User Ratings and Reviews
4 Stars Avoids misplaced caps
I bought this because I don’t like keeping up with the separate caps. I did expect the swivel cover to fit closer. With the big gap between the cover and the plug end, I feel like the plug is merely covered, not protected. Now that I’m getting a collection of these, for various uses, I’m considering getting a case for them; then loose caps and cover gaps won’t matter.
I also think the metal swivel is very unattractive from a design standpoint, but it’s function that matters and I have no complaint there. The price is also fair, so I won’t hesitate to buy more of these.
5 Stars How to recognize a deal.
Don’t be too quick to disparage your old thumb drive that’s three times the physical size, one-third the speed, and one-sixteenth the storage capacity of the pictured Kingston Flash Drive. I’ve never lost one of those primitive (i.e. pre-2007) Sandisk flash drives. With the current crop of thin plastics, I’m fortunate to retain the cap for a month, and now that the drive itself is as small and light as a disposable cigarette lighter, I find it difficult to keep the gizmo in my pocket for more than half a year.
Knowing that I wanted a drive with 2-4 gigs and with either a retractable connector or one with a “permanently”-attached protective cover, I simply started going down Amazon’s list of best-sellers. This one, appearing at #17, was the first one with a firmly affixed cap. (The swivel design is quite ingenious. I recently tossed a retractable Transcend drive that kept retracting whenever I attempted to insert it in my computer’s USB port, not good,)
If price were no object, I’d look for the slightly larger, heavier and more rugged Sandisk Titanium (not the “Micro” version, however). But at present this blue (“cyan”) Kingston (always a trustworthy brand) is not only the right price but the exceptional no-brainer: it’s twice the size of its smaller 2 GB brother yet is going for 3 dollars less.
5 Stars Inexpensive and work
It was ~$14 shipped. Inexpensive and it works like it should. Plenty of space for a little thumb drive.
5 Stars Highly Recommended
It is a great product and it holds a lot of things on it and I highly recommend it to anyone.
4 Stars Happy with Amazon
It’s a good flash drive. I would pay more for one with a metal housing.
