I have one and it works great. Def a losable cap, though.

this price isn't very good. Newegg recently had an OCZ 16GB flash drive on sale for $12.

$5 on black friday maybe?

still too expensive, these flash drive or any memory card should be each gig per dollar

Still not a bad deal overall.

Great, white-so it looks just like my 1GB Data Traveler.

this is a pretty good deal since on black friday this will be had for about 2 bucks less

aesthetically displeasing, inconvenient cap, and not that great of a deal. PASS.

Umm, whats the big problem with the cap? When you take the cap off you stick it on the other end. I've been using these Kingston drives for a couple of years and haven't lost a cap yet.

not "aesthetically displeasing" ? So it needs to look spiffy to store data?

I'm with RepoMan. I haven't lost any caps. I take them off and throw them in a drawer. Don't need no stinkin' caps.

16gb corsair for $20 @ newegg
#13   theman - Posted 2:08 pm PST 11/18/08 (88 Posts)
Ditto #9 and #11. The cap is no problem. I just put it on the other end now. When I had my first one of these, I lost a cap, and emailed Kingston, asking for a new cap. They sent me three new caps, no charge, and pointed out how the caps easily go on the other end when not in use (like a pen). Haven't lost one since.

good deal, can't believe how cheap these drives are anymore

Kingston flash drives are very reliable. The three that I use have gone through hell and survived.
