Kingston USB 2GB Flash Drive

Advantages: Speed of small transfers
Disadvantages: No ReadyBoost, feels cheap

...Hi today I will be reviewing a Kingston DataTravler 2GB USB Flash Drive. I bought this a few months ago after losing my other flash drive. It cost me 9.97 from PC World but I believe you can get them cheaper in other places. Speed For the data that I transfer to it i.e. pictures and some small visual basic programs it transfers them extremely quick compared to some cheap flash drives I have used in the past. Problems So far I have had no major problems other than in windows vista it is not capable of running ReadyBoost which a free flash drive I had a while ago could. Size The overall size of the flash drive is quiet good the USB connector slides in and out with a rather flimsy press and slide switch. Feel The Kingston feels rather cheap and plastic considering the price I paid for it anyway. Over all this is not a bad...

Review of Kingston DataTraveler 100 - USB flash drive - 2 GB

Kingston 1Gb Flash Drive

Advantages: Compact, fast, reliable
Disadvantages: Lack of transportation strap

...I remember when USB flash drives hit the market a few years back when you could fit a staggering 16Mb worth of data on a device the size of your middle finger. Since then capacity has increased and prices have decreased at an alarming rate. For example you can now get 4Gb flash drives for cheaper than the original 16Mb drives which represents great value for money. --Whats in the box -- Contents of the box are minimalistic to say the least, there is the drive itself and a little strap which you can then use to attach the drive to your belt/keyring, etc. This device really is plug and play in its simplest form, there arent even any instructions supplied with it, mainly because none are required. -- Useage -- Plugging the drive into a spare USB slot will give you an extra drive in Windows Explorer (My Computer) typically F...

Review of Kingston DataTraveler I - USB flash drive - 1 GB

Very good 16GB flash drive for clumsy people!

Advantages: Water proof, Vista and Ubuntu compatible, good read performance
Disadvantages: A bit expensive

...Over the last few years, Corsair has been on the forefront of leading flash drive innovations, which started with their Flash Voyager series but quickly expanded into their Flash Voyager GT, Flash Survivor GT, and Flash Padlock series. What are the big advantages? First of all, there is a high durability, it is shockproof and it is even water resistant! You don't have to worry that you dropped the USB flash drive in your bath or you forget to take it out of your pants and it's in the washing machine. It even withstand if you drop it out of the window from the first floor. This is what the rubber shell has to offer and I can guarantee that's not that bad to have it. An accident happens very fast! It has a huge storage capacity. There are now already 32 GB flash drives at the market, but I think 16 GB is more than enough. If you...

Review of Corsair Flash Voyager USB flash drive - 16 GB

Kingston DataTraveler USB flash drive - 2 GB

Advantages: fast, lifetime-warranty
Disadvantages: nothing

...I gave my 2GB Kingston flash drive a few months ago and I think it's really great. I can use it for Microsoft Windows Vista ReadyBoost to speed up my PC. It's not too expensive and it has got a life-time warranty. It's really fast and every operating system contents a driver to use it. If you want to buy a somewhat cheap flash drive, and need a good quality buy that. Most of new PCs can boot from USB nowadays. Thanks to the USB 2.0 technology I can boot up my favourite live Linux distribution from it and I can save it back when I finished the work. You can use it for system rescue too but if you don't need these special "features" just use it to store and move data. :)...

Review of Kingston DataTraveler I - USB flash drive - 2 GB

Super cheap high memory flash memory stick

Advantages: Cheap!! High memory
Disadvantages: None, Nothing wrong with it!

...As with many people out there, the USB flash drive device is a very important part of my life. Any documents that i produce on the PC are always backed up on the memory stick just in case the PC crashes and everything is lost. Not only would this take a lot of time to sort out, but for many peopleit would also cost them money. Before going out and buying this, I had one of the small sony flash drives, that i have already given a review of. When i unfortunately lost that one i had to go and buy another, i needed one that had a large memory capacity, and one that wasnt going to cost me and arm and a leg. The first port of call for me is alwayd amazon, where i stumbled across this, the Kingston Data Traveller, 8GB memory stick. Not only was it big enough for what i needed, it was also a steal at £16. My device is black in colour...

