 Rating:  - Poor buildWas 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. Rating:  - Small is beautiful...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. Rating: - Great stuff :DSmall, portable, fast, 8GB is more than enough, works great with my USB DVD player, good quality plastic, 5 year warranty.Definitely recommended. Rating: - Simple, fast & reliableI 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. Rating:  - Compact, Smart, No U3, Real-time PlaybackIt's hard to review a product as seemingly simple as a USB Flash Drive, but I'll have a go... I bought this Kingston Technology 8GB USB 2.0 Flash Drive because I wanted a Flash Drive to use with my Apple Aluminium Keyboard. If you're familiar with this keyboard you'll know it has 2 USB 2.0 ports, which is great. The problem is, the keyboard is so flat that clearance is very tight. So a poorly designed, chunky Flash Drive is unlikely to fit into it. Fortunately, this Kingston Flash Drive is so compact that it fits perfectly into either of the 2 ports on the Apple Aluminium Keyboard, and sticks out of the side by just 3cm. Another reason why I bought this Flash Drive was for its design. It looks simple and smart. Some other Flash Drives are overly fussy with horrid colour schemes. This Flash Drive is just white and black, which, again, looks great with the Apple Aluminium Keyboard. What repelled me from buying a SanDisk Flash Drive is their obsession with bundling software on them. I mean, who buys a Flash Drive for its software? To me, that's nuts. Honestly, whose idea was that? That's like buying blank DVD-Rs with software pre-installed on them, to "help" you. No thanks. If I want software installed on my Flash Drive, I'll do it myself. And this is where having a Mac comes in handy. You don't need to install software the old-fashioned Windows way. You can just drag-and-drop entire Applications on to something like this Flash Drive, and run them off it. So for example, you could download Google Earth, drag its single icon to your Flash Drive, and that's it, you're done. You've "installed" a piece of software, not on your computer's internal Hard Drive, but on this tiny external Flash Drive. Plug it into any Mac you want, and you can run your Application straight off it. Ok, what about performance? I haven't got a hugely scientific way of testing the speed of this Flash Drive. But what I can tell you is, I can open and play a 1280 x 544 H.264 movie trailer off it, instantly. Absolutely no delay. And I can scrub back and forth through the video file, while it's playing, all in real-time. No loading, no waiting. So, as far as I'm concerned, the performance is great.
