Review By: Rakesh Review Date: 08 Apr 2009
I have been Kingston datatraveler from last many years but previously I have been using 1GB. Well, this is probably my fifth flash drive which has 8GB. I am bad about losing them and especially losing the small plastic caps that some drives provide to cover the metal part that inserts into the USB port. So I was drawn towards this model, where the metal part actually retracts into the body of the flash drive, obviating the need for a plastic cap. One of my 1GB kingston I gave it to my younger brother. I bought this product because of its 8GB capacity. With a capacity of 8GB, DataTraveler 110 contains room for high-definition photos, graphics-intensive documents, videos, spreadsheets, presentations, term papers, and music that can be stored and retrieved in a flash. Sleek, practical, and attractively designed, the affordable DataTraveler 110 serves the needs of the budget-conscious user as well as those looking for significant storage capacity in a lightweight, compact design. I have got a 5 years of waranty also.
I have also found that the data transfer rates is so fast and it was not overloaded with lots of extraneous junk programs. I am happy that I got 8GB which is enough for me now because it is spacious now and handy also. I can carry my entire documents folders back and forth between home and work as kind of an additional backup. In short, I can say that this has been a solid and reliable performer thus far and will serve me well until I inevitably lose it though I have already lost two of my drive because of the dorkishness of it and have to buy another one. Well, this is a great product that does exactly what it was supposed to do- work by reading and writing data with no problems experienced whatsoever.
Also I would like to add that it is also quite fast compared to other similar drives that I have used. The 8 GB Kingston DT-110 is definitely a great quality product even though it is very light, but at the same time it appears to be extremely rugged with a very nice and reliable retracting USB junction switch. I like the switch too. The switch is either pushed open to use in a USB port or pushed closed in the opposite direction to retract making the user end of the unit completely safe from breakage when not in use. Thus, there is never any cap to loose either. Hopefully they will soon make this model in a 16 or 32 Gb version too and I will buy that too.
Well, I am a software professional and everyday I need this unique product. And also, I have had this storage device in routine use now for over 8 months and its performance has been as expected earlier-exemplary! I highly recommend it for its relatively small amount of storage capacity, namely 8 GB- Now who knows the price would be very reasonable in future. Now the flash drive has become a everyday need. So I think 8 GB is more than enough for any normal users.
