Kingston DataTraveler 101 DT101G2/4GB G2 4GB USB 2.0 Flash Drive

Tiny usb stick
I bought this 4GB stick to put my cd's on to leave attached to the car radio, the connector is hidden. I was able put about 25 cd's on it, the radio will only take 512 files, and I leave it attached so I have access to a good selection of music when I am driving. It is really small, which is what I wanted, and the fact that the cover rotates means that the top won't get lost.
It is formated as FAT32 which my radio will access. It does have some software on it when shipped but I deleted it as I did not require it. Works file as a blank drive, no drivers to load or download.
Good quality cheap drive. I would consider using a larger version of this make. Note that I already have various other makes up to 32GB and this one is comparable in quality.

It's a little gem!
I am moving to a new computer soon and wanted to park a copy of My Documents and Favourites out of harm's way. I read the reviews kindly left about this drive by other people, for which many thanks! I noticed the advice about uninstalling UR Drive and /or deleting superfluous software.
I am somewhat nervous of mechanical devices, but it was recognized instantly and became "Ur Drive F". I opened it and wondered what possible harm can happen if I right-click on it. I got "format" among other options. Left-clicking that, I got a stern message that should I proceed I would be deleting a lot of software.
"Really?!" said I, rather pleasantly surprised, and proceeded. Now it appears as KINGSTON DRIVE F, performs immaculately, and when I click "eject" it becomes "a removable disk". Perfect!
If I may be allowed to contribute a slightly frivolous point with a serious intent: like many other contributors before me, I noticed how very TINY this USB Drive is - on my desk it could...

Seems pretty good
I haven't run any speed tests, but this drive seems to write and read as fast as any other usb stick I've used. I'm glad about that, because the reason I bought it was to move 11GB HD video files around and it does that admirably.
Mind you, the first thing I did was to free up space by formatting the drive, thus getting rid of the preinstalled software - I would assume that things would also be slower if I hadn't done that.
