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.

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.
Solid/Reliable but thick June 12, 2008

Drive is light like previous reviewer stated but constructed well... nothing loose or shaking.
Another plus (a huge one): It showed about 4K memory used but unused space still showed 8GB... no annoying pre-loads taking up space.
The other reviews give credit to the slide mechanism but I will give more detail... you press down so that it can slide forward and it clicks/locks into place and cannot slide back unless you press down with your finger and drag it back. Very secure and when you use it you will realize that it will not fail you.
Speed is a little slower than my old Sony MicroVault but it is adequate and for the $36 spent it is the best value out there overall in terms of size and speed. It did not have password protect so I downloaded the free program (truecrypt) despite very few negative reviews which concerned me but I have been very happy so far and it protects like my Sony and possibly has stronger encryption.
I give it 4 stars ONLY because it is thick and I had to force a very slim usb mouse connector or my very slim Sony drive next to it. The mouse connector and Sony drives do not touch when they are next to each other but when either are used with the 8GB drive it is a very tight fit.
You will not be disappointed.
