Pros: This thing works perfectly. It has even been through the washer and dryer in my pocket twice and still works great.

Cons: None

Other Thoughts: Anyone who says it is slow has a personal problem. I purchased two at Christmas 2008 and have been using one and gave one as a gift. Both have worked perfectly and fast.

Rating + 1 Poor Speed


Pros: none

Cons: This Flash Drive is very slow and takes about 35mins to copy 600mbs of data. Only 1.1mb/s. Highly not recommended in for any means since this thing holds 32gb copying that much to this drive would take hours.

Other Thoughts: Kingston hasn't generally been a bad brand for other pc accessories except this drive.

Rating + 5 Great little device!


Pros: I can't stand the hideous polka-dot salmon color, but that aside this is an awesome flash drive. The read/write speeds are moderate, considering it's a large amount of storage.

Cons: It's ugly, that's about it...

Other Thoughts: I love it, and would definitely recommend it to others, just do something about the color...

Pros: Large 32GB capacity, and transfer speeds aren't too bad. The cap sticks on the back, so it doesn't have to hang around loose.

Cons: No way to hold this by a lanyard or keyring, and is a bit long (but it is 32gb). Looks like a football too.

Pros: 32gb and it scored second place in custom pc uk flash drive round-up (the newest american-sold issue with the 4870 toxic on the cover). very convenient for backing up document folders/small hard drives of clients.

Cons: case is far too fat. why does it have to be THIS big? i have tried this in several of my computers, and it hogs its slot, plus the nearby empty slot every time, its so big.

Other Thoughts: satisified with my purchase.

Rating + 5 The Quality is a bit variable, but its still an MSI board.


Pros: everything worked. pci-e express slot, sata ports, etc.

Cons: i bought two of these at the same time. the fan does run like a leaf blower on one, but not the other. but at least it works. the other reviewer that mentioned this was correct... it really is quite loud. i swapped the cpu/fan and heatsink from an emachines t3406 (that i bought for $40 @ after thanksgiving sale -- celeron 340). the original board sped the fan up initially upon post, but dropped off immediately. not so with the MSI.

Other Thoughts: may buy again someday, but will need some more 478 cpus first... staisifed with my purchase.

Rating + 5 Exactly what I wanted / needed


Pros: I bought this to back up my personal and sensitive data. Does the job great. Fast transfer speeds and ample storage for a flash drive. Just plug it in and it shows up immediately in My Computer. Using Windows Vista Ultimate, I can also use it for Ready Boost.

Cons: The hole in the drive for a lanyard / keyring is small. A larger hole would have been nice for a more substantial ring to hang it on. No big deal, though.

Other Thoughts: Sure beats waiting to write to DVD's.

Rating + 3 Wouldn't Sugges this one...


Pros: Drive holds 32GB of data. Seems to work when needed. Newegg Rocks, price was right (much cheaper than the competition).

Cons: DRIVE IS SLOW!!! I read others comments, but the speed of this thing is rediculiously slow. No Vista ReadyBoost, means SLOW! NO NTFS! Bulky, renders close by USB port almost useless.

Other Thoughts: If I had a chance to do this one over again, I would choose another 32Gb drive. I don't say that often, but I'm not happy with this drive. I own 12 flash drives and am getting ready to buy a 64Gb. Normally Kingston Rocks, but in this case, they just kind of fizzle out - slowly.

Rating + 5 Works for me


Pros: Large capacity (30 GB), moderate speed, easy to carry.

Cons: Not as fast as some others I've owned but much larger capacity.

Other Thoughts: Speed is better than some but not as good as others. I reformatted it in NTFS as soon as I got it. I've found this is usually a good idea, especially if you're going to deal with large files. I've owned it a couple of months and no problems. I had an A-Data that died after two weeks.

Rating + 5 Works


Pros: Works. Plently of storage space. I put my mp3 music on it and take it to work. No problems accessing the songs when playing with Winamp.

Cons: Slow. The nature of these kind of devices, so not sure to call it a con. It takes minutes to delete or add files to these devices.

Other Thoughts: I gave it 5 stars because it works as it's supposed to. I just find it too slow for daily adding and deleting of files. Instead, I use it as a static storage device. I've switched to an external USB hard drive which is much faster for doing backups and file transfers.

Rating + 1 Stay away from this drive...


Pros: 32GB in one drive.