Review of Kingston DataTraveler 100 - USB flash drive - 8 GB

King of the Flashes

Advantages: Portable high capacity storage
Disadvantages: Easy to lose

...The Kingston 4GB DataTraveler is a no-frills convenient and affordable USB flash drive. Compact USB flash memory drives have are an increasingly popular means of storing portable data. They are an efficient way of conveniently saving files for storage or as a quick and easy means of transferring your data from one computer to another. They have more or less replaced CDs as the principle storage device for making back up copies of data. Data flash drives are really the true replacements of the floppy disks used in the 1980s and 90s. Sometimes known as Flash Keys, they are versatile devices that are light and easy to carry. They can easily be slipped into a pocket or, depending upon the design, sometimes you can clip them onto a key ring. The design of this flash key is advantageous because the loop through which you can attach a key ring...

Review of Kingston DataTraveler I - USB flash drive - 4 GB

Kingston USB flash drive

Advantages: Small, stylish, very lightweight yet seems robust
Disadvantages: I suppose it's only 128mb yet plenty for my use

...Purchased this from ebuyer for a mere £8 - its now gone up a bit - but still a bargin. I mainly bought it to store backups of important letters and spread sheets, however thought I would see how it worked first with it being so cheap. Plugged it in to my USB port and sure enough XP recognised it staight away ( you can download drivers for 98 etc as they are not supplied). For my first time using one of these Flash Memory Drives it was very easy, it appeared as an extra hard drive under "my computer" in XP, opened it up and decided to copy and paste a few pictures to take around to a mates PC - just to see how it went. The jargon on back of packet says you can store 96 pictures from a 3MPcamera - I'm already up to 100 and it will take more - so it obviously depends how your camera compresses them. For those who want to know they...

Store all your memories in a flash

Advantages: Easy to use, plug and play, great storage
Disadvantages: U3 technology can be a little annoying at first

...As anyone who has ever browsed through any of my previous review will know that I tend to like using flash drives, aka pen drives, as I find them a lot quicker to transfer data from PC to PC, as long as you do the usual virus check before hand. Anyway, I am the proud owner of several of these little technical miracles from many different manufacturers, such as Kingston, Bytestor and Integral. But I have to admit that one of my most favourite Flash drives has to be from the boffins who work for SanDisk, as I have many of these branded products with various memory storage sizes, from a mere 1GB to a rather eye watering 32GB? and it is the SanDisk Cruzer micro 16GB which I am talking about today ** First the technical bits? * Operating system required? Microsoft Windows XP/2000 (SP4), Vista and Mac X10.1.2 or later. * Windows ready...

Review of SanDisk Cruzer Micro - USB flash drive - 16 GB

Kingston

Advantages: Good Value Product
Disadvantages: None

...This is a good quality product that offers good value for money in the very short term. Although as with most electronic products, the value will deteriorate over time and should be able to get a cheaper version next year. It's a great little device with plenty of features that I would highly recommend. This really is a wonderful piece of kit that should go well with many accessories because it really looks good. However, always think carefully as to whether you actually really need something before you buy it. We buy so many things nowadays that we don't really need. I bought my drive in a big storel but the cheapest place online that I found was at www.amazon.com. Here you can buy them for about £20....

Review of Kingston DataTraveler Elite - USB flash drive - 512 MB

A slim and compact USB Flash Drive.

Advantages: Slim, compact, very trendy outlook and fast performance.
Disadvantages: None really.

...with this slim USB flash drive. FINAL THOUGHT AND RECOMENDATION I am really happy with this USB flash drive. Though you can get it from only 43 p from Amazon.uk but the delivery charge is really high as 4.39 GBP. So I suggest you buy a flash drive with bigger storage capacity such as 8 GB or 16 GB. For example the 8 GB one costs you around 10-15 GBP with free delivery from Amazon.Uk. Thanks for reading my review. ©Gladiator007 ***This review is also posted on Helium and Dooyoo under same user name***...
