Kingston Technology DataTraveler

Kingston Technology DataTraveler Kingston's DataTraveler, one of the larger drives we looked at, measures 1 inch wide, 0.5 inches thick, and 3.87 inches long (with the cap on); without the cap, it's small enough that it won't block adjacent USB ports when you plug it into a PC.
Pros:
  • Attractive design
  • relatively inexpensive per megabyte
  • can password-protect data
Cons:
  • Fairly large

The Kingston DataTraveler Generation 3 (G3) has several practical features going for it. The loop is sturdy and can be attached to a key ring, it works with Linux-based systems and it has a cap that fully encloses the USB connector.
Pros:
  • This USB flash drive's loop is sturdy, so you can attach it to a key ring
  • the drive can be co-branded with your logo
Cons:
  • The Kingston DataTraveler does not include pre-installed security software and does not have an indicator light

it's too stiff

My other Kingston drives have a connector cover that swivels out of the way. I've been reluctant to put them in my pocket, for fear that the cover would catch on my keys or something. This drive doesn't have that problem; you push the 2 ends of the housing together to expose the connector.
Cons:
  • difficult to use

Kingston DataTraveler Secure 8GB review

Kingston's DataTraveler Secure looks and feels like a tough flash drive. It's even waterproof and the cap attaches to the rear of the drive when not needed. Unlike the other flash drives here, the DataTraveler Secure has hardware 256-bit encryption.

Kingston DataTraveler 300

The DataTraveler 300 is – for now – the world's most capacious USB flash drive. At 256GB it's not quite as generous as the name suggests (especially as only 238GB of that is usable), but it's still bigger than many hard disks and should certainly cover your file-transportation needs for the...

Stopped working after not much use.

Maybe I got a rear duff one, maybe I didn't
Pros:
  • It would be very good if it hadn't have stopped working
Cons:
  • Got it from 'TechNextDay' to plug into my stereo so it could play mp3 files of it
  • I filled it up quite a bit
  • Was working fine doing this
  • Then I decided to put an an extra album on there
  • This sort of worked fine
  • The tracks were mixed up in there order for some strange reason.

Worked on car stereo out of the box

I was expecting to have to format this like the last one I bought (different brand) but when I checked it was FAT32 so I quickly dumped a couple of folders with MP3's on it, ran out to the car to test it and it worked, no formatting.
Pros:
  • Small, doesn't stick out of my car stereo like normal ones do
  • Already formatted in FAT32, worked in the car stereo right out of the box, no formatting needed
Cons:
  • Why do I have to put something here? Okay, one con, I think it's stupid that the web designer forces people to write a con before you can click "submit", but doesn't require a title
  • Sometimes there are no cons

Sloooooooooow

I didn't even know they still made devices this slow. I'd say to get really anything else. We just got it as a cheap storage thing for my mum but it takes so long to take any data transfer that even she doesn't have the patience for it. Seriously opening a saved text doc is painful.
Pros:
  • small
  • cheap
Cons:
  • Slow
  • like USB 1 slow

Kingston DataTraveler HyperX 8GB USB Flash Drive