Cons: The first one I bought was very slow, so I got a replacement drive (and wasted 9 dollars on return shipping). The replacement drive is equally bad. Write speed is "excruciatingly" slow - writes about 100KB/s.

Stay away from this drive...

Pros: In my personal experience, this flash drive is fast and not that expensive.

Cons: Look really cheap with the orange like exterior and the cap is really easy to lose. I took a star (egg) because it is not 32 gb, is only 30, not bad, but still false advertising.

Other Thoughts: I read some of the reviews before buying it. I think this is as fast as my other flash drives. One PNY, one Sandisk and one Kingston

Pros: Big Storage

Cons: Don't let the reviews fool you. This is one of the worst USB drives i have ever owned. I have used drives from Corsair, OCZ, SandDisk. This is my first and last purchase of anything Kingston. This drives had given me a highest write rate of 9MB/s on large files. But get a few smaller files and this thing drops to 1-1.7MB/s. It is so slow that it is unable for anything practical.

Other Thoughts: I really wish these companies stop fooling you with these 150x lies. Its plain deceitful. Oh! yea i wish newegg allowed me to return this thanks to the no return policy i am stuck with this junk.

Pros: Concept of a high capacity flash drive is great. This thing can hold everything you need for tech support.

Cons: Not reliable.

Other Thoughts: I manage a small tech department and gave 5 of these out as Christmas presents and purchased one for myself. I came back from holiday break to find out that one of them has already stopped working and I can't return it. The invoice date was 12/4/08 and today is 1/5/09, one day too late. What a waste of money. Let's see how long it takes for the rest to bite the dust. It looks like I'll be giving mine away to replace the bad one.

Pros: Massive space. USB connection. Connector protection clicks on rather than slides on.

Cons: None.

Other Thoughts: Used this device to store RAW files from my DSLR while on vacation as I didn't trust my Laptop's hard drive. (Though you can't copy directly from camera to stick... That'd be cool.) For my 12.1 megapixel camera I got over 2400 pictures stored. Keychain/lanyard...Eh, it really didn't matter as the device fit perfectly into the pen-holder slot in my bag.

Rating + 5 Got Lucky


Pros: I got lucky and got this drive for only $30 here at Newegg w/ free shipping, must have been a mis-priced item because a week later the price doubled. I've had this drive for about 2 months now and it has proven very useful for keeping large installation files handy when installing new computer systems. Read and Write speeds are much faster than my old 2GB drive. No formal tests done, but I would say read/write speeds are about 20mb/s.

Cons: Two months now, and I keep this on my keychain and have yet to lose the cap(knock on wood) which seems to fit pretty snug, but it would have been nice if it was somehow attached by a small cord instead of having to attach the cap to the back of the drive. Only a 5 year warranty compared to some other brands with lifetime warranties.

Other Thoughts: Overall i got a steal on this drive so i can't complain. Performance has been great, as well as reliability. Finding this deal, has kept me coming back almost every other daily.

Rating + 1 Extremely Slow!!!


Pros: Cheap!

Cons: Extremely slow! I think the "150" in the product name stands for 150kbps (1x speed)... Read speed is fine, but the writing is painfully slow. If you need to write about 2GB of data, leave it alone for the whole night...

Other Thoughts: I think you get what you pay for. I am beginning to think that whenever you see a sale that looks like a steal, the manufacturer is trying to palm off a defective product on unsuspecting people.

Rating + 5 Size and Speed..relatively speaking


Pros: 32gb, it was a pretty good price at the time of purchase.
It's pretty fast. Write speeds go from 18 MB/s to 23 MB/s. However, I'm basing this off of the numbers Windows gives me. It's probably faster than that.
Read speeds usually average at 23 MB/s

Cons: I'm not sure if this is a problem with the drive or the way Windows handles reading. When I'm trying to access two files simultaneously or two different memory locations simultaneously, the drive responds very slowly.
It's also pretty ugly. Judging from the pictures, I thought there was a fabric mesh around the thumb drive. It turns out it's all plastic.

Other Thoughts: I'm currently allocating 20GB of this drive to a virtual machine's hard drive. I installed Ubuntu on it, and it was extremely slow at first. I then re-installed it with no swap (Virtual RAM for Windows). It's running super smooth now as long as I'm basically doing only one read/write intensive activity at a time.

Cons: None to date.

Other Thoughts: Although a flip cap is preferable, the cap does fit tightly on the reverse side so it doesn't get lost amongst the rubble of my desk. The usual quick delivery by the "egg." They haven't missed a delivery time in the 3+ years I have extensively used them.

