USB 2.0 speeds are incredibly fast, and the I/O is not slowed by any moving parts (like external hard drives).

The drive has been compatible on the several laptops and desktops I've used in on and works reasonably fast enough (though I do have low expectations when it comes to flash drives).

Would recommend to anyone who is looking for a decent speed 32GB usb drive.

This is a great USB flash drive

I have just transferred some software files that were on the drive to hard drive and it took 1 minute to transfer 128Mb.

I've had an old 16 GB (black) drive just like this for about 3 years and it still works fine after going through the laundry a few time

This is a wonderful little USB Flash Drive

Another fear of mine had Trojan had hard drives crash had lost everything I have tons of photos on flash drives.

Great little drive

I love this flash drive.

This is not an ideal drive to carry around on a keychain due to the lack of a more secure cover and the itsy bitsy loop on its top that might allow fishing line through but not much else

Good drive, but excellent price

An awesome flash drive

On that note, to anyone with a brain, don't plug a 2.0 drive into a USB 3.0 port, it WILL kill your drive

I love this thumb drive and I use it all the time.

In the metal piece, there is also a hole at the top so that you can attach a string to it, some people like to hang their flash drives around their necks (so they are always sure where it is).This drive is very reliable, the Reading speed is 10MB/sec, while the Writing speed is 5MB/sec

Its a good USB drive,I dont care fo the design too

What can I say Kingston makes a great flash drive and sells it at a great price!

I recommend this to everything looking for a good flash drive for cheap

I bought this years ago and it's still my go-to file storage device, despite having several alternatives (SD, Micro-SD, a flask-sized portable hard drive, etc.

If I am going to take the time to convert dozens of CDs to flash drives, they had better be dependable flash drives.

I would definitely recommend these flash drives for back up or transferring data.

If you need a fast and solid flash drive, try PNY, or perhaps Patriot,after all, these guys make gaming RAM.

This is a handy flash drive with a good protection on the drive tip, although the speed might be a bit slow

What can be said about a flash drive?It was a good price and it held all my pictures moved from my hard drive.

Top cover is attached to drive so no chance of loosingConsNot as fast as internal hard drives which is kind of expected due to technology limitation

Works as a flash drive.

good flash drive

Excellent flash drive in terms of durability and delivers expected decent speeds

Great little flash drive; works very efficiently; compact; easy to carry, especially with built in cover

HOWEVER, the drives that I have already have worked flawlessly, and the swivel cover keeps the drive itself clean and protected.

reliable flash drive

Good Drive for a good price.

I didn't use all the preloaded stuff-just transferred files while hard drive was being replaced.

This is a great flash drive.

It works as promised and is a solid Flash Drive

I think Kingston Digital makes the best flash drives (in terms of size and affordability), but that is just my opinion

Yesterday I installed an external Western Digital 1.5T harddrive and immediately after I turned on my PC, an error message "disk I/O error, replace drive and hit any key to continue" appeared

All in all, it's a fine USB flash drive and if I need another one, I'll be buying one of these.

It's a good drive though, and I recommend it.

The cons of this product are that it has this urDrive.exe program which doesn't work, but I would still recommend it... just because you can remove everything off the drive and have fresh drive to have when you need it

Overall though, not a bad drive

I have thousands of photos and large Photoshop files stored on it - like having a mini hard-drive at hand!

I've had this for years and have accidentally washed it several times, dropped it often, and otherwise tortured the drive

Work great as boot drives for computer imaging.

Any who, this guy worked well enough though is relatively clunky, while other products have gotten smaller, and the attachment mechanism can become loose allowing the drive to get lost

So this drive is fast and reliable

For an inexpensive flash drive, this little thing worked great for my granddaughter's homework.

This is a great flash drive.

Great usb drive and good capacity

There are faster drives out there, but for me reliability is the most important

What can I really say other than that this little drive is exactly what I want and need from a portable flash drive

Good drive and well priced!

I'd definitely recommend kingston drives.

Because I regularly backed up the drive to an external hard drive at home, and synced the most used files to another location at work using a free Microsoft utility called Sync Toy 2.1, I lost no critical data and have decided that I will not pursue recovering data from the device.

I started to wonder if I got a fake drive!

