Kingston 4GB Mini DataTraveler Flash Drive, Black - DTMS/4GB - Slim down and store more. Great for Netbooks!

it's a very small flash drive and it functions as it should but the tip is not protected and pushing it into the usb slot over a few weeks period is going to ruin it. the plastic parts around the tip is pretty much falling apart and soon i won't be albe to use it anymore. To use it you have to put into the usb slot of your computer and if doing that ruins it then there is real point in buying this.

Its a usb, works perfectly everytime. It has taken a few falls, and hasn't broken or showed any signs of wear and tear. Great price, great product.

This mini DataTraveler by Kingston is small and very fast. I have had no problems with it - no software to install for XP or Vista ( I'm sure for Windows 7 as well). I have used 4 other brands and like this one as well as any of them and better than some. The small size makes it easy to store in pocket, purse drawer or wherever. Be careful not to lose it as it is really small.

Works as one would imagine. Smallest USB stick I ever saw in person or owned. Love how it does not come with any weird U3 software, etc.

This little thing is remarkably tough! I just put it on my key chain and have not skipped a beat since. I expected it to fall apart, stop working, or otherwise suffer from its harsh and unforgiving environment, but so far, so good! It's tiny size makes it a perfect key chain accessory!

I bought this product for my wife. She is very happy with it. It has a high capacity, it is very small and light. easy to use. It can hang in a key chain easily. It is also cheaper than most of the other 4GB flash disks. I recommend it to everyone who look for good design and small size. Please note that because of its size it can easily get lost. So, remember to carry it attached to a keychain.

Very small in size, big in portability. I run TrueCrypt encryption on it and keep passwords and such on it. Great value.

This little flash drive is small enough to fit in your wallet, but powerful and fast. It loads information in seconds. I have used it many times since I received it and it is worth the money.

This flash drive works perfectly with my photo frame due to its physical size. While others also work this one is inconspicuous. The 4gb of memory also adds to its usefulness (holds more pictures than I really care to put on it). I ended up buying two so that I could also keep one on my key ring. Love the fact that it is so tiny.

This was the perfect size for the comupter I have, it was impossible to use just any USB stick from a well know PC company the way they designed the slots were really bad design. but at least with this one nothing intrudes from it sliding into the slot.

This USB Flash drive is the smallest I have seen and it was extremely lightweight and small. The only drawback I have seen is the lack of a key for orientation in USB ports. You need to plug and unplug several times to plug the drive in correct orientation specially if you can't see the USB port properly. The speed of the drive is also very good compared to its size and the price. One more thing: You need to keep your eve on this thing as it might get lost easily due to its small size.

this is one of the smallest flash drives I've bought and while I like the idea of flash drives, I've always been bothered (aesthetically) by the big honkin' thing hanging of the side of my laptop. This drive is small, discrete and and had a nice capacity. I've installed the portable apps software, and 2 large video files that allows me to work with my favorite applications despite the limitations setup my the work network. It took a little while to install the apps and transfer the 2+Gb video but the video played without a glitch or pause. Getting data on may be a little slow but reading seems just fine

A great value w/free shpg. on this datatraveler. No problems with fit on USB ports, rapid transfer feed, works perfectly. As far no cover, use your imagination and improvise.

I have several jump drives that I use, but I have to say this is the smallest and and most light weight drive. No cap to lose or misplace. You have to be carefull how you insert the drive in the USB port to make sure it is facing the right way. For a drive with 4 GB capacity it is and excellant buy and value for the money. I have to say, whenever I need to buy something I always check Buy.com first. They seem to always have the best price and fast shipping. Overall, I would buy this drive if you want small and light weight.

...because it's small, that's what my girlfreind says about it. It works like any other flash drive but it's so small I'm afraid I might loose it. I am amazed daily at what leaps technology is taking, this is a good little piece of the future.

This was a great buy! I wanted a small drive to fit the USB port in the center console of my car for MP3s (what a great thing to have). This drive is actually smaller than I thought it would be. I had a problem with a different brand "mini" drive in the past, so I will stick with name brands like this from now on.

Fabulous, I love the size. I just keep it in my coin purse in my pocket. 4 gb is plenty large enough to back up all the files I need to carry. You can accidently put it in upside down, but you learn to look first; no bid deal.

