 Good value but slow October 6, 2008
Dr. W. E. Allen (Belfast, UK)
This flash drive is great value at 13 for 8GB, but surprisingly for a modern branded drive it is too slow for Windows Vista's ReadyBoost feature. If you have no need for that function then the drive works well, and is physically a neat design. Does have a pull off cap which would be easy to loose, however at present it would be hard to find such a high capacity drive for this amount or less.
 Poor build October 1, 2008

Was great until plastic hook on end of drive snapped with minimal wear after 20 days. Although I back up data I nearly lost a lot. Sorry guys, need to improve the build quality.

Imagine 2 DVDs or even 11 CDs full of data... pretty big, eh?
Smaller than a penknife, this unit carries all your files between PC or Mac or Linux. I use it for file transfer as well as diagnostic programs.
Invaluable.
Having bought each of the previous Kingston DataTravellers, from 128MB upwards, the 8GB was a must-have for me based on compatibility and reliability.
The cap can be clipped to the end for safekeeping, stops any dust and stuff getting into the contacts unlike some other 'slide to open' units.
It's not compatible with ReadyBoost, but I have little access to Vista systems. My own Vista system has 4GB of RAM so it's unnecessary for me.
From Windows 2000, through Vista, MacOSX and Linux Operating Systems, this is a handy store that you can take with you wherever you go.
All in all a welcome addition to my keyfob.
Great stuff :D July 28, 2008

Small, portable, fast, 8GB is more than enough, works great with my USB DVD player, good quality plastic, 5 year warranty.Definitely recommended.

I purchased this as a way to transfer large files from my PC to my friend & have been more than happy with the results. Not only does it work straight from the box (well, blister pack really), the transfer rate is good & it has handled everything I've thrown at it. I've downloaded straight to it, I've encoded files from it to my HD, & vice-verca with no problems, & although it only runs at USB 2.0 speeds, it's plenty fast enough to do all the things I bought it for. It hasn't let me down & has handled every type of file I've stored on it - I've even installed programs from it. Kingston Technology has done it again, amazing storage device, highly recommended.
