Have used variety of flashdrives over the years. This one looked promising for durability, but the plastic insert fell out. Had it on my keychain and went to use it and the cavity was empty.

insert fell out

Maybe I got a rear duff one, maybe I didn't

It would be very good if it hadn't have stopped working

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.

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.

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

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

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.

small; cheap

Slow; like USB 1 slow

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...

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.

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.

difficult to use

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.

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

The Kingston DataTraveler does not include pre-installed security software and does not have an indicator light

The still-new Kingston DataTraveler HyperX ($131 list), announced at CES in January, builds on memory-maker Kingston's HyperX brand for high-speed memory. It doesn't disappoint. It had the fastest read time among these USB flash drives. If only it didn't cost so much!

Easily retractable USB plug; fast

High price even through Amazon exclusive

I picked up one of these cause I know Kingston is a top brand. However was kind of disappointed in the build quality, the plastics were cheap, loose and just not pleasant to use. Having said that I don't buy my USB sticks for their aesthetics so was pleased with its performance (read/write) and its...
