CAUTION BUYER BEWARE
I tried this drive on several computers NONE of which recognized it. The Kingston website offers several solutions, which is reason enough NOT to buy it. It is such a simple device why couldn't it just plug and play like my other thumb drives. I wish someone would have warned me away from wasting my money. These DO NOT WORK by just plugging them in.
NOT ReadyBoost compatible
I had read a few earlier reviews that said this flash drive is compatible with ReadyBoost. The reviews are usually accurate so I assumed they were right but that was a mistake. This flash drive is NOT compatible with ReadyBoost (I just confirmed with the Kingston website). Also, the clip seems too flimsy for a keyring. In fact it seems too flimsy even for a strap (they really should have made it thicker and widened the opening).
Good product, good price
like a previous reviewer, I didn't want the U3 program/features (have had too many issues with it being flaky in the past). I have had good luck with a previous small (1GB) Kingston USB stick I got as a freebie from a conference and decided to give the larger one a shot. So far, so good. Performs well, good price, nice amount of storage (no need for me to carry separate USB sticks anymore, yay!), and no bloatware to have to use it. One thing though - the packaging says that it doesn't work with Vista... more info
Vista ReadyBoost?
I tried three different systems and could not get ReadyBoost to work with it. All three times it told me the performance of the device wasn't good enough to work. I tried formating it in FAT and NTFS. As just a storage device it works great. I add songs to it and play them through my Kenwood car stereo.
