Kingston DataTraveler 101 G2 16GB Capless USB Flash Drive Black

Comment:
Was looking for a cheap 16GB flash drive and this product was exactly what I needed. Inexpensive and 16GB.

Comment:
It's speed is about 7 megs/secs. It's not that fast but it's cheap and reliable. The cap doesn't prevent dust and lint from entering the usb head. But at least you won't lose the built-in cap.

On sale for $20 around early 2011 is a good price for a 16GB USB flash drive.It has average read/write speeds, which can be somewhat painful if you're copying large amounts of data, especially in lots of small files, but oh well.Very small formfactor, and the design is slick, sleek, and very sexy with the black and silver highlights. The swivel cap is also a nice touch to prevent loss of the caps. I don't think it'll last very long with me since I treat my flash drives very badly and thus stick with ugly rubberized ones, but they'll be fine for the people I got them for =).

This is the best flash drive I've worked with at this price point. Very fast read/write speeds. I actually got one as a replacement from Kingston and I loved it so much that I ordered a second one. Highly recommended.

Works great, as expected from any kingsston product.

I like the capless feature, I find it annoying sometimes to take off the cap for flash drives and then wasting time if I misplaced the cap somewhere. Didn't install software, speed of transfer rates seem pretty standard. So far no problems with the drive.

Price matched this down to about $23 to replace an old 2gig drive that wasn't big enough anymore. I deleted the urDrive stuff, so I can't really say much on the usefulness of that, but the drive itself has performed perfectly. Capless designs are the way to go as I'd never be able to keep track of the tiny caps...

This is a decent flash drive, in several ways, i.e. at 16GB, it can hold a fair bit of data, and on sale it was a good price for the size.I didn't benchmark it, but it feels about the same speed as the other two USB flash drives I have, which, although it's usable, isn't that fast(the packaging states 10MB/sec. read, and 5MB/sec. write speeds).The capless design is one of those things that can go either way, i.e. the semi-open, swivel cover could allow dirt into the business end of this drive, OR, for those folks that constantly lose the caps from their USB flash drives, this design could be quite beneficial. Personally, I prefer a cap on my flash drives, but this unit was priced nicely for its' size, so that I overlooked the swivel cover design.

Great little flash drive, accidently put it through the wash, let it dry for a couple of days and it worked perfectly. Hoping to keep this around for another few years

Since I don't need any fancy encryption, or excessive size I grabbed this 16GB drive while it was on sale. While I have a tendency to go with Mushkin USB flash drives I was quite surprised with the respectable speeds that this little guy was able to yield.I have mine formatted to HFS+ due to using it with Macs all the time, it also has a nice slim profile that doesn't get in the way of other USB devices plugged into a notebook, which seems to be rare these days with everyone releasing flash drives that could withstand a nuclear holocaust or being in under the sea due to some massive encasing of rubber.Kingston does a good job of keeping it simple and functional.

The rotating metal piece serves well to protect the USB connector. I like it this way as with this design you can't lose it.The read/write speed is in fact better than what I expected.Would buy it again. This review was modfied by poster @ 12-02-10 06:41 AM

I bought this because I needed to transfer some data from my old XBOX 360 to my new one. The XBOX detected the flash drive fine and was able to format it for use on the system. So far I've transferred my Live profile to the drive and will start moving saved games once I put down Black Ops :)

works great, seems fast transfers, good price, and also comes with urdrive software to manage your files

Comment:
Overall, I'm pretty happy with this one. I kind of agree with the other guy that it looks/feels kind of cheap. The software was good, but not really worth keeping in my opinion. For a USB drive transferring files works pretty well.

Overall its a great product , fast enough for everyday tasks, get it when its on special. Writing speed could have been better
