 Works as Advertised July 24, 2008
Decent drive but I have two minor complaints. The side switch is definately more cumbersome than the top switch on the Sandisk Cruzer drive and the cheap, plastic label Kingston applied on the front of the drive is peeling off, leaving a sticky residue. By trying to remove it completely, you lose imformation about the drive (size, etc.)
 Pretty good - I am satisfied July 22, 2008
Though it isn't the fastest, it has definitely been worth the price and it is very convenient to have a USB drive with so much memory.
 Had it for about 1 month July 20, 2008
I have had this item for about 1 month now. It works great. Loads up very quickly. I use it on both my Mac and PC without issue or complication. I recently accidentally put it through the wash and it still works!!! Amazing.
Solid little performer July 20, 2008
I bought this drive for a few uses. First, to make it easier for me to transport large files from work to home and back again without having to lug my heavy and slow laptop. Second, I wanted to use ReadyBoost (see other reviews for details, but basically Windows Vista can use this drive as additional RAM so you don't have to upgrade!) to pump up memory on my home computer when the drive is just sitting around.
This drive delivered on both. Reading and writing is super fast. I can fill up the drive in a little over a minute, which is pretty outstanding relative to other USB drives. Of course, that means there's less space available for ReadyBoost.
I also use this to use music and videos and photos on my Xbox 360. The Xbox sees the drive and is happy to either play right from the drive or copy to the Xbox hard drive. I find this incredibly useful and very few people seem to know that those little holes on the front of the Xbox 360 are just plain old USB ports. If only the Xbox supported ReadyBoost! :)
One word about the retractable USB connector: NICE. I've had too many break or get crushed, bent, filled with lint/crumbs/crud/etc. By no means is this drive 100% impervious to all that, but at least you have a better chance... and you won't lose the cap.
All in all, this is an outstanding piece of hardware for a very reasonable price.
Excellent value July 20, 2008
I was looking for a big memory stick at a retail store and they were incredibly expensive. This one did the job of saving tons of movie clips...for a fraction of the price. Wish I had found this sooner--I've wasted too much on these in the past!
