What a great gadget! It is so tiny, about 2/3 a stick of gum long. But what a worker. I use 4 Macs - 2 run OS9 and 2 run OSX and it worked great on all of them. I just took it out of the little package, plugged it in to my USB port, booted the computer and there it was on my desktop as "Kingston." Drag your file to it and as the little drive transfers it, a little green light on the side of the drive will blink until everything is downloaded. Just unplug it from the USB and plug it in where you want it and bada-boom, bada-bing. I keep losing the cap, which secures very tightly to the body of the drive and pulls off.
The important thing about this, compatability issues aside, is the fact that this thing is FAST! It transfers substantial files very quickly! Love it.

Okay, not a computer expert, but I am an "expert" end user. I say this is a cool little gadget! I liked the plug-and-play aspect, the small size, and, in particular, the sturdy little package. I think it can hold up to my toting it around in a shirt pocket or a purse, as the case is sturdy plastic and there is a cap that appears to be solidly attached. I put all the files I need to transfer (hundreds) on this little USB drive and it transferred quickly, especially considering I have USB 1, not 2. I also liked that all those files took up a tiny fraction of the drive's storage.

Overall, a good investment. In the local WalMart I saw 512Mb drives for $26-something. The price is right.

I got 2 of these recently and I love them. They works well and quickly.

The things that set them apart from the other flash drives I looked at are: I trust the Kingston name and it has a 5 year warrenty. I don't know why the other person suggested to get the extra warrenty when his broke after 6 months.

Pros:
0. It works, and it works quickly!
1. Good price even without a rebate
2. 5 year warrenty
3. Hole for Lanyard/keychain is on the drive and not the cap (I hate the thought of looking down at my keys and seeing a cap only! Why do some other companies put the hole on the cap only???)
4. Plastic, but doesn't feel as cheap as the PNY one I already own.
5. Cap fits snug and secure

Cons:
1. You call that inch and a half long thing a lanyard?
2. I do like it when there's a hole on the cap and the drive so that you don't loose either. The cap is nice and snug so I'm not worried about it falling out, I just don't want to search for it when I'm done using the drive!

As you can see, I had to stretch for complaints.
