Pros: Lots of storage in a very small form factor. Capless. Cheap when i brought it on sales for < $20.00 |

Cons: cheap build qualityfeels a little flimsynot too speedy
Pros: cheap when on saleretractable usb pluglarge capacity Comment:
Its a pretty good value for the sale price. Good for storing large projects / short term backups on a budget but transfer speeds are not spectacular. If you need the capacity on a budget then this does its job. The retractable plug is a nice touch, but I really don't care for the looks and feel. It also feels like dollar-store plastic - certainly not the caliber of OCZ sticks. |

Cons: - none (...well maybe it isnt on sale enough!)
Pros: - Great capacity for the price- no cap to lose- pretty sleek design Comment:
Great USB - 16GB is quite a bit more than my first USB which was a huge 256MB and cost double this! Very happy with it. |

Cons: Easy to LoseDon't like the slider
Pros: Large CapacityGood Quality Comment:
Got it at $23 so the price was unbeatable for the capacity. The locking slider takes some effort to use but overall it functions great.Unfortunately I forgot it in a computer lab on a computer and it was never seen from again. |

Cons: slow speeds
Pros: Great price for 16GB of storage Comment:
Couldn't format to NTSF for some reason. Had to leave it in FAT. This meant that I couldn't transfer large files which I bought this high capacity usb stick in the first place. |

Cons: -kinda big compare to other usb sticks-not very fast
Pros: -16GB-Price Comment:
For the price I paid for a 16GB, this is unbeatable. I just wish it was smaller, but at least it's black. |

Cons: none
Pros: decent price Comment:
I bought one for my mom. It was perfect for transfering all of her files from her broken laptop onto her new Mac, and she's happy that she can keep everything backed up on it in case she loses her data. |

Cons: None so far
Pros: Cheap/capacity Comment:
I love kingston memory stick for being very reliable and cheaper than most of other companies offering this. For $22, it's the cheapest 16GB memory stick you can buy |

Cons: none yet
Pros: High capacity, good value Comment:
Got a great deal on this at $22, and have been very happy with it. Retractable USB port was a nice suprise, seems to be quite solid and shouldn't be a problem. |

Cons: not up to the performancefeel/look cheap
Pros: caplesscheaplarge capacity Comment:
The weakness should be known to all who is looking at this since this is the cheapest 16gb flash drive when I bought it for $23. Good news is that after 1 month, it's still not dead yet!! |

Cons: Keychain loop hard to accessRetractable USB plug feels a bit fragileSlow transfer speed
Pros: Affordable for 16GBBetter matte black finish compared to previous DT model Comment:
The main selling point for this flash drive is the excellent price vs. capacity ratio. While the retractable USB plug may become a problem in the long run, it is useful for backup of large files. |

Cons: Durability
Pros: Price, LED, Capless Comment:
I bought this for the excellent capacity vs. price ratio, knowing this to be a budget drive. However, I was pleasantly surprised by the speed of this: 20MB/s read, 13MB/s write. Even though the product description states it's not Readyboost capable, plugging into Vista listed Readyboost as an option. The green LED is also cleverly located inside the Kingston logo and is unobtrusively bright.Only improvement that can be made is to the chassis itself. The thin brittle plastic feels cheap and ready to crack open at the slightest impact, but this is to be expected from such a budget product. |

Cons: Hard to slide out USB plugKeychain/lanyard loop is hard to use.
Pros: Large CapacitySlide USB plug, no cap Comment:
An excellent flash drive except for the fact that the slider is a little hard to use. Beware if you plan to use this on a keychain, attaching a small metal loop is near impossible. |

Cons: No metal ring on the back to attach to your keychain
Pros: Black, retractable USB port Comment:
If they only added a small metal circle in the back this would be a 5 star. They have the mounting on it and they got rid of the plastic handle which they used on the 8gb model which broke within days, but they still didn't go all the way.Performance wise though, great product. |

Cons: Cheap looking design compared to other drives.
Pros: No cap design, 16GB! Comment:
I've owned kingston drives for a while now, and they do their job very well. I liked that with this model they got rid of the cap, and had the usb connector retract. I kept on losing my caps almost the moment i took them off.All in all, fine drive. Not much can be said. |
It's a really good drive. The "cap-less" design is nice especially for those who have a habit of losing caps. This is an amazing flash drive for the price. Used it on a daily basis for music, movies, and other data. Now only if they came with a hub cap so I could tie it onto the end to keep from losing the drive!
