Kingston 8GB DataTraveler USB flash drive - High Speed USB Reviews
I guess a 8gb flash drive is a lot of memory and the kingston drive is well worth, it works fast and is like a plug in and use.
Only thing I don't like is the cap, I'm afraid i might loose it. When it's plugged in the cap does fit snugly on the back though. It should have a little tether to it or something so it can't be separated from the drive. Works great, it seems pretty fast and it wasn't very expensive considering it's eight gigs.
While the data storage works as expected the plastic piece broke when I placed on my key ring. Very cheap plastic.
I have little doubt that, one year or two years from now the 16GB version may be available for about the same price or less but, until then, I have 'stuff' that I need to take with me and I am glad to be able to have something I purchased for, almost literally, the price of 'peanuts' - well. being as small as they are, you must be VERY careful not to lose them or misplace them - that's why I encrypt everything that's not supposed to be 'public'. I bought 2 of the 4GB variety some 10 months ago at about $25 each. I take them with me on the road, loaded with whatever I need for my trip and I don't need to worry about bringing a laptop along. I have little negative to say about this little devices other than. I usually have a 'public' partition and an encrypted section for the more sensitive files.
Each flash drive is viewed by the computer as a 'disk', meaning that it can be formatted, even partitioned. I was happy when I saw the 8GB for a lot less a few days ago. That was considered a great bargain at the time. I am using the DataTravelers for exactly what the name implies. airport or minibar peanuts :).
I would buy this again as I more or less have. The price on flash drives continue to drop and this 8GB stick is very economical. I have several (err, had as I gave them to my kids for school use) 1GB versions of this stick that have worked and lasted well. It has a removable cap that can be snapped onto the other end rather than to leave loose to lose and a clip for a lanyard on the end. LOL The lanyard clip is plastic and I don't know how well it would hold up as I just pocket this stick,but it appears solid enough for a plastic clip. It's light, compact and durable.
