5 of 5 Awesome Price Monday, April 27, 2009 Jeff from Longview, WA
It's great to have so much storage on such a small device and easy to use. No difficult buttons or slides that tend to move when you try to insert. Great Product at an Awesome Price! Was this review helpful?
5 of 5 Inexpensive Sunday, April 26, 2009 A Customer from Farmington Hills, MI
Most people are familiar with flash drives and know that these devices generally don't last more than 2 years. I've had some that have lasted only 6 months with heavy use. For the price, this is a good deal. The fact that there is no cap to lose is a plus. I wish these devices also came with a durable string that could be attached to a keyring. They used to package such items with these devices but stopped a few years ago. Was this review helpful?
5 of 5 Excellent product, excellent service Monday, April 13, 2009 Basic computer user from Vero Beach, Florida
I could not be happier with my purchase from Buy.com. Computer is getting ornery, and I needed to back everything up in a hurry, anticipating a hard drive crash. A good product, exactly as ordered and delivered quickly. Was this review helpful?

5 of 5 An awesome drive Saturday, April 04, 2009 Trotter from Cleveland, TN
I picked this up as a replacement for a lost USB drive, but it has turned out to be more than just a stand-in. Fast transfer times with no hiccups, plus a swivel cap so it won't get dropped or lost... what more could you ask for? Plus it came with a great price. I am very happy with the drive. I just wish I had bought another one to go with it. Was this review helpful?
5 of 5 Kingston 8 GB Wednesday, February 25, 2009 Gary from London KY.
I purchased two because of the great price, shipping was also free BUT very very slow. But I wasn't really in a hurry to receive them, worth the wait.
Nice flash drive, the swing cover also nice but will come off rather easy. Holds alot of data. Buy it you will like it.

5 of 5 Excellent Product Tuesday, February 24, 2009 A Customer from Howland, Ohio
The Kingston 8GB Data traveler is great product packaged in a neat tough compact package. Great for tucking away in a pocket or brief case for tough travel conditions. Also, the secure traveler software is a nice bonus. Was this review helpful?
4 of 5 Good feature and value Tuesday, February 24, 2009 A Customer from Bellevue, WA

5 of 5 great value and performance! Tuesday, February 17, 2009 Marty from Hayward
I'm very happy with the price and performance of this flash drive. I use it to back up a huge amount of family pictures I've painstakingly scanned.
I can then give the entire collection to my family as gifts, they love them. Its a nice way to preserve our family history. Buy.com is a hard deal to beat. Was this review helpful?
5 of 5 Slick design made simple Tuesday, February 17, 2009 A Customer from boulder, co
The design is simple but sleek. Too bad the performance is not the best compare to other flash memory sticks, but the design makes up for it. I really like it since the handle is pretty rugged and won't easily fall off. In short, I would recommend it. Was this review helpful?
5 of 5 Nice USB Drive, Great Value! Tuesday, February 17, 2009 Data-Pros.Net from USA
We bought two for backing up a small business accounting program and they have preformed very well. This is a great value and we like the colorful choices. Thanks Kingston. Was this review helpful?
5 of 5 Great Plug and Use Tuesday, February 17, 2009 A Customer from Chicago, IL
I bought 2. I like the fact that I have used these in 5 different pc's and they were instantly recognized and usable. (not so with Cruzers) I mainly use USB drives for transferring files and some storage needs, and I want them to be available with no muss no fuss. These did the trick. User manual comes preloaded -- nice, but so far, hasn't been necessary! I have not used the security features.
The pivoting cover does come off easily. If there are any changes I would make, it would be to attach it more solidly; and on my wish list, the ability to put it on a keychain of some sort.
These arrived in excellent condition and in a timely manner. All things considered, I very highly recommend purchasing these from Buy.com. Was this review helpful?
5 of 5 Good quality for the price Tuesday, February 17, 2009 Viet Tran from New Jersey
This one is great...fast and small...I use it for my car for music and it works fine. Software that comes with it works fine. no big deal. I see people complain about it but I had no problem with it. Was this review helpful?
5 of 5 better to have a full cover Monday, February 16, 2009 A Customer from baltimore
The semi-cover looks cool, but I still prefer a full cover which can prevent the dust to come into the adaptor. Was this review helpful?
5 of 5 great drive Monday, February 16, 2009 A Customer from Providence, Rhode Island

