Kingston DataTraveler 101 Review
So I just recently bought a USB Drive with the size of 2GB. Owh, I got the yellow/goldish one by the way. Kingston Technology’s Data Traveler 101 is a portable and practical USB flash drive that provides obviously data storage and also protection in an extremely literally featherweight and compact design.
What's really good about it is that its priced at around RM 25 (USD 7) in Kota Kinabalu at the moment. Possibly cheaper in KL. This product is designed for those cost-concious customers who wants a product with great functions and specs, but only wants to pay peanuts for it. Well there you go folks, its now priced at peanuts. Great for photographers and graphic designers (just like me :p). The model also comes in 1GB and 8GB (that are sold in Kota Kinabalu). You'll find it almost everywhere, from Karamunsing to Wisma Merdeka, you name it, you'll find it.
The DataTraveler 101 is capless, with its swivel body meant to protect the USB port. If you're lucky you might be able to find the blue coloured body, otherwise you'll just have to stick to either purple or yellow.
There are a couple of slight drawbacks from this cheap-yet-durable item. That would be its transfer speed which is tremendously slow and it does not come with any straps. Transfer rate is around about 9.6 - 11 MB/s not the greatest speed you would want when copying movies.
Summary:
Pro: Sturdy, Durable, Cheap as Peanuts!, Cool swivel action.
Cons: Poor transfer rate, did not come with a strap.
Final words, its recession time people wherever you are. So just get one will you and stop burning CDs or DVDs. They're a waste of money I tell you!!!!
-Peace out-
