4.0 out of 5 stars Good Budget Drive, November 28, 2007

By	Artemaria (New York City) - See all my reviews

I bought this drive because it was on sale from Circuit City and was very reasonably priced for the storage size (4GB). It is my first thumb drive. It is extremely compact and very very light. The build quality seems decent, but not extraordinary. The thumb slider works well, and it is nice not to have to worry about losing a cap for the USB drive.

One thing to keep in mind is that this is not the fastest drive in the world. It took a good while to transfer 2GB of files onto the drive. While this is not an issue for my purposes, you might want to keep this in mind if you are intending to use the drive to transfer large amounts of data back and forth. For me, I just want a back up of many files and be able to pull them off the drive when I need to and the drive works very well for that.

The price storage ratio really can't be beat - 4GB - which would have cost a king's ransom before, is now rather affordable with this drive.

In operation, the drive was very easy to use. Just plug it in and it works. Drive packaging says Vista compatible, and it comes from Kingston which makes a generally good product.

If you just need a reasonably priced drive to store files and be very light so that you don't notice it, then this is the drive for you.

------------------------------

As an update to this review, I've now used the drive on several different computers and it has worked flawlessly on each. It is also much much faster than it was the first time I used it. This leads me to believe that the problem was with the network from which I was copying files and had nothing to do with this drive. Thus, I would probably increase my review to 4 1/2 stars, with a 5 stars to be given if it had a metal casing. The plastic casings on all of these drives seems a little flimsy. Otherwise, an excellent drive.

5.0 out of 5 stars KINGSTON IS ALWAYS THE BEST! WONDERFUL PRODUCT!, January 30, 2008

By	Daisy S "Daisy S" (Hot Springs, AR) - See all my reviews

Before I bought this, I owned several of the older Kingston Flash Drives with the white top. When I saw this one with the slider bar and no top to worry with, I had to have it. Works great and my data transfers very quickly. The slider is a little stiff, however, the flash drive is still new and hopefully it will loosen up a bit. All in all a well made unit. Highly recommend this one. It beats the SanDisk because there is not USELESS U3 software and this flash drive loads very quickly!

5.0 out of 5 stars Great, February 20, 2008

By	Jason Bierenbaum (Pittsburgh, PA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This is a great flash drive for $25. It's a reasonable size & doesn't need a cover because the port is retractable. It runs fast off a USB 2.0 port. There is no annoying preloaded software like some drives have. It works fine for me with both Vista and XP. I'd recommend this for anyone needing a 4gb flash drive.
