Low profile was great for use in my aftermarket car stereo, until it died 2.5 months after purchase. I used the lanyard to attach the cover to my keychain so that I could put it on my keychain when it wasn't plugged in to my car or computer.
I have since seen many reviews that complain of this problem. However, apparently the drive consists of a microSD card and reader, so if it happens to you, you can tear it apart and get a microSD card out of it.
