Performance

The performance of the DataTraveler Mini Fun was much lower compared to the previous drive from Kingston;U3 Data Traveler.


It was even slow in buffered read/write speeds when compared to the Transcend Jetflash 210, the last thumb drive we reviewed. Considering the size of the drive and the fact that it bundles 1 GB, its performance is totally acceptable.

Kingston-- insead of beautification, Add should read more about the electronic poarameters like retentivity, data transportability-- perhaps days have come that manufacturer should invent a method of automatic identification of OS and try to force load a driver, ofcourse with the permission of the machine

LOST THE CAP !?!? I'm sorry, maybe I'm missing something here... ? THE WHOLE IDEA OF THE DESIGN IS THAT YOU SNAP THE CAP O-N-T-O THE UNIT WHEN USING THE USB CONNECTOR , isn't it !? !? >>> HOW CAN YOU THEN HAVE PROBLEMS MISPLACING IT !? Really, that sounds to me like you would have to have the cap locked onto a chain *rolleyes* . . . For a little gem that size, considering production cost, it certainly looks reasonable to me. And cute :)

I would like to tell all those persons who have lost the cap of this thumb-drive or are most likely to.. someday or the other ;that this thumb-drive reminds you of Lego toys due to some reason. The cap can fitted to the back side of the drive while cnnectng it to the USB port.... it also helps you to pull it out of the port easily. So, instead of just loosing your cap fix it at the back-end of the drive while using it.

The cap is meant to plug into the back so it won't get lost. Why do some people defeat a great design by tossing the cap aside and then whining that it's easy to lose?

looks worst and cheap..take a look at that average yellow plastic.. and compare it with sleekness of Transcend and Kingston as well which obviously have different class

Ha,I've lost the cap on the 1st day itself. My office-maid simply threw it into trash over night while the drive is connected to my PC. Anybody who buys it- my advice is -be xtra careful with the cap specifically.

Haan Haan AJ from Chandigarh Dus saal rukiyo 40GB Flash Drive mein aane ke liye! Spoke like a Chadighadian. Aur yeh Shivprakash Jodhpurwaale Sample ki baat karta hai Khud "Sample". Well anyay I've use Kingston Memory in my Laptops and it works pretty well, Infact Toshiba's OEM is Kingston for memory but, when it comes to the one above what difference does packaging it as something new make? Why not pack it as a Dildo and then it can download/txfer/share some Orgasms! :D As it is it's slow 2cum like the Ladies. :D

Hi, Device is welcome-- Kingston-- insead of beautification, Add should read more about the electronic poarameters like retentivity, data transportability-- perhaps days have come that manufacturer should invent a method of automatic identification of OS and try to force load a driver, ofcourse with the permission of the machine. You may not read data from 1Gb but it coul be possible to install a driver. this would aviod miniCD which anyway you have not given.
