    I heard a lot about U3 on a usb drive and how bad it was -- just wondering who likes it - I actually like it - I like the security password and the password programs available...

    Just what is the big "problem" with U3?

    I like U2.

    But I've never heard of "U3". I'm not familiar with the term....

    I've been using a U3 flash drive for over year, and I love it. I like the password feature.

    I think U3 is a pretty neat feature, but then again, I don't really have any information that is currently password worthy.

    I hated it because it was always so slow when you first start, and I just wanted a flash drive to hold my files. I wiped it clean and never have regretted it.
