5 of 5 Excellent Quality 4/15/2010
from Fort Myers, FL
I bought two of these items and use one very frequently. It has never lost data, is easy to use and holds alot of information. There is no additional software to cause conflicts. I use it on many clients machines and never had a problem. The second one I just put through the laundry on accident and the data was still intact and still works great. The light does not light up any more, but everything else seems fine.

5 of 5 Can't go wrong with Kingston 1/12/2010
from Detroit, MI
This is a nice USB drive although it is not as flashy as the others. It's fast, portable, and has a removable cap that can easily get lost. The cap does snap to the end of the lanyard loop but I'm not sure how it would work if you have this drive on a lanyard and tried to snap the cap on it.

4.3 of 5 Works as it should 12/11/2009
Taz from Pgh , PA
Only negative is speed otherwise works great. Will use for pictures storage. Also bought 4GB for my wife for her work files. Kingston is one of the trusted brand on the market so you can not go wrong with it.

5 of 5 Excellent product 11/6/2009
from Mesa, AZ
Overall, this has worked great. I like that the cap fits on the back (although I busted it off accidentally). I have had this drive in my front pocket with my keys for over one year - no problems. Durable case, functions well, no problems.

4.7 of 5 No surprises. I'll stick with Kingston. 5/11/2009
from North Central Massachusetts
Works well, as I expected. I have three others, ranging from 256 MB to 8 GB and see no reason to change manufacturers.
I'm in no rush so speed is not a concern.

5 of 5 Better than I expected 5/11/2009
from Parkton, MD
Great price and great performance. Plugged in and loaded 6 gigs of MP3s. Now I have it plugged in to my car stereo instead of my ipod. Works without a hiccup and very easy to use. By the way, the cap snaps on to the back of the thumb drive when in use, very convenient.

5 of 5 Kingston 8GB DataTraveler USB 2.0 Flash Drive 4/1/2009
Frank Groboski from Lisbon, Maryland
I have several Flash drives and the Kingstons are the easiest to use. The 8Gb is an upgrade to handle video, mp3, and PC-upgrade files. Works great. Best price thru buy.com.

Jaron from Utah
I have many Kingston thumb drives and they have always been reliable and affordable. They are simple to use and have a durable construction. They just work. Nothing fancy. Thats the way I like it.

5 of 5 Outstanding USB flash drive 3/14/2009
Archbishop Mark from Port Charlotte, Florida
As most of us can attest, we live in constant dread that our documents will somehow be lost if we have problems with our hard drive. I was using an earlier version of a USB flash drive, but it would only hold 640 MB of data which was becoming too small for the task. When I saw this item advertised for slightly more than $10 for 8 GB of storage capacity, it was time for me to upgrade. I use it exclusively for all those document items that I could not bear to lose, thus, I keep it plugged in all the time which gives me tremendous piece of mine, as all of my documents are saved on this wonderful little flash drive.

5 of 5 Dependable experience 3/11/2009
KR from Cary, NC
Never had a problem with Kingston products & prefer them to "comparable" cheaper brands. Love the stick drives. As always, everything was "as advertised", including how long it would take to be shipped & arrive.

5 of 5 Fits the bill 3/10/2009
WMG from Chicago, IL
I use several of these 'usb drives' for personal data. I've not been disappointed in the Kingston brand. For me the biggest asset is the stationary tip, not the movable tip on cruzer drives. No security software but I can live with it. The under $20 price was also a great point.

5 of 5 Very Good No-Frills Flash Drive 3/3/2009
Sam Shapiro from Farmingdale, NY
There's not much to say that differentiates the Kingston 8GB DataTraveler from other no-frills flash drives. It doesn't come with built-in security, or an external meter that lets you know how much of its memory you've consumed. What it does offer is lots of memory with all-around great performance and stability at a very attractive price. I use mine for "off-site" backup, namely copying those files from my PC that I can keep in a separate location so that even if my house burns down, my most important data will still exist. 8GB allows you to store an awful lot of critical data.

5 of 5 Works great! Recommend Kingston 3/1/2009
pcgeek from Warren, MI
No problem with this device and would recommend it. I like Kingston products and prefer them over other manufacturers. One time I had some laptop memory go bad and Kingston swapped it out for a new module (no cost to me...even free to ship it back to them). Kingston's great warranty will prompt me to continue using them. Used free shipping w/ Buy.com and got in a few days. I buy many of my online items from Buy.com

4.7 of 5 Worth for its price for sure 2/25/2009
from Philadelphia, PA
Well as the headline suggests, its worth for its money. And I could not find a better deal anywhere else but at buy.com. I mean the prices do fluctuate at buy.com. But they are the best at this website. Anyways about the product, I have just bought it, but its working great and I also have a Kingston 1 GB flash drive since more than a year, I lost the cap, but it is still working great...!
I would surely recommend to buy Kingston Products..! And this 8 GB drive is very valuable.

5 of 5 Cheers! Did exactly what I needed. 2/2/2009
from Columbia, KY
Needed a replacement drive for a flamed 1GB. Data transfers seem faster than the former drive, though I haven't put on the meter. This unit costs less than the 1GB drive. Outstanding!

4.7 of 5 Convenient Tool 1/9/2009
Karen from Crescent City, California
I use this for transferring files, also for carrying portable applications - works fine for these purposes. This is my second 8GB flash drive; the cost was less than the 4GB I purchased last year. It did take 3 weeks from the time I ordered until it was delivered, but it was over the holidays, so I'm not surprised. Plus, free shipping at the time, so I can't complain!

5 of 5 EXCELLENT Product, GREAT Price 1/7/2009
Dan999 from Clearwater FL
As the prices have come down, I have purchased THREE Kingston DataTraveler USB 2.0 Flash Drives over the last few years -- first the 1GB, then the 2GB, and now the 8GB. All have worked flawlessly -- Kingston consistently produces high quality products. With the 8GB model, I can keep my entire computer on my keychain!! Highly recommended.

5 of 5 Kingston 8 GB Flash Drive 1/6/2009
from St. Petersburg, Florida
I have four Kingston Flash Drives. 1GB, Two 2GB,and a 4GB that are over two years old and still working great. My two new 8 GB, just purchased, have checked out fine. As always, I use the free shipping that Buy.Com offers and the delivery has always been within a few days. Kingston, in my opinion, makes a quality product.

3 of 5 Only half advertised capacity 12/22/2008
Chris from Howell, MI
From purchase, using XP, the entire capacity is recognized, but I can only use half the capacity. No matter what I try, it will only write 4GB to this drive. I've tried one large file, several small files, several types of files... doesn't matter - only 4GB is usable. Will be contacting Kingston for a replacement.
Less than 2 weeks after I bought this, the 16GB drives were the same price. Just found a 16GB drive for $20 including shipping (less than I paid for the 8GB model).