I haven't used this much since I got it but transfer speed is rapid and seems to be great. Very nice size. I will be interested to see longevity without a cover.

I do have to watch which direction I insert the flash drive, but I carry it in my coin purse which I already carry in my pocket. It is amazingly small and I use it every day, as I teach technology.

I have several thumbdrives but none this small. In fact, this is now my largest capacity thumbdrive and yet it is my smallest. Very cool and works great.

This deal was sweet. The flash drive is so nice. Small and very affordable. It is going to work like a dream on the new radio I put on my Harley...Looking forward to using it when all this snow leaves Michigan.

Got two of these for around $5 each, with free shipping. Plugged it into my computer that has XP Pro, and WALLAH!!! worked fine. I've yet to get the radio I ordered from Crutchfield into my car, which has a USB front input, and see how they work with it, but they work FINE with the computers! I got it mainly for putting MP3 files on for my car radio, but they're as handy as pockets on a shirt for transfering files from one computer to another!

It works great! I like how small it is. The only thing I would change is for it to have a cover or to be able to retract the end so it doesn't get damaged.

I was looking at moving files on a regular basis that started to exceed 1 gig. This looked like and turned out to be a great option. Happy with the price and speed of transfer.

I love the size of this relatively large capacity flash drive. It's also a well-known manufacturer.

This is an excellent low profile USB device. It is about as small as you could make it and still install it and uninstall it. It is far more durable than I expected, although, I would not keep it in my pocket everyday. It is an excellent choice if small and low profile is your priority. If durability is your priority, buy a big one with a cap.

Hello People, this flash drive is very sleek, slim, easy to use. Got a great look, only thing missing is the cap of the flash drive, which would have made it complete yet doesn't make a big difference.

It's Kingston, so of course it works great. But I had already purchased another brand that is much smaller and that I can actually slip into my billfold, so I was hoping that this one was that small too.. no such luck. If you want really small, get a Crucial Gizmo Jr... but this one is also a very good product.

Firstly, should have bought this here, paid 8 bucks more elsewhere. I dropped the drive on the floor and then oops stepped on it. This broke the outside cover portion off, but the inside business portion still works fine. I noticed then it was small enough to fit in my wallet. So that's where it lives now, never without it, very convenient.

Great little product. Smallest flash drive I've come across. No ReadyBoost, but I use XP, so I don't care. Give the plug a little TLC as there's no cover. It appears to be sturdy enough, but I wouldn't want to get a bunch of pocket gunk all over it. For the price, it can't be beat. Shipping took longer than anything I've purchased from Buy.com - over 2 weeks.

This is a really cute and easy to handle USB stick.. But Do not Buy if you are planning to use it across many USB ports that are heavily used. Its too loose on most of the USB ports and i couldn't use it on any computer except my new laptop. You have to hold it tight if you want to use it.

Thing is absolutely great in all respects. My only comment is "Where is it?". They are so small that you can easily misplace or lose sight of them. But that's your problem - not a discrepancy of the item.

Needed to be plugged into the USB port on the tower (couldn't be read on the port on the monitor). Better if a case or protective covering for the tip was included.

Product works great! No problems using it on XP Pro. It auto-installed with the advertised size. I've tried it on multiple USB ports on different computers, including a notebook... no issues. There is an activity LED on it, but its hard to see. It does not come with a lanyard so I attached one. This thing is tiny which is exactly why I bought it. More than meets my expectations.

Very fast data transfers along with very slim design, this is a product worth buying. For the price I paid it was a steal. Only concern was it is too slim and I am afraid I might break it without even realizing.

I found the price per mb to be better than most deals currrently out there. Ease of use is self explanatory. I have added a small ring and clip to all of my usb drives for organization and to keep all of my drives together. These drives and my organization systems work out great. I buy different colors and styles to help organize my files, i.e. exe, doc, work, ect... Hope this helps. Master

I didn't pay enough attention and thought this was more like typical "protected" thumb drive. It's not. My mistake. It's a somewhat hard to insert chip size with no protection at all for the contact points. This is not the thumb drive to carry around with you like the bigger ones. The ad says pocket sized for easy transportability. True, but without protection you could lose what you've stored.
