Colour Name:Blue| Size Name:16GB|Amazon Verified Purchase
Bought a couple of these 16Gb G3 Datatravellers and they work just fine. Read and Write speeds seem fast enough - Windows 7 on my old Dell laptop reports 20Mb/sec when reading, and 10Mb/sec when writing to these sticks during simple large file copy operations.
fwiw, I also timed another file copy test under XP on my faster E8200 desktop. 53sec to write 4 files totalling 780Mb to the stick, 23sec to read same files off the stick back to hard drive.
Only criticism is I also have the very 1st generation Datatraveller with removable dust cap, and when you remove the dust cap and place it over the opposite end of the stick, it remains snug and secure. Not so with the G3, it doesn't take much to knock the dust cap off the key ring end of the stick.

Colour Name:Yellow|Size Name:8GB
I bought this 8GB DataTraveler and a TDK TRANS-IT 8GB today. I only wanted one but I couldn't choose between them because neither had read/write specs. When I got home I benchmarked both to find out which I'll use and which will collect dust.
The Kingston Generation 3 8GB DataTraveller USB Drive reads at avg 11MB/seconds and writes at avg 5MB/second (4.5 - 6.3MB/sec)
The TDK USB 8GB Trans-IT Drive read at 21-23MB/second and wrote at avg 5MB/second.
If you don't plan on moving a lot of data in a rush then this device is a great deal. As a readyboost drive it more than meets the min specs. If you use your usb thumb drives a lot to move a lot of data then look for a faster one, there are a lot out there.

Works as expected.
It's a USB memory stick, It works. Its a good price.
I could write about the write and read speed and
compare it to all other like devices, but it is what it is.

Does the job
Chose this on price, does the job, no failures. This is a great data stick for loading big documents or saving special photos, being bright yellow it's also difficult to lose!
