Cons:
Somewhat cheap construction.
Pros: Good value for general use. Comment:
Great for the sale price. I bought one of these on a whim to throw in my wife's Christmas stocking. She is happy to add it to her stack. It is used only for transferring jpg photos to the printing stand at the Wal-Mart. (I know, I know).4GB is puny nowadays but sometimes it is all you need.It works well for that use and at $5-6.00 on sale it is a steal. The build quality is weak and I suspect it won't hold up to much "abuse".Fortunately it is priced in the disposable range. |

Cons:
Small enough to lose easily
Pros: Small and compact Comment:
This is a really good deal. I always felt that these USB drives should come with a small lanyard so that they can get hooked together. I'm always losing the darned things because they are so small!! |

A bit slow.
Pros: Low price when on sale.No cap to loose. Comment:
I got this USB flash drive during the boxing week sale and so far it is working great with no problems. The only complaint about it is that it could be a bit faster. But for $4.99 it is a good value. |

Cons:
La fabrication est bon marché mais pour le prix payé c'est dur de dire que c'est un point faible.
Pros: Le prix lorsqu'en solde à 4.99$Qualité de fabrication acceptable.Vitesse de transfert acceptable.Pas de capuchon à perdre. Comment:
J'ai acheté cette clef USB pour un enfant qui ne fait pas vraiment attention à ses choses donc il fallait payer pas cher pour pas perdre quelque chose de couteux. La performence de cette clef est acceptable. La vitesse de transfert de fichiers de 50 MB en moyenne est de 10 MB/s en écriture et de 19 MB/s en lecture. En plus pas de capuchons à perdre avec le couvercle rabatable. Même si la fabrication est bon marchée c'est un très bon achat pour le prix payé en solde à 4.99$. |

Cons:
disappointed, tooooo slow comparing with Kingston 16GB (datatraveler 101 G2)
Pros: capless, price value Comment:
Actually I am very disappointed for this driver after speed test. I had Kingston 16GB (datatraveler 101 G2),whose writing speed is very fast, about 16Mbps, which misleads me to assume 4GB drive with same write speed(this is why I purchased it), but it's not, only 5-6Mbps in writing. Don't understand why they have such big difference on speed. both 4GB and 16GB are same series: Datatraveler 101 G2. Overall, not bad at $5, but do recommend 16GB driver. |

Cons:
-not the fastest
Pros: -cheap on sale ($7)-4GB Comment:
The photo actually makes the product look a lot worse aesthetically than it is. The "cap" has a more muli-grey colour that gives it a dark metallic look and the body is still translucent but it a bit darker.Your basic flash drive. The capless design seems pretty solid and it performs like a normal flash drive. No super speeds from this guy but it's good enough for anyone. |

Pros: -Cheap-Works well Comment:
-Great USB key. Have 3 of them and really can't complain for the price i paid for them. They are really budget 4gb USB keys.-It works well but they are not the fastest you will find on the market. They do what they are intended for. Cheap on the go storage! |

For the price of this drive it's a great buy, so great that I bought two of them. No issues so far with the drives, works great for daily use for files and watching movies from my DVD player with usb support. |

Cons:
Capless, possible chance of getting dirt in. Kingston has slow read/write speeds compares to other brands. Even their larger drives are pretty damn slow.
Pros: Good Price when on saleWill not lose capKingston warranty Comment:
First capless USB key. Have a handful of other Kingston keys, they are build very well. I had one in a computer and swiveled the chair and it bent the metal usb plug at 45 degrees, i bent it back and still works. cant complain for the price when on sale. Read/Writes speeds could be a bit better. |

Not a sealed cap.
Pros: Solid Drive - Durable Comment:
The drive is durable, lives through normal wear and tear, I use this one as bootable drive with xp on it, handles the installs no problems. Don't like the cap that lets lint and dirt in end. Constantly blowing it out. |

Pros: black anodized finish, internal LED, nifty software Comment:
When I looked at this for the first time I was actually pretty impressed by the looks. The cover is actually anodized black and the enclosure actually looks pretty nice.The included software is like having a mini OS on the go, pretty nifty stuff.For 8 bucks on sale it's a pretty good deal. |

Cons:
can not lock in when in shelf
Pros: price, capacity Comment:
I bought this usb key as a bootable, cheap and useful device for pc/laptop maintenance for $7.99. I wanted something that I could carry around in my key-chain. This is a suitable item and the only problem is that it does not lock into the protective shelf. I'm afraid it might damage the usb outlet when I drop my key-chain. |
I got this little flash driver for 5 bucks, so it is amazing price, and good quality. of course, it is slow, but for the price, I have nothing to complain.I found its bench mark speed is similar to my sandisk 2G, however, the real speed is much slower than sandisk.All in all, it is a good one for storage, not for USB systme user for sure. still give 4 stars for price and quality.
