When I was doing some research for this review, I found a few websites talking about the same problem as you described. To me, it had looked like it was a bad batch or something, and that the comments stopped awhile before I wrote the review, so I didn't want to mention it. here is one of the blog posts describing your problem, and it looks like ATP didn't help any of those customers either... http://weblogs.asp.net/rchartier/archive/2006/08/30/The-ATP-ToughDrive-_1320_-Not-so-tough.aspx I used the ATP ToughDrive for probably a month or two before writing the review, and I am a fairly heavy flash-drive user (I was reformatting and installing live-boot linux distros on it all the time) I never had a problem with the drive loosing data or anything. Unfortunately, I lost the flash drive a few weeks after the review completed, (left it in a library or something!) so even if mine was about to fail, I wouldn't know. Sorry I didn't mention it in the review, I'll make sure to do if I see any potential problems in other products. Norah, this is the reviewer, Cameron.

I can find review after review about how tough ATP's Tough Drives are, but within one use mine broke in two and ATP will not even respond to my Technicians request to honor the warranty. How is it possible that this company has survived this many years with such poor customer service. I am very frustrated.
