Gadgester's Review - 3-stars for all the wrong reason by .. GVV (Miami, FL)
With all due respect, Gadgester deducted 2-stars for the wrong reason. Ready Boost will only recognize flash-drives up to 4GB, so you wouldn't buy this 8GB drive for Ready Boost anyway. Save your money and buy a 4GB if you plan on using it for Ready Boost. If you're looking for a flash-drive that is fast, reliable and has the ability to hold a lot of info, this is a great drive! Highly recommended....

keeps on ticking by .. Dana K. Baer (Las Vegas)
I washed this little item and freaked out because I had just transfered all my family photos over because I was afraid of my computer crashing. It had sat in the little space between the door and the washer for two washes. I dried it out (for 2 days) and tried it. It didn't even loose one picture.

KINGSTON IS ALWAYS THE BEST! WONDERFUL PRODUCT! by .. Daisy S (Hot Springs, AR)
Before I bought this, I owned several of the older Kingston Flash Drives with the white top. When I saw this one with the slider bar and no top to worry with, I had to have it. Works great and my data transfers very quickly. The slider is a little stiff, however, the flash drive is still new and hopefully it will loosen up a bit. All in all a well made unit. Highly recommend this one. It beats the SanDisk because there is not USELESS U3 software and this flash drive loads very quickly!

Great by .. Jason Bierenbaum (Pittsburgh, PA)
This is a great flash drive for $25. It's a reasonable size & doesn't need a cover because the port is retractable. It runs fast off a USB 2.0 port. There is no annoying preloaded software like some drives have. It works fine for me with both Vista and XP. I'd recommend this for anyone needing a 4gb flash drive.

Kingston DataTraveler 8GB by .. Allan Peterson (Fayetteville, TN)
I bought this device to transfer digital pictures made in the field and stored on my laptop computer to our desktop computer for processing and storage. This product performs this task very well. The transfer speed is what I have come to expect from a flash memory device. There have been reports that these devices may be slower than thumb drives with smaller capacities, but if so, the difference is not detectable.

The small physical size sometimes causes it to be difficult to find in the camera bag, but that is a minor complaint. There is a LED to confirm that data is being transferred, which some list as a desirable feature.

All in all, this device works very well to transfer raw and jpg pictures between computers with Windows XP operating systems. I gave it five stars because it satisfies my needs and to date, I find no specific faults to complain about.