Pros: Great value for the price. Bought on sale. Fast for its size.

Cons: None really, Case color is not my favorite but its not that bad.

Other Thoughts: It is not the drives fault if you don't know how to format it in NTFS. Go to the Kingston site and look it up or right click on the drive in Windows Explorer and open up properties, open the Hardware tab, double click on the drive and open the Polices tab, click Optimize for performance and click ok, you can now format the drive in NTFS.

Pros: Good capacity for the price(at the time), feels solid built.
I service computers, this will save me a lot of time carring all my files in my pocket, as some people are still on dial up.

Cons: No Lanyard, Fast, but not really fast, cap fits tighly

Other Thoughts: As someone else mentioned, it is faster when formatted to NTFS from the default FAT32. I used the same folder with mixed files to test. To load 1.47GB took 4min 42 sec with fat32 and 3min 32sec with NTFS. To delete, 47sec with fat32 and 24sec NTFS

Rating + 4 Not bad overall


Pros: The capacity, size and price are great. 32gb for under 50.00 I am happy that it is totally clean, not full of useless software or U3. Using vista, I was given the option to format fat 32 or NTFS

Cons: No lanyard and as with most high capacity drives, speed is not super fast, with my test, I could move 500meg to it in 1 minute, using a folder mixed with various types of files. Thats fast, but not as fast as my 8gb sansdisk that moves 1gb in 1 min

Other Thoughts: I know the price will be lower later, but I wanted it now!
It says its not vista ready boost ready, guess its to slow for that, I plugged it in and vista gave me the option to use it for ready boost, but I don't need it for that anyway. It is a bit thicker than some drives, but much smaller than a hard drive!

Rating + 3 Not for overclocing


Pros: The motherboard is rock solid stable at stock processor settings. It's also great option if you're building a hackintosh (not that I would ever do such a thing). Everything works without problems with iDeneb Leopard 10.5.5 as long a you select the right options on installation (its pretty self explanatory). Sleep, restart, shutdown, audio, video, and networking work without a hitch.

Cons: I have to agree with the reviews written below, this motherboard will not accept any signficant alteration FSB settings on my e5200, overclocking or underclocking. I've installed a better non stock cooler, the processor runs very cool. It won't let me go above 207 Mhz FSB even with more voltage. It also won't let me underclock at all... it's a weird thing. It seems that other people have had different experiences with Allendale processors (at least from other Newegg reviews) but not so much with the 45nm processors

Other Thoughts: I reformatted this to NTFS to get somewhat faster access

Pros: Not to bulky, Case does not feel cheap, read and write times are decent

Cons: None

Other Thoughts: I use this to transfer from my desktop to my laptop seems to be faster then over my lan. I can store some of my mmos on this so if i have to reinstall I don't have to wait 8 hours for updates and works well for watching movies on my 360

Pros: The price and the great amount of space that grabed me attention to purchase this drive. I owned many flash drives but this one is the best. I put a bunch of stuffs still left with alot space. What a great buy!

Cons: It's kind of big compare other smaller flash drives.

Other Thoughts: Other people complaint about the color, actually I like the color as make it distinct from other flash drives.

Pros: Good price. Faster than other drives that I have purchased recently.

Cons: None yet.

Other Thoughts: I have mostly Crucial and PNY drives, and this one is about 50% faster on writes than the others. Which is a good thing when moving 20+GB of data around.

Rating + 5 A little slow, but huge and cheap


Pros: Very cheap for the amount of space you get and it works.

Cons: Transfer speeds are a little slower than other flash drives I've used before, but since it takes a while to copy 32GB onto anything that's not a big deal. The white text on the housing kinda blends into the light orange background making it hard to read, but I didn't buy this thing for the looks.

Rating + 5 Great drive


Pros: This drive is reasonably fast. It probably wouldn't win any speed awards, but it is twice as fast as the drive it is replacing (verified via HDTune), and that's good enough for me.

Cons: It's a little bigger than I like. I'm used to a Cruzer Titanium, so anything will seem too big at this point. Also, it's UGLY. Some people describe it as a football. It's worse than that. It is primarily a light pinkish orange color, with a bright orange mesh over it. Thankfully, some heatshrink tubing covered it up nicely, and gave it a better surface to hang onto it (the factory finish is quite slippery).

