Review: Excellent buy! - Great flash drive. I didn't do benchmarking or anything like that, but just using it it feels very fast. I regularly transfer videos, music, and PDF files. Previously I was using a Transcend flash drive, and when my kid broke that I was using an SD card with a card reader for a few weeks. This flash drive is MUCH MUCH faster. The first couple times I used it I actually had to open the folder and check to see if my files were there because the transfer was over so quickly I thought there was an error. Not sure how I feel about the software it comes with. Others seems to love it. I don't know if I'll have a use for it, but I'm happy to have the option. A few things just to be aware of: 1. The silver swivel cap in the picture is more a dark titanium gray. Looks very different from the picture. Just in case you care, which I don't. 2. You can't open the swivel cap all the way if you have even a small keyring attached to it. Not an issue, just letting you know. The ring blocks the lid. It does open most of the way. I'll post a picture. 3. The swivel cap does not offer complete protection of the USB plug. Dirt can still get up into it. It's really there to protect the plug from being grabbed or knocked hard, I suppose. I wouldn't go carrying it in your pocket or deep in a purse for long periods of time. Note also that the swivel cap does not lock into place. I think it's fine if you're hooking it to a key chain. My key chain goes from the hook by the door, to the car ignition, to a separate (clean) pocket in my purse. So for me this isn't an issue. However, more complete protection would have been nice. 4. The logo in the center is kinda holographic. Looks nice. 5. There's a green light below the center logo that comes on when the drive is working. I don't remember reading this in the description. I like this feature, so it was a happy surprise. However, it's pretty dim and you have to kind of look for it. 6. It's kind of a tight fit to plug in and unplug. Personally I prefer a little tight to loose! Feels secure. The only problem I've had is that it comes with 2 GB free online storage with SOS Online Backup. Another very nice surprise!!! However, I have not been able to get it to work and SOS has not responded to my inquiries. If anyone knows how to overcome error code 91, let me know. What I love about it: 1. It looks very nice. 2. It offers TONS of storage. 3. It transfers files very quickly!! 4. I can hook it to my key chain (check out the picture). 5. The price!!! Can't beat it for the storage capacity and product quality. All the extras were not necessary for me, and half I didn't even expect. So even though they're not perfect, the product itself exceeds my expectations and earns 5 starts.
Review: Plays nice with other USB devices - I have nothing but PRO's to list. No CON's. 1. When choosing a memory stick, or any USB device, one important consideration is whether the device is so fat is obstrcuts a nearby USB port. This Kensington model fits nicely alongside other USB devices in tight spaces. 2. The rotating cover protects the USB leads without requiring a separate cap. Caps are often lost in USB land, but this Kingston has no such problem. 3. You certainly want the memory to work reliably and integrate flawlessly. Kingston is arguably the #1 brand out there. All computers support Kingston, and Kingston memory sets the standard for reilability. You can argue that certain other brands are as good as Kingston, but none are better. 4. Even the color is cool. I got this one for my 16-year-old daughter's school work. She now has the digital equivalent of the hottest fashion accessory. Other memory sticks are embarassing by comparison. 5. The capacity is enormous. 32GB for such a cheap price in a tiny compact form factor makes the Kingston Data Traveler the ideal choice right now when shopping for a flash drive (a.k.a. thumb drive, memory stick, USB key, etc.). Note that this model is compatible with USB 2.0 and backward compatible with older USB 1.1 computers. USB 2.0 speeds are incredibly fast, and the I/O is not slowed by any moving parts (like external hard drives). One can transfer hundreds of pictures or a few dozen songs in seconds. The new USB 3.0 standard is even faster, but not supported by this Kingston model or by most computers (yet). New models supporting USB 3.0 are available, but their increased price is not worth the minor improvement in upload/download times for typical memory stick usage.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent!! SO MUCH MORE than a Flash Drive - 8 Gigs - Compact
*by D***R on August 27, 2010*

I was looking for a replacement for my son's old 2 Gig Flash Drive. After looking at Amazon's extensive selection, we decided to get this one. Our main deciding factors were price and the amount of Gigs it had to offer - compared to others. It was delivered within a week of placing my order, that's with "Free Super Saver Shipping", too. Upon arrival, I was amazed at the compact and slim line design. This thing is smaller than a standard cigarette lighter! It is also pretty solid. Upon plugging it into my computer, I was pleasantly surprised to find that it has its own programming - that is built into the drive itself. There is even a little video tutorial that pops up once you insert it to your port. I realized that his flash drive actually has a LOT of cool features. It allows you to manage your files and folders in a convenient & logical way. It lets you store and play your music with a built in mp3 player function. They have a special program that lets you organize and explore your photos (built in to the drive). It smartly creates slideshows, which makes it perfect for sharing your pics with family & friends. It even has a built in internet browser - with a little app store - where you can get other cool applications to enhance your info storage. AND besides all of that, they have an optional back-up system that allows you to store your stuff in a back-up cloud storage space. This little thing has its own desktop... so it is extremely easy to navigate and utilize all of these useful functions. I have Windows XP Pro on my desktop, and my son has Windows Vista (on an Acer Laptop no less). Neither of us had any problems sharing, loading or storing data. I was very happy and it was an unexpected bonus to get all of these perks packed into such a compact design. I can't say enough about it. I am going to buy one for myself - that is how happy I am with this Flash Drive. As for the physical attributes - there is a metal top, which twirls around to reveal the USB connector end. Looking at the picture, I thought that the metal part only went so far... but it actually spins around 360 degrees, which is a good thing. It easily allows you to insert the Flash Drive into the port. I was a bit concerned that that silver part was going to block it somehow, or make it a pain to use. But, no problems, actually it is a very smart design! Also, when you swivel the metal part, it does not spin around loosely. It will only open or close if you want it to, which is also a good thing. I am delighted with this flash drive. For the price, I just might buy a FEW, to give as gifts for the upcoming holidays. It's just that cool! This little gadget gets an A+!
