Description: The i-Disk Super Tiny by Pretec is advertised as being "The smallest USB Flash drive in the world". I beleive them - it is indeed very small. It's just under 1cm thick, just under 2cm wide, and around 4cm long.
It has a blue activity indicator LED.

This particular model holds 512MB (499 in reality) in the form (by the looks of it) of 4x128MB chips.

I know this because it appears in /media as four separate drives.

It DOES NOT work with my distro. I'm using SuSE Personal 9.1, with kernel 2.6.4-52-default.

The packaging does specifically advertise Linux 2.4+ compatibility, and I'm told by other sources that my SuSE distro isn't very good with USB drives.

My advice would be that if you have SuSE, don't buy this device, or, conversely, if you have this device, don't get SuSE.