Other Thoughts: The cons I posted are just nitpicking. In terms of hardware, it performs flawlessly. If the looks REALLY bother you, you can always mod it to look how you want.

Rating + 1 large size, low features..


Pros: pros, cheap price for 32g usb drive

Cons: ONLY supports FAT32 file systems. can't format NTFS, EXT2/3, nothing else
Cap is easy to lose
No lanyard like other drives
UGLY color (i know, it's a USB drive, but the red/yellow pattern on it is ugly)

Other Thoughts: I wish I had known about the limitations before I bought the drive. It will not take a format other than FAT32. Can't store DVD ISO images that are over 2G on the drive since FAT32 doesn't support large file sizes.

I wouldn't purchase this drive again and can't recommend it.

Rating + 5 Great thumb drive for the price


Pros: This is a great little drive, and I am very happy with it. Reading the other reviews I was worried about the speed, but these concerns turned out to be unfounded as this is one of the fastest USB drives I own. Although I needed the larger size more than speed, it is nice to have a decently fast drive, so that was a pleasant surprise. I almost wish I had gotten two of them on the Black Friday Special.

Cons: The biggest downside of this stick is the color. I don't know who come up with the hideous orange, but almost any other color scheme would have been better. Also it is just a tad on the fat side, and there are certainly thinner drives out there. Things of this size are often a bit rugged, while this is just basic plastic drive, which might work fine under normal use, but couldn't take much abuse. The cap would be the first to go, and I don't expect that to last. However these are minor concerns considering the price, as a decently rugged drive costs about double of this wonder, so if you need just basic day to day storage this will do you just fine.

Other Thoughts: This is still a great deal at the current fifty-five dollars, but on Black Friday 2008 it was forty-six with free shipping, and that was a truly outstanding deal on a 32GB flash drive in the Fall of 2008. Hope NewEgg puts it on sale again soon as I am tempted to get a second one.

Pros: Cheap. Reliable. Not as slow as people say it is. I have not tried to clock this thing's read / write speeds, but I use it everyday to transfer 1gb+ files and it takes very little time. Not even minutes. So the reviewer below must have had a defective unit.

Cons: Ummm, I guess it is ugly. it is a bit wider than most. One could looser the cap easily.

Rating + 4 My New Football!


Pros: Great Pre-Black Friday price for a 32 GB thumb. Drive was totally empty (no bloatware). Brand name drive with a five, count em five year warranty. Able to reformat to NTFS with no problem. Case is bulky but sturdy.

Cons: Color is a little odd, Someone else said looks like a "football" and it does. Would have liked a retractable stick but this is not really a con for me because I always put the cap on or near the keyboard so I don't forget it. Mines did not come with a strap, but lucky for me I had an extra from another drive.

Other Thoughts: I was going to upgrade my old dying 4GB to a 16 GB PQI drive. As I went to order it, I came across this special. For twice the price I could have a 32 GB for less than I was able to find any where. I jumped on it. Newegg rocks getting this thing to me so quick. Got the drive and plugged into my Vista computer and it picked it up right away. Formatted it to NTFS, this did take a while. Loaded Ceedo, a program I wanted to run but needed a drive bigger than 4 GB for what I wanted to do. Loaded all my programs on it and it is running fine so far. Average files transfer or save pretty quickly. Some files slower than others but no big deal. Would I buy it again at the price I paid? Heck yes!

Pros: Works great. Large size. Lots of room for all the tools and files I use on a daily basis.

Cons: It's pretty physically large and HIDEOUS!! But fortunately I was able to pry off the outer plastic covers. It's all-black and inconspicuous now.

Other Thoughts: I am a tech at a medium-size computer support business, and my current 4 and 8 gig drives were beginning to fill up quickly. This one will enable me to conveniently save many Mac customer's hard drive .dmg images on a flash disk instead of lugging around an external hard drive.

simply love it and is a must have to store software and files on the job.

Cons: holes for the strap are wayyy too small and can only attach the cheap strap that comes with it. I wouldn't recommend using that on your key unless you have two of those and tape them. I have several of these and they pull apart easily.

Pros: Large Storage Size, Cheap Price, Generally Dependable Name... not a generic 'no-name' brand.

Cons: Slow Slow Slow!!!! The slowness of this drive is killing me... i'm debating whether or not i should return the drive. The size is useless if it takes you all day to copy your files.

