- Good memory, but not-so-good travelling
I have no problem with the memory, but I was planning to use this in daily retrieval of info in my workplace. After 1 month, it became very hard to actually get into my computer port, as if the latch wasn't working. I'd say that this would be a good flashdrive to have as a back up, for leaving in your desk drawer. However,as a traveling flashdrive, this doesn't work well.

- great device
I only used this flash drive once, but it worked flaelessly. All three computers that I used it on recognized it right away and upload/download was instantaneous. My only concern is how long the button that extends the USB connector will last before it breaks. No reason to suspect it will, just the only negative I can see.

- 4.3 MB/s write speed
I tested the write speed of the red 2GB model on my Windows XP notebook and desktop, and for a single large 100-200MB file, the write speed is 4.3 MB/s. That means if you want to write 2,000MB of assorted large files it will probably take about 8 minutes. I didn't test read speed or speed with lots of small files. Note that there are two retractable drives at the same price point that are 40% to 160% faster writing (the pqi i810 and Sandisk Cruzer Titanium 2GB models, respectively). Also, the Kingston DataTraveler 110 (a newer model) has been reviewed to be at least 100% faster than the 100 as well, but the 110 is significantly fatter and may get in the way of other USB ports.

Other notes: When you retract the drive the USB connector remains flush with the body and there is no "door" (like all the retractables I've seen), so if you throw this in your pocket you may get lint in the connector. There is a small green LED light that blinks once quickly when you insert the drive, and blinks repeatedly when there is activity. The drive is recognized quickly.

There are no accessories: There is no lanyard and if you want to hang this on a keyring, you will need to find a tiny keyring and try hard to squeeze it on, and then latch on the tiny keyring to your normal keyring. There is no metal swivel cover like in one of the user photos.

The body is plastic and the label is cheap peel-off and already coming off after several days. The slide-out mechanism locks when fully extended and the thickness is a little narrower than average.

The main issue is I was expecting a faster write rate.

UPDATE: The cheap label I mentioned was just a plastic protector. After I peeled it off, the "DataTraveler 2GB" remains inscribed on the plastic.

- Faster than other USB drives
I've had 10 or 11 USB drives over the years. Most I've given away as I bought ones that were bigger and better (I "only" have 5 now). In comparison, this one seems faster than most of the others. It's definitely faster than another Kingston model I had. Portable Apps installed quickly and flawlessly, and although the description doesn't say that it's ReadyBoost-ready ... mine is.

I like the fact that I can't lose the cap.

I'll buy a higher-capacity one like this ... probably soon.

- 1GB flash drive by Kensington
I ordered the Kensington product based on product name and known quality however the package arrived empty therefore my personal experience with this product cannot be expressed.
