Cons: Sturdiness could be an issue
Pros: Small size, big size Comment:
I was looking for a small usb key I could put on my key chain to always have a usb key handy. I bought it because of it small size (physical) and it does the job. I haven't check the performance since I don't care about that and it doesn't look like it's the most sturdy usb key but since it's so small there's less surface to get caught size I put my computers on the floor and I tended to put my feet on them and because of that I tented to kick my usb key. 16gb it is big enough to carry alot of photos, docs or small videos or any unplanned stuff. |

Cons: Dislike the way you open it
Pros: Very smallGood speeds Comment:
I should have probably done my own research, but I didn't know they made usb sticks like this. The USB contact piece flips out of the grey cover and clips back in. I am not really a fan of this style as it (for me, maybe I'm a tard) requires 2 hands to flip out the USB. Overall, works pretty well though. Decent speeds, haven't had any issues, and I am happy. |

Cons: Slow, hard to fold out, not compatible with Alpine CDE-126BT HU
Pros: cheap, small, 16GB, good brand Comment:
Although painfully slow, its a pretty decent USB drive. Not the easiest to fold out, you defiantly need 2 hands, and 1 finger nail. But it is cheap and small, which is nice. Didn't get recognized by my alipne CDE-126BT head unit, so it's probably gonna go to my bro or sis. |

Cons: Feels like it would be easy to beak. Need two hands and long finger nails to open.
Pros: Small size, Price, Kingston reputation Comment:
Need two hands and long fingernails to open. Not the fastest USB drive, comparable to other mid range flash drives. Used H2testw to check the drive for any errors and to determine speeds. The results: Writing speed: 4.16 MByte/s Reading speed: 15.2 MByte/s. |

Cons: Plastic casing feels cheap
Pros: CompactCan be attached to keychain Comment:
Very compact, fits into my key chain perfectly.Haven't done any actual bench marking tests, but haven't noticed much performance difference between my other flash drives, so I guess it's on par with general thumb drives.However the outer casing feels little weak and I'm wondering if it would crack or break eventually. |

Pros: capacitypricesize Comment:
I got this flash drive since my old 8gb didn't have enough capacity for what I wanted anymore. This one was a very good price, and fits perfectly onto my keychain to boot. It is about half the size of my old flash drive. |

Cons: Fragile
Pros: Fast and cheap Comment:
The key is very nice and fast, but the plastic part that act as the usb connector is fairly cheap and is on the verge of breaking. I use my usb key daily in multiple pc's so I may be a little to rough with it, but for the price I can't complain. |

Pros: Small, durable, cheap Comment:
Not quite sure what happened to it, but after 3 weeks of use, it just stopped working. Computer did not recognize the device anymore. Had to RMA the unit, but Kingston support was really helpful and provided free shipping through their Fedex account. |

Cons: Becomes hot, not easy to "flip-open"
Pros: Small, very good capacity, kingston warranty, price is cheap Comment:
Don't expect stellar performance from this drive, but it is able to sustain a 15-20MB/s writing speed, which is not bad at all.I've bought also it's 8GB counterpart. Both perform the same. |

Cons: slow on write, no indicating lamp
Pros: cool design with good price, small , capless Comment:
it's very good price f 9.99, but disappointed with sustained write speed only around 6mb/s, however, the read speed is OK about 15-10mb/s, sometime more than 20mb/s. Recommended if you don't require high write speed. |

Great little device. Very cheap when on sale.Only issue I have is that a small lanyard was not included so I borrowed one from another flash drive I own. Great deal for the size and space. Decent quality metal cover flips open to reveal the USB connector. |

Pros: compact, metal cover, pc and mac compatible Comment:
Got this on sale for $16.99 The metal cover is durable and has a loop on it to fit on my keychain. Decent transfer speed. 16 gb of storage and the reliability of Kingston, all in a very small package. It's a win, win situation. |

Cons: Easy to lose
Pros: Small and strong Comment:
Very small and tight design all wrapped up in a strong metal cover. Excellent design, looks like it will last for a long time.Oh and a very good idea making the loop point out of the metal, feels very tough and I am not worried about it breaking.Make sure to get a decent loop or keyring for it though, it's so small that you will lose it for sure if it isn't attached to something. I put a small keyring on it and keep it with my keys. |
It does the job as described. No issues with it.