Other Thoughts: We purchased two of these at my work to transfer some files around and have some emergency backups on hand. It took 140 minutes (2 hours 20 minutes) to copy 2.38 GBs from my desktop to this drive. My other 'Corsair' 8gb drive does the same file in 1/4 the time. Very dissapointed in this drive.

Rating + 1 Can't handle a lot of writing


Pros: 32 GB zip drive. When I put it in the computer it only used 16kb of space so I had almost all 32 GB to use. I also own a Patriot 32 GB but when I put that in the computer it used 1GB of space. I have had no problems with the Patriot but it was much more money too.

Cons: I only have had it one day and it already is defective. It worked fine the first day no problems. Then next morning it started saying, "Disk is protected", When I tried to Format it via cmd or any other way it gave me the standard usb error IOTCL, which means my usb is dead. I haven't even used it but once and transfered about 4GB of information over on it.

Other Thoughts: I am planning on RMAing but I don't think I will use it for much not like my Patroit.

Pros: Good price. Lots of space. Pretty quick, nothing to write home about, but I have had some slow drives before and this isn't one of them. Feels pretty sturdy for a plastic drive. It has a nice blue light for read/write indication.

Cons: Not the most aesthetically pleasing flash drive, but it's not bad. I has a cap rather than a sliding USB connector, but the cap snaps onto the back end nicely.

Other Thoughts: It's about 30% larger in length and thickness as a SanDisc Cruzer Micro, so its not really that large. Despite it's few cons, the price/space/speed it worth the 5-egg rating.

Rating + 3 32GB ThumbDriver


Pros: Outrageous size for the price, Great for people on the go or the like with a greater need of file storage, or the lan gamer. Seems to be made pretty solid. Hard plastic does not give when applied pressure.

Cons: Ugly (took care of that with a little black spray paint and some acrylic touch ups : P ) Large physical size, I understand that being its such a large capacity drive one would expect it to be bigger, but I would not be surprised that the innards of the drive would be a third the size of the dense plastic outer shell. Warning!!!, Absolutely ridiculous data transfer rates, I have 4 other usb thumb drives ranging in size from 2 - 8GB and an external usb hard drive that easily triple the speed of data to and from than this drive. Expect to put on a good movie if you have large files or a folder of many small files (transfer of a folder of pictures around 2gigs took about 129 minutes, give or take)

Other Thoughts: Overall I am happy with the drive, especially can't beat the price, but definately must get used to the slow upload time of files, Don't be in any hurry to throw something on this unless it is very very small in size.

Pros: Lightening fast. I just downloaded 16 GIGS of music to this thing in about 20 some minutes. Windows Vista 64 home premium picked it right up, no issues and works just fine with my Sony Xplod USB equipped receiver in the car.

Cons: It has likely the ugliest, goofiest color design ever put to a USB Thumbdrive. Lucky for me it's hidden in my car due to a USB extension cable, otherwise it'd be embarrassing to have in plain sight.

Other Thoughts: Worth the $40!!!! Put some black electrical tape on it or something and you're golden!

Rating + 3 Spacious & inexpensive but ugly, gigantic, and not terribly fast


Pros: 32GB is a lot of space, price only ~75% of next cheapest 32GB stick.

Cons: Windows says it's too slow for ReadyBoost (read speeds look good, writes on small files are poor according to HD Tune Pro), the drive is physically huge compared to the old DataTraveler I've got, the football look is ugly (NewEgg picture makes it look a lot nicer than it is).

Other Thoughts: I'm really disappointed in the write performance of this device. I don't care about not being able to use ReadyBoost (which doesn't work anyway) because I've got 8GB of RAM, but transferring small files to it takes forever when compared to the 8GB DataTraveler it's replacing.

Still, if you need to get a lot of data from A to B and you're willing to wait a bit longer, this is a drive for you.

Rating + 5 Excellent but a bit slow


Pros: Plugged it in and got an empty 30.0 GiB FAT32 partition. There was no preinstalled junk. Once your data is on it, it is reasonably fast, and streams uncompressed 96kHz/24bit audio without a problem, even while I browse folders. It would probably stream even higher bit rates, but I didn't test it.

Cons: Writes are slow. It took 70 minutes to format in TrueCrypt (which showed it as 7.7 MB per second), and even longer to copy the contents onto it.

Other Thoughts: The orange hexagonal design is printed on hard glossy plastic. For some reason I was expecting a rubber exterior, but the plastic looks and feels sturdy, and is less likely to mar, anyway.
