Kingston Digital 16 GB USB 2.0 Hi-speedDatatraveler Flash Drive DTIG3/16GBZ, White and Blue

I have used Kingston for quite some time. I also prefer Lexar. However, I have never had any issues with Kingston. The last data stick I bought from them was a 4GB model. That was 5 years ago and it is still functioning properly. The load speed is good and the data is safe. I highly recommend them. I am a former MIS worker and have worked in a major hospital for their IT team. So, I am not reviewing this as someone who has only handled a handful of these and has a limited working knowledge of these types of technologies. I would recommend these items hands down every time with a small note of caution, all technology is susceptible to flaws. When I worked for the hospital we would deploy hundreds of computers at a time and invariably once in a while one was a dud. It happens and could with your data stick. If it foes, then simply contact the seller and see about a replacement. Take care of this item and you will have it around for a long time. It is a great deal at $20.

What else can be said about a great product like this. Many satisfied customers like me can validate it here on Amazon. In fact, I have already bought 3 "Kingston" USB Flash Memory ( 2 of 16 GB and 1 of 32 GB ). This is a newer version of the Model: "DTIG2", it's the 3rd generation of this model, is the Model: "DTIG3", is very fast. Because each year the costs of a flash memory is lower and lower, today you can find many identical as this for less money, but there is something you should always ask yourself: It's really worth saving only about 5 or 10 dollars to buy a brand not well established or recognized for years?? I do not think it's worth saving a few dollars and risk a second quality product when for only about 5 or 10 dollars more you can have a high quality product as extraordinary as this. You should note that "Kingston" is the 2nd largest supplier of flash memory in the world ( the 1st largest supplier of flash memory in the world is "Sandisk" ) and both companies created one in 1987 and another in 1988, only manufacture products of Highest Quality, there's no doubt about that and the most important thing is, that both are 2 proudly American Companies.

If you're looking for a great low cost usb drive. This is clearly a good solution to store some basic data, photos or documents. The product is pretty solid and has excellent protection with a password enabled encryption. When I received the product, it was in excellent condition and it worked instantly with Windows 7 and transfer rates of data between the device and the computer using USB 2.0 was definitely satisfactory. So a very impressive device all together. If you're looking for more memory, obviously you can upgrade to higher gigabytes with higher end Kingston jump drives, but for me, this did the job...

It's worked flawlessly since I've had it, which has been some months at this point. It outlasted a PNY, which "crashed", lost the data, and is now unusable. I use this in place of a hard-disk "file drive" (I keep programs on one drive, and set files and temp directories and so on to divert to a second drive), albeit with frequent backups to two other USB hard-drives (yeah, I've had lots of data-loss problems in the past). Anyway, it's been fast and flawless as a Temporary and Files drive. I have another flash drive I use for Pagefile.sys, but want to eventually replace that one with another Kingston, since I've always used Kingston RAM and have always had good experiences with their products.

I got this because I wanted to be able to store and move information from one devise to another, Kingston has an excellent user reviews and track record! I however not used this one yet. I have no worries it is good to go! My son is going to England with his college this summer, this will help him greatly. He is in media / mass-communications and he will be able to store what he needs. Kingston Flash drives in the past I have purchased have been very reliable and easy to use! Have one similar to this and it has been working wonderfully!

Very hard to beat this Kingston memory stick. I have tried them all and most are still in my desk drawer broken. But this Kingston is the top dog in the pound. Lid stays on nice and tight, data transfer is always fast, easily loaded in any computer. I keep 2 of the 32 gig ones on me at all times. Now that I use Kingston I don't like the other brands. Great price and plenty of space.

For a USB 2.0 Flash Drive this works great and is cost effective. I think Kingston makes a good product and is typically pretty fairly priced. The only problem I had with this Flash Drive is after using it pretty much constantly for a couple of months, I lost it. It will probably reappear one day at the bottom of a backpack or something. I now however try to only buy USB 3.0 Flash Drives.

I have been a long time Kingston fan and I still am. The product has been getting cheaper over time. I just bought my second one of these 16GB flash drive and popped it in. It worked fine except no LED light turns on. I thought my product was defective. I called Kingston Tech support and got a live operator which was really nice and she did not ask 100 questions before answering my simple one. I ask if my product was defective and she told me that they discontinued placing the LED lights in this model about a month ago. My old one works fine, just the key chain part broke and crazy glue only keeps it together for about a week and then it breaks again so I had to buy a new one. I really like the light as sometimes the flash drive would not connect right away but I knew it was working if the light was blinking. On a positive note, the price came down a lot. 16GB is the best deal as of yet.

I got this item in 2012 and writing a review now. The item worked really well for me and has lasted me for many years. I would recommend using this but I wonder if you can find larger capacity ones.

Great item - quick shipping A++

Well it's a USB drive that works, holds 3.71GB of files after formatting and testing on my computer shows it can write about 5-6MB a second. So for a drive that costs less than $10 definitely an excellent buy. The only drawback with this drive is the cap can't be stuck on the back of the drive while it's in use like some of the other drives I've owned, so you just have to keep track of it or you'll soon find yourself losing it which is an inconvenience. But as long as the cap issue isn't a dealbreaker for you, I see no reason why you shouldn't consider this drive, it's well priced, reliable and works.

does the job

I am very satisfied with this product. I never had the old problem of non-saving files or damaged files when putting this flashdrive in the computer. I'm using a Mac, and I am often transfering files from Windows and it works great. I recommend it!