After losing my last 8GB flash drive I need the thing to attach to my key ring and have the cover close completely

More than enough room for my portable use, sans the portable hard drive

Great little thumb drive for the $!

The Kingston Digital 16GB Datatraveler Flash Drive is a small, fast, inexpensive, reliable, flash drive that serves its intended purpose

Viewing flash memory drives as (un)reliable as old school spinning drives is the best policy.

perfect usb drive for travel.. keep it in your pocket and use it wherever you go

Other than that, it's a good value 8GB usb drive

With 32 GB, it doesn't have the capacity of an external hard drive, but it holds plenty of movie files for its size.

I would recommended this product to anyone that happens to run into problems with their computer and tend to lose things which are caused by your hard drive in your computer or any other related computer problems

this is not an expensive USB drive, but just be warned that, for the 8GB version, the write speed is really just 5MB / second.

Great flash drive

It's a very nice drive for $10.

Great flash drive!

Guaranteed other drives would have become corrupted beyond repair (*cough SanDisk*)

Overall it's a good flash drive, would buy again.

I don't often use portable USB drives (in fact, I don't even have one...).

I got this so that I could install a ton of my music files on it from record albums that I had loaded onto my hard drive so that I could use it to listen to my music in my car.

Great little flash drive for the money

The bottom line is that I'm very pleased with the drive overall - my minor gripe with the swiveling cover notwithstanding.

Would definitely recommend to anyone looking for an inexpensive flash drive with fair amount of storage space.

A great flash drive

Inexpensive but entirely functional flash drive

and not too much slower that going diectly to my hard drive.

It worked as i expected and was a very sturdy flash drive.

Naturaly, we now highly recommend the Kingston drives

As some of the other folks have said this drive is very fast when using bigger files.

Now: I REFUSE UTTERLY to put Linux on an internal hard drive, cuz there are too many ways it easily goes wrong.

This is an excellent flash drive

Great flash drive that does what it's supposed to do

So yes, the capacity of the USB flash drive (and most other hard drives) is a bit less than the 16GB advertised capacity, but that is pretty standard if you have ever purchased a storage device recently

I must say that this is one of the nicest AND cheapest flash drives that I have purchased that can hold 7.99 GB of data (according to my computer).What i really

This drive has worked great thus far

Great USB drive

The size to price ratio was exactly what I was looking for and it was amongst the top-rated flash drives at the time as well

This is a well-designed, sturdy little flash drive.

Kingston makes good USB drives.

Excellent thumb drive.

First of all, this is a great flash drive for computers

Great little flash drive looks cool

Perfectly capable flash drive

Really good flash drive.

I think I will like the Kingston Flash Drive once I learn how to use it.

This a a great Flash Drive for PC users (I use it on my Mac, so I lose out)

I love watching how cheap these drives are becoming

Usually, 10% of space is deducted of what is advertised is standard for hard drives

More than enough room for my portable use, sans the portable hard drive

Nice to watch a movie or two when away from home and not have to keep that hard drive spinning on the laptop.

I would highly recommend these drives.

Great flash drive that fits in the back of my black four gig xbox 360 as a storage device

But if you don't read the fine print you won't realize that you can't password protect the drive

I also have the Kingston 8 GB flash drive and love it and haven't experienced any similar issues

Handy little portable drive.

The drive is sturdy, has lots of storage (16 GB), and seemingly decent read and write speed.

We have had problems in the past with corrupted drives.

Needed a good flash drive to backup laptop.

It has proven to most the most reliable flash drive I have ever owned

i've plugged this flash drive into various computers running Windows 7 and Windows 8.1, and so far no problems reading the drive.

The drive works perfectly fine, it is fast and I was able to store a huge music library and data files

They seem to prefer the Kingston drives over most others.

I was looking for a cheap portable memory drive and this fits the mold.

I would recommend this sound built drive for dependability.

I have thousands of photos and large Photoshop files stored on it - like having a mini hard-drive at hand!

Cheap flash drives are

It is a good drive, in that it's an excellent price and performs well

This is the best flash drive I have ever bought

I thought my new hard drive was bad

For the price this is a really good drive.

