Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Kingston DataTraveler I - 8 GB USB 2.0 Flash Drive DTI/8GB
Customer Review: Great USB drive
Summary: 5 Stars
Pros: Fast, small(physical size),enough space for 4 years of school work if you don't put unnecessary things in it. Cap clips on the back of the device when you are working with it, a very nice feature for those who do not want to worry about the cap.
Cons: There is a small loop in the back for clipping a string on (if so desired) for ease of carry. However, if you do this the cap no longer clips on the back, thus you have to put the cap in a safe place until you unplug the flash drive from the computer. Myself, I dislike having to worry about caps (My last thumb-drive was retractable) was initially annoyed at this feature.
Overall: I would buy this again.
Customer Review: Can't beat this for the price
Summary: 5 Stars
I've used this 8GB flash drive dozens of times in the very short time I've had it. It's held up perfectly.
On my windows xp system it goes a little slower than some flash drives I've used, but the lack of U3 more than makes up for it.
On my windows vista system it goes like lightning. I can dump a full 8GB on it in just a few minutes. I could have never done that with my old flash drive.
On that note, I had no problems switching back and forth between xp and vista. Simply plug it in and fill it up, then unload it on whatever other system you want.
Considering how cheap it is, I don't think you can find a better deal.
Customer Review: Solid flash drive
Summary: 5 Stars
I have several (err, had as I gave them to my kids for school use) 1GB versions of this stick that have worked and lasted well.
The price on flash drives continue to drop and this 8GB stick is very economical.
It's light, compact and durable.
It has a removable cap that can be snapped onto the other end rather than to leave loose to lose and a clip for a lanyard on the end.
The lanyard clip is plastic and I don't know how well it would hold up as I just pocket this stick,but it appears solid enough for a plastic clip.
I would buy this again as I more or less have. LOL
Customer Review: Good price for quality...
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought this to replace a 4 GB version that I broke, and I'm glad I did.
There's no U3 software to deal with, it's small, and for $20, this is a great deal. I hope they don't stop making these. There are also 1, 2, and 4 GB versions, too.
FYI:
I ordered two of these, and neither came with a lanyard.
The package lists the following systems for compatibility:
Windows Vista (ReadyBoost not supported)
Windows XP (SP1, SP2)
Windows 2000 (SP4)
Mac OS X (10.3.x and above)
Linux (2.6 and aboce)
I used this with WinXP/SP3 without problems.
Customer Review: Awesome deal for so much space with the Kingston DataTraveler 8 GB USB 2.0 Flash Drive DTI/8GB
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought this USB Flash drive because it was the best price I have found anywhere for 8 GB and I needed someplace to keep all the files that I do not access regularly. I plugged it in to my computer and within 5 minutes I had transferred all those files onto it, about 1 GB worth. They vary from photos to music to documents and emails. It took no more than a blip for each one to transfer, even the larger ones. I would highly recommend this product to anyone looking for a way to store their files, or at 8 GB, to back up your entire system. These things sell for $50 and up in retail stores so this is a tremendous deal.
