This is my first Kingston purchase. Working fine on windows 7 home premium 32 bit via a usb 2.0 hub, nice size, appears quite solid. My other memory stick is an Integral rubber coated one & it feels more durable than this one, but time will tell. I have the 8GB version (they have clumped all the reviews together), it actually has 7.45GB of space - some used up on extra software. You do have the option to obtain an extra 2GB of online storage for free. A capacity meter shows how much space has been used on the flash drive.
The basic software is very good, it allows you to drag & drop, you can play music from within which will play on your media player. Also you can view slides of your pictures, watch video etc. & there is a search facility to find your files. Software updates can also be found. There is also a basic user guide & instructional video from within & of course news about Kingston products & their website - all good & quite simple to use.
The bit I'm not so keen on is the extra software: Secure browser, & Password manager, they sound good but look quite complicated to use & a lot of reading would be required to master them. Still I don't have to use them. There is also an application zone for an assortment of apps that are either free or can be purchased. All I needed was a memory stick to back up my data, but I believe besides my opinions on some of the software, I have got a good product here that will be well used.

There are a few things I like about this drive. First, the cost per GB capacity, a lot cheaper than some other drives. The swivel USB connector cover, because I'm always losing the caps from my other USB sticks. The stylish looks. The hole in the swivel cover so I can attach a lanyard. The reliability I've become accustomed to with Kingston memory products.
Speed wise it's not the fastest, but perfectly adequate for my needs of transferring large files from one PC to another. I'm getting around 19MB/sec read and 6MB/sec write. If speed is really important to you then you should consider something more expensive like the Corsair Voyager Corsair CMFVYA8GBGT 8GB Flash Voyager GT USB Flash Drive
When you plug in the drive you'll find it isn't empty, it contains Kingston's own UrDrive software, if you run this it installs a dedicated desktop (on the stick not your PC) which will pop up whenever you plug the drive in. It's basically a fancy 'windows explorer' that allows you to organise the files on the drive easily. Some may like this, I don't because it takes up space. I removed it easily by reformatting the drive. If you want a closer look search for 'How to use a USB with urDrive' on youtube.
Oh, and if you reformat it, remember to use FAT32.

This usb pen is fantastic value for money. I use it for storing office documents, photos and music and it has worked perfectly. It loads fast and transfers data quickly. I like the rotating cover as well as my old pen had a detachable lid which can easily be lost. I'd definitely recommend one of these for storing work/photos/music.