I Love this USB flash drive

Great USB drive for lots of NEEDED storage

Once that bomb goes off and the drive is somehow corrupted then you lose access to your data as the computer is unable to either detect it as a drive or just tells you that it is unformatted

Solid drives, lasted me over four years.

I bought it with the thought that I could transport movies and tv shows more easily on a flash drive than on a large, external hard drive.

Love this thumb drive and for the money, well worth it.

I originally purchased one of these Kingston 32 GB Flash Drives after having nearly lost all of my digital pictures when my computer hard drive crashed.

It is a nice flash drive.

Those numbers did not exist on this drive and the Kingston representative suspects this is a counterfeit or knock off product and NOT a legitimate Kingston drive.

GREAT DRIVE

Years later Jan 2013 and it is still my best and fastest usb 2.0 drive

Very good USB drive at a very affordable price

If you need a reliable flash drive for day in and day out use this is a good choice.

Not recommend this flash drive for important data - big probability of loosing.

Top cover is attached to drive so no chance of loosingConsNot as fast as internal hard drives which is kind of expected due to technology limitation

Best flash drive in the market for the price

I've had this drive for almost three years now and it has worked flawlessly.

I use this flash drive for my xbox360 slim to store stuff on like game saves and what not till i can buy a hard drive for the xbox im using this for extra memory.

This is an awesome sized jump drive.

I bought this years ago and it's still my go-to file storage device, despite having several alternatives (SD, Micro-SD, a flask-sized portable hard drive, etc.

I love this flash drive.

It's a nice flash drive that works great

Kingston is a very good flash drive and this version (DT101) has a very good speed transmiting information from/to the pc

I've been looking for a cheaper USB drive to image an OS installation onto, and this served my purpose well!

I have had this drive for several months and it still works with no issues

This is a good inexpensive USB drive that came in a multi-pack

Other than that, memory is memory and this is one of the most reasonably priced drives that you can buy.

Highly recommend this flash drive

This is a nice little USB drive that does the job!

I use it to store ISO files and other random things that I don't want on my hard drive

Great price for a good size flash drive!

However, if I lose the drive it means that anyone will have access to my documents and applications, so less than ideal in the long run

The labeling is hidden when the cover is open, so if you don't close it, you could put it in upside down and damage the drive or the port.

Overall I think this is a good data drive for the size and price

This is probably the best flash drive for the price

In the metal piece, there is also a hole at the top so that you can attach a string to it, some people like to hang their flash drives around their necks (so they are always sure where it is).This drive is very reliable, the Reading speed is 10MB/sec, while the Writing speed is 5MB/sec

There is no LED in the 16 GB Datatraveler flash drive DT101G2/16GBZ???Of all the flash drives I own this is the only drive I have without a LED.

Great flash drive and looks good too

The pix I had wafted onto my hard drive from my camera went right onto this Kingston (without formatting or hassle) by highlight, dragndrop

I would recommend this flash drive to anyone who needs one.

Good flash drive, durable, nice price for the size, and has a nice case

There's a green light below the center logo that comes on when the drive is working

I read some of the previous reviews that complained that the drive was slow, I have had no problems with the speed.

I really liked this USB stick l used it to boot windows 7 to my new hard drive and everything worked fine and pretty fast

Overall a solid drive and 32 gigs is plenty to daily use.

I didn't have any USB drives large enough to do this (min 4GB) and this 16GB stick was just as cheap as those smaller drives.

Love these flash drives.

I'm waiting for the next gen of USB-3.These are fine thumb drives and I can't see you going wrong, especially for the price.

Great thumb drive and compact with the rotating head to store the USB tip inside.

So i needed a decent flash drive that had around 16gb and transferred pretty fast

This drive is used fairly heavily, and still works

:)if your looking for a great flash drive i personally give this a 9/10 only because nothings perfect

I wanted to get some old pictures off of my hard drive and these little USB drives were perfect

This drive is so handy

This is an excellent USB drive for the price.

I like this drive because of the flip cover.

I like this small external hard drive [

Plus its not like the fake usb drives that are out there.

Unbeknownst to most Linux users, you can just do a traditional install to a STICK or EXTERNAL HARD DRIVE rather than to the internal drive.

Small size and high access speed make this an ideal back up drive

I purchased two of these to use to transfer from the hard drives (of 2 PCs) the recovery partitions to free up hard drive space.

