Kingston is one of the big players for Memory. I have been buying their RAM since Pentium1 / AMD K6 days. Their SSD's are rock solid reliable and cheap to buy. Their thumb drives are no different. Usually budget stuff, but the most dependable brand of memory I know of.

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!

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

You Get What You Pay
I'm a huge fan of the look and the cap-less design, but I'm not sure about its reliability over time since it tends to run so warm. It seems reliable so far, but I would recommend avoiding long read/write sessions to prevent the drive from overheating itself.
Pros:
- -Budget Oriented -Extremely Light -Sturdy Cap-less Sliding Design -Has Area for Attaching String or to Key-chain -Stable (Stress tested by filling entire drive with contents
- verifying saved data and repeated 3 times
Cons:
- -No Indicator Light (Showing when the drive is busy and when safe to remove -Gets VERY Warm While In Use (May be a cause for concern regarding longevity of the drive -Slow Write Speeds For Advertised USB 3.0 Interface (Similar to speeds of USB 2.0 Drives
