3 Stars Does its job – after tweaking.
Having lost my 1GB data traveler, I thought it time to step up to something more substantial – the 16GB version. At first, I was very disappointed. For some reason, it kept getting corrupted, and I’d lose recently saved files. This happened in both WinXP and Win2K, despite using proper eject sequences. I had this happen several times. Needless to say, I wasn’t happy. Fortunately I was able to recover most of the work, but losing and recovering 8 hours worth of typing is far, far worse than not losing it at all. Note that these files were nowhere near the size limits for FAT.

My solution – reformatting to NTFS. I know this creates problems for Mac users that Fat16/32 don’t have, but I don’t use a Mac (so no lost stars there). Since reformatting, my disk has been completely stable. -2 stars for losing my data and making me reformat it to work properly. And while I don’t have problems losing the cap, I would like a larger and more substantial lanyard hole.

Some performance info (using eXibition SW “Drive Speed Test”):

1MB write 0.876s

1MB read 1.173s

10MB write 7.251s

10MB read 5.079s

Overall write speed 16,934 KB/s

Overall read speed 33,862 KB/s

File copy speed (10 MB) 6.313s

Directory lookup (10000 files) 5.141s

File delete (20 MB) 0.016s

For comparison sake, my 1TB SATA drive’s overall write speed is 40,134 KB/s and overall read speed is 35,019KB/s. These tests were done on a P2.6GHz HT with 3GB dual channel ram running Win2K.

I purchased two of these thumbdrives and they work great. They are small and allow for other USB devices to be connected without causing space issues.

They disconnect easily. Overall, I am pleased. Kingston makes great product that can be counted on time and time again.

A little slow for large transfers, but the price was very good and it suits my needs. Easy to use and works well.

The usb flash drive arrived at the specified time of delivery and was well packaged and at a very available price of purchase. I was able to use the product right away and it has worked very well for use with my computer. I will be using it frequently for my schoolwork.Thank you for the quick service and delivery of the flash drive for my computer.

2 Stars Very Slow
I have used Kingston DT100/4GB flash drives for some time and bought 2 of these DT 1’s expecting them to preform the same. They do not! These are MUCH slower than the DT100/4GB. I have just ordered 2 more DT100’s and will throw the DT 1’s in the garbage when the new DT100’s arrive.

5 Stars Cheap and works
I picked this up for cheap. It had no bad sectors and works fine. Thanks again

5 Stars Mini USB data storage device
This is a great little storage device which nicely allows me to transfer my data between computers. It appears that it would be a great device for tranferring digital photos.

5 Stars 4GB Flash Drive
This Flash drive works perfect with all my school needs. It holds enough memory and it has a good price to it. I use it to transfer all the school data around and use it when I have to present something in class and its compatible with everything. i haven’t had any problems with it. I highly recommend this for the price it had. =D
