Pen drive is now a very popular, reliable and handy device to transferelectronic data. As it is USB driven, the built should be strong so that you can use it several times and keep it in your pocket or bag without worrying about its physical protection.
As we all know Kingston is a trusted brand for all type of memory solutions. But this time I am very unsatisfied with the pen drive model Kingston data traveler 100. I bought this pen drive in July 2007 having 4 GB of storage capacity and 5 years of warranty. After using 6 month the case became loose and the USB case started producing sound but still it was working. After next 15 days the USB was not detected by my computer. When I went to the Kingston warranty center they told me that it can't be replaced because the case was loose and they told me that it is physical damage. My friend has also bought same pen drive and his usb case also becoming loose day by day. I must say that the case is very weak. Since the model is designed on a sliding plate which came out with USB knob and again goes in on pushing, so it's very natural that after using 50-100 times the case becomes loose. But pen drive is such a thing which is used several times in a day so it must be robotic.
The main disadvantage of this pendrive is.
1. The model is very delicate 2. Does not have any antivirus software installed. 3. Do not have any facility for authentication.
But the main disadvantage is that this model is very delicate.
Now, if you want to buy a sliding stylish and strong pen drive go for SanDisk Cruzer Micro. This has following advantages.
1. The model is strong. 2. Having installed antivirus. 3. Having facility for authentication.
If you can spent a little more go for SanDisk Ultra® Titanium which one of the strongest pen drive having titanium body which is very strong and looks very stylish. It has all the above feature. Check out this on. http://www.sandisk.com/Products/Default.aspx?CatID=1167
