($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.

Great product at a great price! Could not be happier with this purchase! I remember just a couple of years ago, a 4GB memory stick would cost almost [$] Now you can get them for under [$]! It's amazing!

Durable; Great Brand Kingston; Great price; Large Capacity; Small

I needed a USB Flash drive to get pictures from my son of my granddaughters baptism, and looked in the stores. I did find many 4GB, but they were much more expensive. I found this one, and it was perfect! I got all the pictures and can now share them with friends and family.

I recommend this flash drive. R/w speed doesnt bother me. Im a fan of the design too so if aesthetics is important to you than I think this is a good choice.

Nice design; Looks better than in pictures; Great price, couldnt find a cheaper one of comparable quality; Urdrive makes the usage of the flash drive a little more user friendly perhaps and it looks nice, though you can transfer files normally without using urdrive.

Read and write speed is a little slow

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

It's great for traveling, or anywhere. I use it sometimes when I go on a trip & take lots of pictures, I save them & send them to my family. I backup files while on a business trip so I can have them separately from my personal laptop computer. It's quick & easy. I just love it.
