I had this less then a week before the key ring snapped off and I nearly lost it. I had to get it from the lost and found at my college campus security office. I would not buy this again, unless you have no desire to attach it using the loop on the end of it to anything.

I have tried to install urDrive from Kingston but it crashed in my Windows 7.

Moderate speed on USB 2.0 Haven't tried USB 3 yet

Larger than I thought; It could make problems when used in laptop; Metal ends slides to expose the ugly white plastic connector

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
