Kingston Technology 2GB DataTraveler USB Flash Drive

Reviewed by: Kcin1

Duration of ownership: 2 Months

Strengths: High Performance Transfer Rate

Weaknesses: Looks

Overall: Its a great flash drive, plenty of space, and more than enough for me. It transfers all types of files quickly, and does everything I need it to do. The only reason you wouldn't want to buy it is because of it's looks as to fanciness.

Strengths: compatibility

Weaknesses: size

Overall: This is a very nice drive. I bought it because I need to carry around lots of large files. This works great for what I need to do with it. Goes back and forth between Mac and PC without a problem. It transfers files quickly. I've had no problem with it so far. The only small complaint I would have is that the drive itself is pretty big in size when compared to other flash drives, but it's not a big deal.

Strengths: Small, cheap. transfer speed is OK.

Weaknesses: cheap looking.

Overall: It is big. 2GB is enough for almost every thing. It is small, easy to carry. It is reliable. I used it for almost one year and never run into any problem with my data. File transfer speed is OK. But it looks cheap making, especially the green color makes it looks not so good.

Strengths: USB2.0. 5.2MB/sec write, 10.4MB/sec read Functional and small. Drives are color coded by size.

Weaknesses: Plastic case. Nothing unique about the looks.

Overall: My informal experiments yield a write speed of 5.2 MB/sec and read speed of 10.4 MB/sec. Nice small drive. Unlike other manufacturers, Kingston has kept the apperance of the drive fairly simple. The plastic cap doesnt inspire a great deal of faith. Each size (like 512, 1GB, 2GB) has the same basic white color with a different color band (green for 2GB). XP recognizes it very quickly as a flash drive; unlike some other drives I have where there is a delay.

Strengths: Small size, large capacity (2GB)

Weaknesses: NA

Overall: Tbe drive is very cute and comes with a string that can attach it to a keychain. Usually it takes about 1 minute to copy files of 500 mb to it. The reading speed is even faster. Also the drive looks firm, and there is not much heat after a long time of use. The drive comes with a long time warranty.
