the reverse is a small sticker stating the drives capacity (32MB) and a small raised block, which reduces the amount of movement when placed onto a flat surface.
At the end of the drive is the USB connector this is of standard length. The benefit of this drive is that the casing is not too bulky which on some drives restricts the amount of movement to allow the drive to be connected to a system easily. Some drives to attempt to bypass this have made the USB connector end longer and more exposed this drive does not require this and by doing so keeps the unit very compact.
