Got tired of storing everything on the hard drive and slowing down my computer, so I bought a couple of 8GB flash drives: Kingston DT101 and PNY Attache 3 US. The Kingston has a simple rotating protector that totally covers and protects the USB connector, the PNY does not.

Designed for ease of use; great capacity; great price

Can't think of anything yet

For the value and physical size, great item. Can take of protective cover very easily for lighter weight. More than enough storage for my linux device. Compare anywhere.

Great little size physically but large capacity, best for its value range; Low profile, does not look obtrusive on device

better visible access light

Best method for portable storage. Size small enough to drop and lose without carry box/ key ring.

Key ring attachment small

Smaller than expected. Also a bit slow on transfer speeds but for the price don't expect a blazing fast device. Works great for pictures and video.

I used it to transfer MP3 files from one PC to another after my hard drive crashed. Thank God I backed up my data the night before! I temporarily had a second PC ready to go, and the drive was there to transfer the info. It copied everything over, including my IE Favorites.

I bought these as an easy way to transfer large files (mostly videos) between two people a continent apart. There is no rush, so USPS is fine. Yes, there's drop box, but some of these files are too large for the free version. I looked for this style of thumb drive because of the swivel 'cover'.

Kingston is one of the top name distributors of memory. No surprise then they offer a 5-year warranty. The design for the case is very durable. The metal over cap is impossible to lose. Worth a couple bucks more for the quality.

I have no less than 7 Kingston drives: 2GB 2GB 4GB 4GB 16GB 16GB 32GB They have ALL been reliable and work beautifully. I'd be hard pressed to buy something else. An with Buy.com's price, I think I'm addicted to storage!

They say size doesn't matter but paired with performance it's an absolute winner. Use it daily for watching movies, looking at photos or load you programmes on it & run on your laptop or desktop.
