1.0 out of 5 stars Beware counterfeits, June 15, 2009

Mine didn't work properly, right out of the box. After copying several hundred files to it, the previously copied files started getting overwritten by the new ones. I contacted the seller (Cornerstone Mktg) was issued a refund, but two of the six comments on his site also had problems and were issued refunds. Kingston tech support says they have been seeing a lot of counterfeits, and indeed mine has no serial number inscribed on the USB connector which is an indication that the unit is counterfeit according to Kingston.

5.0 out of 5 stars Kingston's Success 64GB Thumbdrive, December 6, 2008

I saw it, and pre-ordered it. It got here and formatted at 64GB and works perfectly. I was amazed it wasn't more expensive. I'd bought a 32GB SSD (not thumbdrive) and it had a lot of USB Device malfunction issues. I was worried this Kingston 64GB Thumbdrive would choke the system, only worse -
But it did not. It's working well. I have moved images onto the drive, meaning a write cycle of probably an hour - and the drive did not overheat, corrupt anything or fail.
I am probably buying a second one, then holding on to see if a 128 gb comes out. I'd trust the Kingston but more importantly, I'd trust the seller, Amazon has a great return policy. Fortunately for me, I didn't need it on this.
Good job Kingston!
Thanks Amazon!

5.0 out of 5 stars Large capacity, great size and price, January 3, 2009

8 years ago, I bought a flash drive of the same price and size but has only 1GB on it. Technology sure is really fast because now, 64 times the capacity, same size and price! Greate purchase, I was lucky enough to buy this product a week ago when it was still a bit cheaper than the current posted price of $122. Main reason for buying the product is because my WD passport hdd broke. This one is not 320GB but it's more reliable and portable. I don't mean to compare this with a high capacity HDD though, I was just devastated because all my files were gone :(. Can't wait for them to come up with a higher capacity flash drive soon.

The product is sealed in a blister pack, very simple packaging. Be careful when you open the pack though, don't throw it away because there is also a lace included in the cardboard-type sort of manual where the licensing and stuff are printed. This lace goes through the hole at the bottom of the flash drive (see the picture that I've attached in this product). This is why I wondered why one of the reviewers had to make the hole bigger when there is already a lace included.

Flash drive capacity is as advertised, you get a little over 64MB (nice!)and there is a separate 32KB for the system files (note the word separate). I tried to see how long will it take to write files on this thing so I copied over a movie file worth 173MB and was able to transfer it in 14 seconds, giving us over 12MB per second. Not as fast as a spinning HDD of course but still manageable (I'm not particular with the write speed anyway). As for the read speed, I'm not sure how to measure this so I decided to load a movie instead, didn't encounter any lags or anything for the whole duration of the movie.

Finally, there is no external switch to turn on/off the write protect settings for this item. You might be able to do this using a program that will invoke the setting on board. Personally, I don't use this setting that much since we get a lot of prompts that warn us when the same files will be overwritten and the capacity is huge anyway.

Overall, one of my great buys in amazon. Currently out of stock as I write this review, lucky me :).
