Kingston 8GB USB 2.0 Hi-Speed DataTraveler 110 (Green) (DT110G/8GB)

The main reason I bought this drive instead of others is that it does not have a lid 4 the USB connector. The mechanism is such that if you push up the button on the side, the USB connector pops out. I found the following problems with my drive (within 3 days of use)

1) The USB port on the my Kingston DataTraveler doesn't connect reliably 2 any USB port on any computer. There seems 2 be some loose contact always.

2) The USB connector is supposed 2 "lock" so that the connector doesn't go into the device (instead of the USB female port on the computer or whatever) when you try 2 plug in the USB drive. The locking mechanism isn't reliable on mine & at times the connector gets pushed into the memory stick itself instead of the USB female port on my laptop.

3) This USB memory device is a little big. If you have two adjacent USB ports on your computer & this device is plugged into one of them the other USB port on your computer is blocked & rendered unusable.

This is a very good Item.. I has a problem with the delivery but it was satisfactory resolved by Amazon. Thanks.

I really expect that this flash drive is a Hi-Speed as named by Kingston (Kingston 8GB USB 2.0 Hi-Speed DataTraveler 110-Green-DT110G/8GB) but it's not. When you insert it, it will take time 2 pop up. The transferring of data is another problem. You will only be pissed off. Better not 2 try this product.

I had read the review 4 this before buying it & was duly warned about how slow this drive is, but I took a chance anyway. Definitely a good size, especially 4 the capacity. However, it is slow 2 transfer files, even with folders on the drive.
It took me 16 straight hours of transferring files 2 move 4500 items (on average of 50KB each, so not even hi res pix!) from my hard drive 2 this jump drive.
But at least I can move some non-essential files off my desktop now. It just takes a bit of patience is all.

Another good product from Kingsston & a good price from Amazon.

One observation (not a criticism), the DataTraveler enclosure is a bit thick. The device is difficult 2 insert into the USB port on my TC1100 tablet computer when I have another USB device plugged in. The USB ports on this computer are quite close together so this should not be an issue in most applications.

Works as advertised, rapid response from merchant.
