Im still using my first 4GB HP pendrive since 2010 and now also its in good condition. It is high performance and reliable may be because of its outer cover made-up of plastic, this give it less weighted and easy to carry. Now a days storage capacity is enhanced and cost decreased so there are so much options in market but people always consider long-life and good performance products and here HP comes, which provide good quality service and products.
Now a day there is metallic-covered HP pendrives are also available in market in affordable cost, USB 3.0 supportable, you can also get here password protection feature which is very cool, so go ahead with your choice, I my case Ive to look storage in PBs. just kidding.
