Cons:
cap doesn't prevent dust and lint from entering usb head, kinda slow
Pros: fast, reliable, cap is built-in, small body Comment:
It's speed is about 7 megs/secs. It's not that fast but it's cheap and reliable. The cap doesn't prevent dust and lint from entering the usb head. But at least you won't lose the built-in cap. |

Regular PriceRead/Write Speed
Pros: Sale PriceCapless DesignSizeSleek Design/Look Comment:
On sale for $20 around early 2011 is a good price for a 16GB USB flash drive.It has average read/write speeds, which can be somewhat painful if you're copying large amounts of data, especially in lots of small files, but oh well.Very small formfactor, and the design is slick, sleek, and very sexy with the black and silver highlights. The swivel cap is also a nice touch to prevent loss of the caps. I don't think it'll last very long with me since I treat my flash drives very badly and thus stick with ugly rubberized ones, but they'll be fine for the people I got them for =). |

This is the best flash drive I've worked with at this price point. Very fast read/write speeds. I actually got one as a replacement from Kingston and I loved it so much that I ordered a second one. Highly recommended. |

Cons:
-dust may build up in the usb port if not used for a long time, since its not competely sealed
Pros: -capless feature-optional software Comment:
I like the capless feature, I find it annoying sometimes to take off the cap for flash drives and then wasting time if I misplaced the cap somewhere. Didn't install software, speed of transfer rates seem pretty standard. So far no problems with the drive. |

Cons:
Nothing really... it's just a USB drive...
Pros: InexpensiveLots of storageDecently quick Comment:
Price matched this down to about $23 to replace an old 2gig drive that wasn't big enough anymore. I deleted the urDrive stuff, so I can't really say much on the usefulness of that, but the drive itself has performed perfectly. Capless designs are the way to go as I'd never be able to keep track of the tiny caps... |

None so far....
Pros: Decent size for the price Comment:
This is a decent flash drive, in several ways, i.e. at 16GB, it can hold a fair bit of data, and on sale it was a good price for the size.I didn't benchmark it, but it feels about the same speed as the other two USB flash drives I have, which, although it's usable, isn't that fast(the packaging states 10MB/sec. read, and 5MB/sec. write speeds).The capless design is one of those things that can go either way, i.e. the semi-open, swivel cover could allow dirt into the business end of this drive, OR, for those folks that constantly lose the caps from their USB flash drives, this design could be quite beneficial. Personally, I prefer a cap on my flash drives, but this unit was priced nicely for its' size, so that I overlooked the swivel cover design. |

Cons:
while its capless which is good, the front cover that goes over seems a little flimsy and may eventually break
Pros: Good price when on sale, very quick. drive itself is durable Comment:
Great little flash drive, accidently put it through the wash, let it dry for a couple of days and it worked perfectly. Hoping to keep this around for another few years |

Pros: -Decent read/write speeds-Good price/capacity ratio-Has a lanyard hole Comment:
Since I don't need any fancy encryption, or excessive size I grabbed this 16GB drive while it was on sale. While I have a tendency to go with Mushkin USB flash drives I was quite surprised with the respectable speeds that this little guy was able to yield.I have mine formatted to HFS+ due to using it with Macs all the time, it also has a nice slim profile that doesn't get in the way of other USB devices plugged into a notebook, which seems to be rare these days with everyone releasing flash drives that could withstand a nuclear holocaust or being in under the sea due to some massive encasing of rubber.Kingston does a good job of keeping it simple and functional. |

None that I can think of.
Pros: Good price when on sale. Good transfer speed. Good warranty. Comment:
The rotating metal piece serves well to protect the USB connector. I like it this way as with this design you can't lose it.The read/write speed is in fact better than what I expected.Would buy it again. This review was modfied by poster @ 12-02-10 06:41 AM |

Cons:
No cap would be a minus in some people's books. I plan on keeping this plugged into my XBOX most of the time though.
Pros: Works with XBOX 360. It is nice and short so it doesn't take up much room when plugged into the XBOX. Comment:
I bought this because I needed to transfer some data from my old XBOX 360 to my new one. The XBOX detected the flash drive fine and was able to format it for use on the system. So far I've transferred my Live profile to the drive and will start moving saved games once I put down Black Ops :) |

Cons:
Cheap feel.I like the cap idea better for keeping dust and debris out.Software kind of a throwaway.
Pros: Big enough for almost anything. Good price on sale. Comment:
Overall, I'm pretty happy with this one. I kind of agree with the other guy that it looks/feels kind of cheap. The software was good, but not really worth keeping in my opinion. For a USB drive transferring files works pretty well. |
