Lacie's MosKeyTo flash drives can be summed up in one word: Miniscule. These things are tiny. What you see here, which looks almost like a bare USB connector, is the [i]entire drive[/i].
Flash drives have always been handy, but carrying one hasn't. These are so tiny that I simply clipped mine to my keyring, and haven't noticed it since. It's so tiny that unless I need it... I usually forget that I even have it. When people ask about it, it usually takes a few minutes before they believe that such a small device could be a flash drive... let alone a 16GB flash drive.
Speeds are quite reasonable, in fact, faster than I expected based on the size and cost. If there is a downside to the MosKeyTo, it would be that it is SO small that on a tight USB slot, sometimes it takes a good grip to be able to pull it out when you're finished.
Now, the downside... while the lanyard is strong, carrying it on my keychain did eventually cause the cover to come loose and get lost. And, after a few months, being exposed to the static of getting carried in a pocket killed it. I've had the same thing happen with most drives that I carried for months without a cover, so that isn't necessarily a problem with the drive itself, just an inherent risk of such a small package.
