Thank you for selecting Kingston as your upgrade partner.

Pros: Good Price

Cons: none.

Pros: I love this thing!!! It's so small yet holds a ton of data. I wanted to put it on my key chain since it's so tiny but was afraid it would be banged around so I put it on a big clip and strap like when you get the key to use the toilet at a gas station. They attach a tire to it!!!! LOL

Cons: None

Pros: I've never had a USB stick this small, that works this reliably before. It's been on my keychain for 4-5 months now, and never let me down. Haven't tried benchmarking, but it's never been slow enough to complain. Can't beat the price at less than a $ a GB. It's highly functional and small, who cares what it looks like.

Cons: Can be fit in to the USB slot upside down, and expected with this style USB stick.
The plastic gets marred by heavy key chains.

Other Thoughts: If you have too many heavy keys on your chain it might have trouble hanging from the side of the computer. Reduce your key amount or unhook it. I unhook mine.

Pros: Small, easy to use

Cons: Easy to lose

Other Thoughts: I bought this flash drive on sale however I loss the flash drive along with another flash drive I had on a key-chain. I had to buy another one back in march. It's a really good flash drive too bad I didn't get the chance to use it.

Pros: Hanging strong on my keys for 7 months.

Size is small enough to forget that it's on your keys and closes great for protection.

Cons: When on the key ring it can be hard to open all the way.

Other Thoughts: I was skeptical of the durability because of the size, but it's proven me wrong.

And it's Kingston, of course it works flawlessly as a flash drive but I took the urDrive thing off.

Pros: Compact size, space (GB), brand, fits on my key chain, ultra portable. Great for small files like doc, xml, pdf, jpg, and small exe files 10-50MB

Cons: The plastic packaging is way more durable then the brittle black plastic this thing is made with. It chips small bits plastics here and there when plugging and removing from USB ports. It has trouble writing large data around 300MB- 600MB. It write fast for a few seconds, then stalls, and repeats this cycle until it completes. Takes over a min to write a 300MB file. Difficult to make into a bootable thumb drive because of the read and write problems. I get the parameter incorrect write error quite often when copying and writing large files to it.

Other Thoughts: I love the size and design, but it lacks a lot in durability and reliability. If you're planning to use it for small documents then it's fine. If you're planning on using this in the IT field, I would definitely recommend that you search harder.

Pros: This thing is amazing. I've had some Nano/Tiny sized thumb drives before but they always seem to break, or get lost. This thing is made so solid that the metal protection cover isn't going to break off or get lost. Very fast, and it doesn't suffer the lost connection that other small thumbdrives encounter. I bought this to use with my Alpine 9886 and this is the fastest thumbdrive I've had the pleasure to use with it. I don't have the lag while scrolling through or skipping songs. I'm going to get a 32gb now, I didn't realize my music collection was so huge.

Cons: I should have bought more than 1.

Other Thoughts: If you're looking for a small thumbdrive that doesn't fall out of the USB plug, then this is the one to buy. This thing is amazing and I'm going to buy a 32gb version. They are small enough that I can use 1 for each music genre since my Alpine plays albums by Artist Title, so having a Rock Only drive would be better than the mix and match that I'm rocking out to now. Sucks when you're in the mood for some Zeppelin and Lil Wayne comes on next. They are cheap enough that that's a possibilty. Thanks NewEgg!

Pros: Kingston is a great brand...My other Kingston USB drive works great..Kingston has a good reputation...They make great USB drives...My other Kingston USB drive works great.

Cons: The USB plug connection is a miniplug and not the full USB plug...The device needs a full USB plug and not the mini plug it has...I cannot not use it...My other Kingston USB drive works great..

Other Thoughts: My other Kingston USB drive works great...It has a light to show it is working....This one does not have that little light and has the bad mini plug that will not be OK..I will just put the drive somewhere.
