Blazing fast!
- Pros: This drive is faster than any I've seen. It outpaced all the high-performance flash drives I've compared it to. Read speeds approaching 35MB/s.
Lightweight but solidly constructed of what looks like aluminum and rubberized plastic.
The 2GB version is also surprisingly affordable.
- Cons: A little larger than most, but that could be a pro depending on your preference.
- Other Thoughts: Great value for the money, and a pretty good warranty. If you're concerned with speed, this is the one.
Does not work as advertised.
- Pros: Faster than a generic Kingston drive. My second stick, after I RMA'd the first one, has gotten a max 10MB/s write speed, which isn't terrible, but is not as advertised.
- Cons: First stick I received was obviously defective. The Write speeds were terrible (below 3MB/s). The stick would write a little and then freeze up for a period of time and repeatedly do this throughout the transfer. The second stick does this as well, but less frequently and for shorter periods of time. I wonder about the safety of the data that I'm storing on it and do not rely on it to safely maintain the data.
- Other Thoughts: I'm not sure if it's a problem with this hyper x line or what but kingston is usually solid. The price is a little bit low for such a fast (advertised speed anyway) drive, which might explain the poor performance. I'd suggest one of the more expensive models or another brand if you want a speedy drive. I'd like to, but I just can't recommend this stick after my experience with it. You may fair better.

Mac OS X 10.5.x MacPro
- Pros: Using Mac OS X's Disk Utility.app and Activity Monitor.app, I created and verified an average of 19.0 MB per sec. I created a blank 3.5 GB disk image onto the drive and watched the Activity Monitor.app's Disk Activity tab. Creating a disk image allowed me to write to the flash as fast as possible without using a source drive which could have an affect. I also purchased the Corsair Flash Voyagermini because the HyperX won't connect to your keychain. The Corsair would only do about 5.88 MB per sec.
- Cons: -Can't attach to your keychain.
-Wish the activity light would shine through both sides of the stick; different USB connections can sometimes position the stick with the activity light facing away from you.
- Other Thoughts: -Nice case.
-Actual USB connector seems strong (wont break after many uses, like other USB flash sticks).

Kinda big, but that's ok
- Pros: Free shipping! Pretty blue color.
Actually the size is ok for me. Smaller jump drives have a tendency to be laundered at our house.
Five year warranty (I can just see it now - calling for a replacement in 2013, "sorry Sir, we no longer make the 2 GB model, but we can replace it with the current 5TB drive for you_.
- Cons: Even though the USB plug retracts, there is nothing to shield it from pocket lint. We'll see how it holds up.
