Kingston Data Traveler 16GB USB2.0 Flash Drive

Comment:
On a Windows XP box, it was immediately recognized, It now has Cynwin on it. I've had no problems at all with it. The speed has been fine.

Kingston 16GB works great with but Mac but unfortunately does not work well with the Windows-7 unlike 4GB & 8GB. I called kingston Tech Support and they are aware of this fact and currently working on fixing this issue.

haven't really used it heavily yet, but so far I really like it. Good price for size and speed.

I have had this drive for about 8 months. No problems so far; however, I tried to use it with some propriety business software to download a 138 mb audio file and was unable to do it. The drive would begin the download, then it would slow down, freeze, then disconnect from the system and disappear as if I removed it. This is a new computer with W7 home premium 64-bit. No problems copying out the exact same file to other brand 2gb and 4gb drives. Only this drive gave me trouble. I was able to copy out a web page and some other smaller files to the drive with no probs. Checked the hardware compatibility list, and this 16gb drive doesn't show as compatible with W7. The designation it gets is More information coming or something like that. Other Data Travelers are okay. Our IT guy says that sometimes W7 won't recognize the bigger flash drives but apparently has no problem with the smaller drives 4gb or less. Otherwise, great drive.

I haven't had a lot of experience using these usb flash drives, but this one was so easy to insert & go that I gained a lot of confidence to use them more often. Thank you.

I support over 2000 users where I work and bought this unit for the added storage over my 8gig. I'm currently supporting a software migration and I'm constantly backing up users files and data to this flash drive and restoring it once the image process is complete, It has not failed me once. Great little drive

Maybe I just got a bad one, but on two occasions, files & directories I had created the night before didn't even exist on it when I was preparing to turn in assignments for a programming class. As an IT guy, that really made me look bad. No problems with the 8Gb that I bought, though.

Great deal. The ability to save the cap on the back means it's harder to lose. And price cant be beat.

I have several Flash Drives: Kingston, A-data and Centon. By far the best I've had, for the best size-to-prices ratio is Kingston. I now have a 4gb, 8gb and 16gb and they are PHENOMENAL. I HIGHLY recommend Kingston.
