I seriously doubt that is true. Plastic is an insulator, and if it covered the contacts, the device wouldn't work. If you look closely at the contacts after the device has been correctly inserted and withdrawn from a USB port, you can see scratch marks in the gold plating caused by friction from the mating contacts in the USB socket.

They have them inside of these security devices that need the check-out chick to unlock at the supermarket. Well, they did not unlock it, and took about 10 minutes with a knife to bust it open. Last time I go supermarket shopping for these items. Anyway, the USB is like a finger nail - tiny, and went straight for my readyboost - terrific. I have 4gb ram, but sees 3gb, and of course with a game like Supreme Commander using at least 2gigs or ram, it does speed it up dramatically using readyboost. Dont believe all who say that readyboost doesnt work. Try exiting a game and wait while the hard drive catches up and allows you to resume control of your computer. Once your hard drive goes into swapped memory it is painful to watch it release this memory. With this USB in readyboost, I left the game and back to windows without a delay. Just what the doctor ordered. Play 81km maps smoothly. Picked up one of these today.

I spoke to verbatim and told them that I was going to test the product as a similar use for my usual purposes.. I was previously using items such as chips to have basically a water proof solution, tough and tidy works as stated... I took the situation to the extremes... Preloaded the chip with data to be verified... I had Frozen them in a cup of water... let the ice melt... got it out of the popscicle, wiped it off... tested to be 100% not being satisified with this, I decided to put the chip into a boiling pot of water... I boiled down the Pot, and retrieved the chip from the boiling water... it was still extremely hot, and not able to be handled with bare hands... it was allowed to stand to cool... wiped off and again retested... again it has worked 100% It was re tested many times, wiped and reloaded.. cycled... and what ever else.. It still works... Its one of the best chips that I have ever purchased and tested. I am not sure of the specific wearlevel of the device, however I have also used other chips in other high demand applications with very little issues.. Nothing is as good as a good backup regardless.. all the same, sticks always end up in soggy backpacks... or sometimes even down in the laundry... I put the chip through a small test of Extremes, from Frozen solid in ice... to a boiling pot of water... trust me, its quite suitable for school projects or work... resistant to water and or accidental flooding. all that was required to use it, was to simply wipe it off in something and plug it in and use it.. if you want something reliable. this is what you want to use. Good Speed, Good Price, Nearly Indestructable. they are extremely tough, and will outlast im sure most daily activities or accidental situations such as water and outdoor situations... These are ideal.. and very tough..
