 Very fast August 14, 2008
In order to transfer several large files/programs between my desktop and my laptop, I used to use external hard drives. While great for really big transfers, such drives have their drawbacks, especially when they need to be shut down before unplugging.
The Kingston 8 GB DataTraveler to the rescue: I find that for quick transfers, this USB stick is more than sufficient. The 8 GB capacity ensures that I have plenty of room, even for image or music files - have yet to run out of space during a transfer.
Also, the DataTraveler is incredibly fast. Much faster than older USB sticks, it is actually fun to use.
While I like the retractable connector, I am not overwhelmed by the overall design but that's just for the eye. In terms of reliability, I have always had good luck with Kingston, and the functionality is great, thus 5 stars.
 Very nice upgrade from a 1 GB Flash drive August 7, 2008
This is my third flash drive, after a 512mb huge clunker bought in 2002 that is about the size of those mini Leathermans and a 1 GB no name drive purchased at Micro Center.
The 8GB has plenty of space, which I need, because I tend to NOT delete anything on my drives, LOL.
The speed at USB 2.0 is pretty good, 100Mb in about 10 seconds.
One major purchasing point is that there is no cap to lose as other reviews have stated and that this sliding type drive 'locks' into place. I tried a Cruzer which has a similar design but it does not lock into place; and when you try and connect it to your PC, it slides back inside. How very annoying! I like the green color and the plastic looks like it can take a fair amount of abuse.
And, no U3 software to get in the way! I don't need any of that junk.
Buy it, 4 GB is about to be passed up as the sweet spot in Flash Drives for the 8 GB drives. I will maybe buy 1 more in the future - 32 GB.
Accidentally clicked 4 stars - Really 5 stars.
works great July 13, 2008

Stores data ok but you have to keep your finger on the button when inserting into the USB slot, otherwise it pushes the metal back into the drive. Better to use with an extension cable.
Good space, decent speed July 6, 2008
As expected, Kingston was the way to go in terms of reliability. It works just fine on every place it gets plugged in to. It can handle my Outlook PSTs and Firefox profile with no problems. Just barely slower than my good old Kingston 1GB Data Traveler Elite on empiric speed tests, but not nearly enough to not consider it fast.
It has a nice design, but size is a little bulkier than what Kingston has got us used to in the past. It should still make it in narrow sockets, though.
