It's a decent price for a 16GB USB drive and it has a nice swiveling metal cover. Now for the bad. Although it does what it is supposed to do, I, like many others who have purchased this particular USB flash drive, found that when compared to other USB 2.0 entry level flash drives, it is...

So starting another year of university and I felt I needed a new memory stick to be able to quickly store, organise and have another memory to store anything I would need for my course. I was looking around my local computer store and came across this.

While not the fastest USB 3.0 drive, Kingston DT Ultimate 3.0 is very tempting with killer warranty and enough speed to satisfy most customers' needs. If you don't mind giving up some read speed for longevity, then it may just be right up your alley.

Stylish good looks in a retro chic kinda way; Decent read performance with good write performance; LED indicator is not annoyingly bright; Great 5 year warranty; No software needed to get the most from it; Uses default MS drivers; Y adapter included for increased compatibility with USB 2.0 systems

Pricey for the speed it offers; May block USB ports to either side of it; Requires USB 3.0 to get the most from it; Will more than likely NEED the Y adapter for hassle-free USB 2.0 connectivity

But my big complaint is that they seemed to have changed the interior design a bit. The drives I just got no longer have an LED to indicate activity. I needed this and assumed that since the first box had this, the rest would too. I was mistaken. I am NOT happy about this.

Works well for the price

I have bought two boxes of these (25 in each) separated by a couple of months; The first drive I tried died in a few minutes.

-Kingston-four GB -Keyring attachment is stuck to the USB device. If you want this on your keys, your keys are going on your laptop-Color is, eh, at very best It's a freakin' flash drive. Obtain this or anything with more space, see if any 1 cares.

La clé n'a fonctionné qu'environ une semaine, j'ai perdu toutes les données conservées dessus. Impossible de la reformater à nouveau après deux défaillance elle est devenu inutilisable.

It was selected as part of "7 Hi-Speed and Professional Flash Drives for 2010" by HardwareInsight.com, and a detailed unboxing and review video by video blogger Linus Tech Tips does a competent job of walking through the DT 101 G2 drive's features.

Great value for price; Swivel cap impossible to lose; Optional urDrive Software loads browser; apps on board; Multiple colors available

Slow; Design is old; Not a bootable drive (even with urDrive

Really good for backing up my things, or even plug it with music in the car!

($1.62/GB). Excluding rebates, that's tied with an expired mention from last week as the best deal we've seen for any full-size 8GB DataTraveler flash drive this year. (It's also a current price low by $4.) It supports read and write speeds of up to 10MB/s and 5MB/s, respectively.

Performance: The test system used in this review was an HP dc7900. The computer came equipped with an Intel Core 2 Duo E8400 3.0GHz CPU, 2GB of DDR2 800MHz memory, Seagate Barracuda 7200.10 ST3250310AS 250GB SATA hard drive, NVIDIA Quadro FX570 256MB PCIe graphics card and Intel 82567LM-3 gigabit...

May block adjacent USB ports; Pricey
