Is key ring loop on the wrong end? Should it not be on the cap so when you unscrew it the drive is free to use? Can it be changed?

This drive is all about safety. I think the thought process there was that if the cap should somehow come off, the drive itself will still be connected to the chain and whatever you have the chain connected to.

For me personally, I am more concerned about the drive and its contents then the cap. You can not change the end its on. I have a short quick disconnect on the drive so I've had no concern. I do love it! Very tough!

Key loop can't be changed....I carry drive in pocket and not on key ring, so it doesn't matter. Agree that with the key ring loop on the drive end there may be less chance of losing the drive or misplacing it. It is one tough drive....I have three (two older and one new 3.0) and all three still work fine after being subjected to whatever I have in my pocket and dropping etc. For me that's the reason to have one of these drives.

This flash drive is compact. Very good manufacturing. You can not modify. I recommend not buying this product. This is for advanced users and does not meet your demands

The key ring is on the end that has the USB but it does not effect how it works and no it can't be changed.

The key ring loop is on the end of the capsule with the drive, not the case. The older Survivor has loops on both ends. This survivor is silver aluminum and not black. If you use the loop on the drive end, there is less of a chance you will loose the drive or leave it in the UBS. It cannot be changed or altered.I suffered a broken cap and Corsair will not replace it.

Here is what I have looked up for you. I, personally, never had the problem. Be careful about formatting these things. I don't. My personal advice to you. Here are more tips that I found: Ed_P Posts: 1,677 Registered: &#8206;07-23-2010 0 Re: HOW TO REMOVE WRITE PROTECTION FROM USB FLASH-DRIVE??? Options &#8206;12-09-2012 07:56 PM R e t u r n i t !! 1st copy the files on it to your hard drive. Then contact SanDisk for an RMA. Then RETURN IT. They will send you a new one that will work, copy the flash drive files you backed up to your hard drive to the new replacement flash drive. Voila, fixed.

sorta, with mine, it disappeared completely, and was nearly impossible to get out, the adapter came with tape on it that apparently was there to help you pull the device out if you needed to take it out. i would recommend the nifty one that costs twice as much if you plan on taking the drive out often, i still use this drive everyday but i never take it out and have locked the drive so i cant accidentally eject it

Yes, need to use the mounting pins from the original drive that was removed. Fits perfectly, no issues.

YEs, make sure that you "mount" the drive correctly first otherwise it won't work. Suggest that TRIM be enabled as well. There should be some installation videos online as well to help you get it working.

It is a pain to change. You must remove the bottom. There are 8 or so screws and they are not the same size. Then you turn it over and pry it apart being very careful not to break the three ribbons {keyboard, power button, and touch pad} Then you must disconnect the ribbons to replace the battery. Hard drive replacement requires removal of a few more screws . If the battery dies and you can't replace it your self you might just want to toss it.

change the key position (I don't remember have to take it off the lock in position of OPEN or leave it in in the position of OPEN) . if you leave it in the lock position it will keep making sound. Please let me know if it worked and what position ? Regards. Nasser. :-)

The same thing happened to me. The key was cut wrong (Sorry Ace Hardware, and they did it FREE). I went to Lowe's, they had a better machine and the re-cut key worked as advertised.

It's not so hard to remove the drive as Dante suggests. However, inerting the blade or screwdriver here and there will mark the case enough to prevent returns. Once inside the base, it can be removed and that allows you to crack the main case. Not much chance of getting it back unmarked though. Then you get the drive out. it is encased in a tin box. The rubber "feet" are actually screws. Remove them and you can probably get the drive out with the tinwork intact. Dunno. I had gone too far at that stage. Anyway, the drive is now running as an SATA drive in my mac, and since the box is USB 2, who cares if it does not work any more? Overall, the drive is probably less bought at a discount store than one bought at trade price as a bare drive. The difference is the warranty. The markings on the drive say clearly it is an OEM drive and has to be returned to the OEMer. HTH

Hi i bought the one with the key hole which was the same price. It worked great. The company i bought it from was great since i had first bought it without the key hole. They exchanged at no additional cost. good luck!

No. You have to have a chip. Migrating the chip from the old key is a major pain.

You shouldn't have to. Try a different port. And also wait up to 60 seconds for the drive to be recognized.

I'm planning on doing the same thing but only have a week or two experience with the enclosure so far. The first one failed and was quickly replaced without much fuss. So far no troubles with the new enclosure though I have not started moving files to the drive. If you are leaving it on for 24 hours you may find the blue LED a waste of energy and annoying in a darkened room. I think it would be a simple matter to unplug the LED. There's no reason it should affect the use of the drive/enclosure.

Different model. Flash drive the same but the other model has no keyring. Check out SDC36-016G-A11 model.

JT, sorry for the delay. I cannot help you, because I immediately removed the key ring, because I do not like noises in my car. The car key case works perfectly and every time, after I close my car, I put the key in my bag.

Not easy. Poke the loop end of the string through the slot on the back of the drive. You might have to use a toothpick or dental pick to get it through. Then insert the metal end through the loop.
