    I don't have the 16GB so I can't really say. However, I do have the 1GB and 4GB and I can tell you that the 1GB is much faster than the 4GB. I don't even like using my 4GB because the 1GB is so much faster. Hopefully the 16GB will be faster than the 4 becuse its pretty slow.

    Could be. I love the design and size of the jump drive and I'm very happy with the 1GB. I was really dissappointed in the 4GB and will probably not buy another one. It's hard to find a small jump drive like that with good speed.

    Not great I'm afraid:
    Read speed - 10 Mbs
    Write speed - 5Mbs

    Rule of thumb is, if they don't mention it, it's not worth mentioning :D