Anyways i'm really pleased, this is the best flash drive for the price

This is a great flash drive

The drive has been working just fine, but the plastic casing has broken

I recommend purchasing the Kingston Digital 32GB USB 2.0 Hi-speed Datatraveler Flash Drive for recovery drive back-ups and other storage needs.

The Kingston is a fine drive with good speed (The Amazon Tech Specs say it is a 5MB/s

My hard drive stooped working moths

This drive is useless to me, I will not plug it into my system ever, waste of my money!

Without an easy attachment point, the tiny drive will be east to lose or forget someplace.

It's not lightning fast, but comparable to an internal hard drive of the 5400 rpm flavor (older but cooler and more stable, better for large files).Hope the above helps.

First off, allow me to say that I love travel drives

All told, the drive was ready for use in seconds

This is a very good utilitarian USB drive with the added benefits of great pricing, of classy looks, and no cap to lose

I prefer thumb drives that do not have too much embedded software and that do not have a cap that can be lost.

If you don't want to shell out the money for a physical Xbox 360 hard drive this is an excellent cost-effective alternative

Unfortunately, this is not the most reliable flash drive.

Worked out of the box as all other Kingston USB flash drives

I love the Kingston flash drives

Great USB drive for a fair price and have not encounter any problem.

, so I moved it off to a hard drive folder

This is by far, the slowest USB drive I have ever seen

This drive is the slowest I have seen.

(Yes, I do back up to a portable hard drive frequently, Virginia.)

Otherwise, it's a good drive.

When I started building computers in 1992, the hard drives weren't even close to this size and now all these years later, you can carry a mini hard drive in your

I would recommend this flat drive to buyer.

If you want a sturdy flash drive get an IronKey

I highly recommend this Flash Drive.

Love these Kingston thumb drives; they seem to be reliable

If your just looking for any flash drive that will work and last, then I do recommend this flash drive

My only gripe would have to be the transfer speeds, though the USB thumb drive itself is not necessarily at fault

(Jasper chipset) with a 120gb hard drive.

(Yes, I do back up to a portable hard drive frequently, Virginia.)

Just what I wanted, a fast, reliable, no hassle flash drive

There may be similar items, don't know, but this drive has worked really well.

As someone who started on digital computers in the Air Force, on a machine as big as a small house, programmed by IBM punch cards, with toroid core memory and a large spinning drum for the hard drive, I'm constantly and pleasantly amazed by the progress of how small and fast things have gotten.

I think that I love this flash drive

But this drive got crashed 2 times and one and half

I am not really interesting in the really fast USB drives (they are costly), but I want dependability.

You really can't get a better deal than this considering your local RadioShack sells less reliable drives 8GB for $24 and 16GB for $35 (as I was told on the phone).

Otherwise it is a great flash drive, Kingston makes a great product.

I bought my console back in the beginning when the hard drive was almost an afterthought.

This is a great flash drive, exactly what I wanted and needed

If you want a reliable product from a reputable manufacturer, you'll like this flash drive

The drive has been working just fine, but the plastic casing has broken

Now with all of the DLC like Rock Band songs, map packs, and additional levels and scenarios for most games, my hard drive has filled up a couple of

great speedy little drive.

Excellent thumb drive.

It works just as a flash drive should

Great Flash Drive, Great Price, design works very well with computers whose usb ports are in bad locations.

Nice, hi cap thumb drive.

There are enough utilitarian black flash drives out there

nice little drive!

I like this small external hard drive [

It's a good usb drive for gaming, i use it for my xbox

I selected the 32 gigabyte size to easily accomodate the many sizable files on the old hard drive

I bought this drive for school and have forgotten on many occasions it was in my pocket and this product is completely waterproof and i highly reccomend it to anyone who has a need for a durable drive.

However, it's best you do this installation on a machine which either has no internal hard drive, or no OS on that drive.

Fantastic low-priced drive -- have ordered a number of these, and find them very reliable and easy to transport

After cleaning the dirt off I tried the drive and it worked perfectly!!

Compared to other 8GB hard drives with the same format and partition layout, its around

After cleaning the dirt off I tried the drive and it worked perfectly!!

This is one tough little thumb drive!

Great flash drive