5 of 5 ANOTHER GREAT BUY!! Monday, February 16, 2009 SandiLee from Sunny SoCal
Outstanding price for an 8gig, really like the swing-top. Bought when the price was lower and free shipping, a win-win! Even with free ship, it arrived in just a few days. Thanks again Buy.Com, terrific product, bargain and service! Was this review helpful?
5 of 5 Good enough for me Sunday, February 15, 2009 Martin B. Brilliant from Holmdel, NJ
Value and ease of use are great. I don't know about performance. Overall I'm quite satisfied. Not using the security feature. It's plugged into an old laptop running Windows 98 SE, replacing a 10GB hard drive (the computer only recognized 8GB) that was connected via a USB adapter and finally failed. It takes up a lot less space and works with the old driver but it seems slower. The old HD was partitioned as two drives and I used Partition Magic to partition the new drive the same way.

5 of 5 Good stuff Saturday, February 14, 2009 A Customer from New Lenox, IL
This flash drive is (like all Kingston flash drives) a solid performer. The 'swinging gate' cover is convenient, easy and cannot be lost. But the absolute best thing about this drive is the price. I've never bought a gig of data at a lower price!
I'm pumped!

5 of 5 A good value for the money Monday, February 09, 2009 A Customer from Brandon, MS

5 of 5 Kingston USB Drive - Excellent Monday, February 09, 2009 Sachin from Iowa City, IA
This is my first Kingston USB drive and I was looking for something without the hassle of a cap. This swivel design serves that purpose. I have had USB drives with a retractable design and eventually all of them turned out to be a pain. Performance of this drive is good and 8GB is a loooot of space. Shipping was extremely quick. All in all, I am very pleased with this product. Was this review helpful?

5 of 5 Data Traveler Monday, January 19, 2009 A Customer from Lenoir City, TN
I've had several of these in the past. Unfortunately, you get used to storing and transferring information and soon you run out of space. The 8 gig seems to be a perfect size for music and pictures. This unit is really easy to use also, just plug and go. You just need to keep in a secure place. These things are so small they could disappear easily. I remember when floppy discs were the big thing, but after using this unit 1 time you'll never store or transfer information any other way. My niece is a teacher, and she stores her lesson plans on hers. You'll love it. Was this review helpful?
5 of 5 Great value and Protection Feature is great! Friday, January 16, 2009 Monica from Downey, CA
Pros: for the price I couldn't pass this up. It was actually better than I anticpated. It has a great Protection Feature which allows the user to partition off a specificied percentage of the device or the entire device with a password for protection. This feature made it easy for me to carry one drive for my 'protected' price list for work and be able to pass it off to my client to upload a file of theirs without seeing or downloading MY Files.
Cons: Still a bit worried without a tight fitting 'cap' Was this review helpful?

5 of 5 good transfer rates & physical size Tuesday, January 06, 2009 A Customer from California
Pros: Good transfer rates, small size - enough so it doesn't interfere with other usb devices when plugged into the back of the PC. LED light for activity. No cap to lose. Hinged cap does a good job of covering the connector while in my pant pocket. Included security software(PC only).
Cons: None really but it would be nice if they came in holiday styles. Was this review helpful?

5 of 5 Great deal on a great product! Thursday, January 01, 2009 alexpeyton from Rockton, IL
Buy.com is the best for offering excellent products at a great value. This Kingston Data Traveler is no exception. I've only had this product for a few weeks but so far have had no problems whatsoever. 8GB is an awful lot of space for such a small and inexpensive flash drive backed by a trusted brand name. Was this review helpful?
5 of 5 Great Value! Wednesday, December 31, 2008 A Customer from LaGrange, GA
Amazing amount of storage for the price. It was not that long ago that I paid $20 for 1 GB for a Data Traveler. I gave this 8 GB as a Christmas gift and it was very well received. Was this review helpful? Click here to see all 94 reviews
