No-Nonsense Thumb Drive December 25, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
When the time came to look for a 16 gb thumb drive, I decided to go with Kingston DataTraveler based on one year of 100% positive experience with their 4 gb memory stick. So far I am glad I did. This 16 gb drive is sturdy and has a quality feel to it. Data transfer speeds are plenty fast for my backup needs, especially at the $32 price range. It took about 40 min to load up 15+ Gb worth of small files onto the drive.
The device is lightning fast to mount and stop. There is no pre-loaded adware. The cap attaches securely, just as tight as the one on the 4 gb thumb drive did, and I never encountered problems with the cap on the old one coming off. On the downside, there is no lanyard included, but for most people this is not a dealbreaker. I do not know how this memory stick will perform in the long term, but the older DataTraveler drives were known for their reliability.
Verdict: Solid product for the price.
I normally don't bother reviewing stuff like this... December 22, 2008

But after reading some of what is here, I felt the need to chime in and give this item the credit it is due and the positive rating it has earned.
Do I care about color schemes? No. Do I care about the possibility of cap loss? No; I tend to take good care of devices that contain sensitive or personal data. Do I care that a supplier may have delivery issues? Well, yes; but I'm not going to penalize an item and skew perceptions just so I can vent.
I own two drives of this same design and have nothing negative to say about them. Of these drives I ask very little - provide a bunch of storage space and don't lose my data. They do both of these very well.
One last word on the cap-less design: it may be a great choice for those who lose parts to stuff, but I have a hunch that the 'catch' that prevents unintended retraction will become worn after a time, rendering it difficult to use. A drive of this design that I have been borrowing from a friend is starting to show signs of this behavior and it's only a few months old. I could be wrong about this prediction, but I do know that the capped design will never experience this.
Terrific product at a bargain price December 17, 2008

This was bought from a third party seller but the shipping was free and FedEx delivered it to me just a few days after ordering. The product works great. It does not transfer data as quickly as some of the high-end USB flash drives but at less than $30 for a 16 gb drive, this was a terrific bargain. As for the complaint that the cover cap can get lost easily, I keep my drive in a drawer and don't bring it from place to place so this doesn't affect me. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED to anyone on a budget who needs room for lots of data storage.
Holds everything December 15, 2008

My computer has been reminding me lately that it is full. Too many downloads clogging up the memory. The only solution to that is either to purge all of my goodies, or to transfer them to an external drive.
The Kingston DataTraveler has a good reputation, is inexpensive and easy to use. I wanted a drive that could hold a lot of information, so I went with the 16GB which had the most bang for my buck.
I am happy to say that all of my movies went right onto the drive without filling it up. It took the burden off my computer, which improved the speed and freed up enough space to start collecting some new goodies.
Even better, because my DVD player, the Philips all-region 1080i upscaling DVD player, has a USB port, I can pop the DataTraveler drive into my DVD player and watch my movies right on my TV.
