Updated:12-05-06
Duration of ownership:10 Days
Strengths: Huge space, cheap and good quality
Weaknesses: It's slow.
Overall Evaluation: I bought this flash drive for the low price and huge space. I would like to copy many portable open source application like portable Firefox, portable Thunderbird with me so I can check email anywhere using my email agent. The space is large enough to hold these application, but the speed is slow than my 1 GB flash drive. For the price and the quality, it's a good flash drive

Duration of ownership:2 Weeks
Strengths: Small size and large storage
Weaknesses: None so far
Overall Evaluation: This is a great usb drive due to a few facts. First, it is very small and each to carry in your pocket or on your key chain. Second, it is usb 2.0 and the data transfer speed is very fast than some old drives. Third, it is a 2gb drive and it is large enough to carry thousands of pictures, or even huge data. Of course it is stable so far, and there is no problem getting recornized by different computers.

Strengths: Small, easy to carry, nice design.
Weaknesses: None so far.
Overall Evaluation: I bought it on Buy.com's promotion, the price was great for a 2gb usb drive. It is big enough to carry your movie files, this is the best part I love! It has a small hole at the end so that you can put it int your keychain, very handy. Transfer rates are pretty nice. You will not regret your purchase, if you buy one. Definitely receommended.

Strengths: Plug and play, small and sturdy
Weaknesses: A bit slow
Overall Evaluation: The flash deive is pretty well-made and easy to use. Files transfer is on the slow side but is still in the acceptable range. 5 year warranty is nice. For its low price (after rebate), this is definitely worth getting.

Strengths: Small; Reliable
Weaknesses: None so far
Overall Evaluation: This usb driver is very nice. It works great under linux. The timing cached reads reached 1748.15 MB/sec and the timing buffered disk reads reached 10.25 MB/sec. That means it's reading speed outperforms most of the other band (Iomega, Transcend, Fuji, Sandisk,PNY...etc). For writing speed, it takes around 4 minutes to copy a 400MB file, which is around 1.65MB/s. I will say it is not bad for writing performance( 4 out of 5 among all the usb drive band). In a nutshell, i am pretty satisfied with this usb drive.

Strengths: - Speeds as advertised- Cap stays securely - Cap can snap on opposite end when in use- Great warranty
Weaknesses: - awkward keychain attachment- Cap can be difficult to remove (pro/con)
Overall Evaluation: I purchased this drive because it was a great price, and I am a fan of Kingston products. They have good customer service, and the warranty is great. Below are some speed test I did with this drive. While it may not be the fastest drive, it performs as advertised. WRITE SPEED I just transferred 500MB of mp3s (94 files) in 118 seconds. Which equals to 4.24MB/sec. I then transferred (1) 100MB file, it took 20 seconds. Which equals to 5MB/sec. READ SPEED Transferred same 500MB of mp3s to a new folder on my desktop in 48 seconds. Which equals to 10.42MB/sec. Transferred same 100MB file to folder on desktop in 9 seconds. Which equals 11.11MB/sec.

Duration of ownership:
Strengths: big enough storage and fast data transfer
Weaknesses: no
Overall Evaluation: This is a great usb flash drive. It's my first big storage flash drive, replacing my old 512Mb one. It is spacious enough for me to transfer my everyday data, even a movie. Now I don't worry about the size of the files anymore. The transfering speed is also very quick. It is also very small so I can put it in my pocket. Anyway it is a great usb drive, love it.
