Comment: We needed a few relatively higher capacity USB drives for minor backups of family stuff, and these fit the bill perfectly. Price was good, they work quite easily, and they are easy to carry. Love the flip cover for the USB -- works like a charm.

Comment: Kingston is noted for its system memory and flash drives, so I would expect a quality product and am not disappointed on that count. (Since I have seen exactly the same style of drive with other branding printed on the swivel "case," I do wonder who is actually responsible for the manufacture of this drive.) As a flash drive, this one lives up to expectations -- but no more. I am not a fan of the design since I find that the cover doesn't really protect the plug end of the drive. It tends to swivel open in one's pocket, exposing the plug to whatever lint or other stuff one might be carrying around. However, I bought this for my Dad who wanted a drive that had a "cap" he couldn't lose and this filled that need. My real disappointment comes from the fact that his main requirement was that the drive work in the USB port on the keyboard of his iMac. Before I ordered this drive, I called Kingston to ask the relevant question and was assured that "as far as I know, all our drives will work in a Mac keyboard slot." I have a different 4GB DataTraveler that does work just fine in said port and had every expectation that this one would as well. Not so -- not enough power in the port. In the end, I gave my Dad my older drive (with a retractable plug) and kept this for myself, since keyboard "plug-ability" wasn't a necessity. Operationally, the drive works to expectations but I can't say that its performance could be distinguished from any other flash drive I have used. Still, it works and came at a decent price.

Comment: Portable, convenient, lots of space. I have tons of pictures and files on the flash and I still have lots of room left. Strongly recommend this product.

Comment: This has the data locker which will encrypt files you want to keep private which is great if you lose it. It's been recognized on all the usb devices I've used it on. And it has no cap to lose! Just flip it around and stick it in your pocket.
