Customer Ratings & Reviews

Overall Review: As a Computer Diety I know a variety of different uses for this flashdrive. It could be used for anything from Portable Applications to File System. Pros: Sise-Very Compact Build-Very Sturdy When in USB port, my last one wiggled and broke when I kneeded it. UrDrive Software-Very User Friendly Readily Integrates with portable applications 5 Yr Warranty- Not many offer this Im glad Kingston does though Cons- Swivel does not work due to the fact that I have attached it to a keychain Advertised as 8GB Capacity- Though this doesnt bother me as I have a 1 TB seagate External USB Drive it really is 7.2GB due to a hidden partitition that even the Disk Partition Tool Cannot Recognise

Its a great product , fast and easy to use. I generally used this to backup and store my data files and some files are very large but it works very fast to load files.

Very happy with my purchase. Great value for an 8 GB flash drive.

great flash drives for the price and worked no problem

This item does the job. Stores and saves all my documents and makes them easy to find.

Attractive design and portable. Great value for the capacity.

This flash drive is used for backing up pictures. Works Great

Metal cover feels safer, stronger. Price is unbeatable.

Lots of space. Arrived on time. Love the look. It had an accidental bump, and continued to function.

Works great! Just what i needed to add memory inexpensively.

Great value for the capacity. Shipping was fast? Arrived in 2 days after order

I purchased 2 of this style....a 16GB for shuffling files between PC's at home, and this 8GB to take with me when I'm away from home. Just like the 16GB version, it does what I need and with reasonable read/write speed. It's small so it's easy to carry and the pivoting cover means no cap to take off or misplace. I've owned a number of Kingston USB drives and SD cards over the years and have always been pleased with their performance. I also like the color coding they use on USB drives. I can tell at a glance, what size I have. One minor complaint (and suggestion to BestBuy)..... The delivery could have been a little quicker. The shipment (to Ohio) was fufilled from California which is a 4-5 day delivery. Most of the larger companies have multiple fufillment centers around the country to save transit time.

This device will work perfectly for anyone that needs a USB thumbdrive with a large amount of space but isn't willing to drop alot of cash. With the 8gb iteration going for under $20, what better could there be? The drive easily fits on a key ring (about the length of my house key) and will always get the job done. It seems to be of solid construction and also includes an indicator light for when it is reading/writing data. I use it all the time for many tasks that are much easier with this much space. I would recommend it to anyone and hopefully it continues to last. However, my only concern is the speed at which it moves files. It is an acceptable speed (have not tracked the exact speed) but it is certainly slower than my external usb hard drives. This doesn't break the deal for me but be aware if you are looking for something ultra-quick.

This is very good for its price. It transfers files very quick. I transferred 3gb of music in 4 and a half minutes. Very efficient. If you are just going around looking for flashdrives. Whatever you do do not get a Sandisk. They are the slowest most expensive flashdrives. This is a very good product.

I have an older Mac ... a dual G4/1.25 GHz tower running Leopard, and I use the 1.1 USB ports built into my keyboard for my flash drives - all except this one. This one gives me a message saying that it requires a powered USB port. So, for this flash drive only, I rigged up a cable for connecting it to my old Mac's extra USB port in the back, and that works, but it's a bit of a pain. What fascinated me was when I talked with tech support at Kingston about this, they were clueless ... literally clueless. Blew me away. It's probably an excellent drive, and seems to work fine with USB 2.0 ports. It's just in my case, it's proved to be a bit of a "problem child." As for capacity, I didn't know how to answer that. I haven't taken it to the limit yet, or am I apt to do so anytime in the near future. I have a Dell 10v netbook that I converted to a Mac and use my flash drives with that, too. It has three USB 2.0 ports. Really nice machine ... so far. I have to use a flash drive to install or re-install the OS if and when.

This is a great flash drive. Especially for the price! I bought three of these for school, and they have been awesome. The software that comes preloaded on them is pretty cool, and I use it all the time. I highly recommend this product to anyone looking for an affordable, and functional USB drive. The swivel design is also neat, and I like how if you hold onto the part that turns, it doesn't just swing around itself. It is very durable, has survived many falls because I am a clumsy person, and still performs at high speed and quality.

I use it as a back-up for my laptop. Plenty of capacity, fast, reliable and the price is right.

Product is tough enough to withstand daily wear and tear. Transfer rate is not the best but the capacity is great. Neat design but lacks color choices

Very easy to use , a lot of storage, user friendly

I bought one of these to create a Recovery OS media on my Samsung Chromebook ARM $249. Liked it so much I bought another one for my Series 3 Chromebox. It works because it supports LINUX. Thank you Kingston.
