Customer Reviews

Massive Storage for Tiny Price
Wow... 16GB for less than £18. I remember paying more for 256MB

This pen seems well made and up to the high standard of other Kingston meory cards and sticks I own.

The capless design is great especially if you're like me and loose every thing you put down. The USB connector slides in when not in use.

Transfer speed is good and better than my 4GB stick.

All in all a great buy.

Large Capacity For Money
For the money this is a superb device, it's fast at reading and writing which is what you would expect.

However, I have encountered one problem which is the reason why I have only given it 4 stars, in order to use the device you have to slide the side button, this retracts the USB mechanism, when you plug in the device, this sometimes forces the USB back into it's housing therefore not activating the device.

I don't know if Kingston are aware of this little problem, there should be a means to lock the device in the open position. The other good benefit is the 5 year guarantee

Great value for a high capacity device
This is a very good little piece of kit.

First of all it has a different design. There is no cap. Instead, it has a slide button which retracts the USB port. It takes a bit of getting used to but it means no more looking around for your missing cap.

The drive itself can hold 15gb of data, which is enough for a system backup or several movies, thousands of music files and of course files for work! USB transfer speeds were slightly slower than for a smaller 8gb device I own but still pretty quick. I have managed to open and run any type of file directly from the flash drive, without any problems.

The black design isn't as nice as the white of other Kingston flash memory devices but that doesn't make any difference to it's performance.

So if you need something light and have a lot of data to carry around this is highly recommended.
