like a previous reviewer, I didn't want the U3 program/features (have had too many issues with it being flaky in the past). I have had good luck with a previous small (1GB) Kingston USB stick I got as a freebie from a conference and decided to give the larger one a shot. So far, so good. Performs well, good price, nice amount of storage (no need for me to carry separate USB sticks anymore, yay!), and no bloatware to have to use it.
One thing though - the packaging says that it doesn't work with Vista SpeedBoost, but every time I plug it into a Vista machine I am presented with the option of using it to speed up my system. Haven't click on that option yet, but will update my review later if I try it and find that it does/doesn't work.
The only negative I've found so far is that it doesn't have a lanyard included...but I was able to salvage a lanyard from an old USB stick to use on this one so no big deal. But would have been very nice to have that included. If you use a thin lanyard, you can still put the "cap" on the non-port side and not have it interfere.

I tried three different systems and could not get ReadyBoost to work with it. All three times it told me the performance of the device wasn't good enough to work. I tried formating it in FAT and NTFS. As just a storage device it works great. I add songs to it and play them through my Kenwood car stereo.

I've had this product for over a year now and it still works amazingly. It has worked in several computers because I regularly have to transport data and it has never once given me a problem. It's so small that it takes up no space and the data is restored or backed up perfectly. This is a great purchase. I love it.

I am using this drive just to backup my system's hard drive. I was pleased with how fast I could copy a 7.7 GB folder on to it. Now I trust that I'll be able to read it in a year or two if I ever have a system failure. I have several other Kingston drives of this series and have never had any trouble with them.

It does exactly what it's supposed to and does it well. Nice price too. You can't go wrong with this little guy. Quick shipping to boot. Amazon does not suck.
