Summary: Kingston Datatraveler
Review: I purchased a 256 mg Kingstron Datatraveler USB drive over other drives mainly because of the Kingston name and the 5 year warranty. It has a nice, sleek design. Installation on my Dell PC running XP was plug 'n play. However, when I started transferring files, the device was obviously slow. I re-read the spec sheet which stated it was USB 1.1 compliant and USB 2.0 "compatible". No transfer speeds were mentioned on the package. I did more research and decided to return the device to the store where I bought it. I then purchased a Lexar 2.0 Pro and transferred the same files at what seemed 4x the speed of the Kingston. If you don't care about speed and are more concerned about warranty, then Kingston is for you. The Lexar device "only" comes with a 2 year warranty.
