Kingston DataTraveler 2GB has failed in less than 2 weeks of intermittent use.
I have attempted to attach the device to several different Windows based computers and get the same error message each time: "USB Device Not recognized. One of the USB devices attached to this computer has malfunctioned...."
Other USB devices work without error.
I have tried various command prompt and registry fixes, to no avail.
Bottom line really is that this device malfunctioned in a very short period of time. I had acquired this through the Pepsi Points promotion for free and still feel cheated.

It worked great transferring files from an XP desktop to my new Vista laptop, transfered files fast, terrific product so far.

I LOVE THIS KINGSTON DATA TRAVELER. IT WORKS GREAT AT KEEPING DATA I WORK ON AS I TRAVEL, AND AS I WRITE MY BOOKS. I DON'T LOSE DATA IF I SHOULD HAPPEN TO HIT A KEY OR A "MISPLACED" BUTTON NOW AND THEN AS I WRITE. IT IS TRULY A "LIFESAVER". I AM SO GLAD I BOUGHT IT AND THE SMALLER VERSION TOO.

So far, this USB memory stick seems robust and it works in a wide variety of machines without having to install new drivers. It's very nice that the cap fits on the other end of the drive, like a pen cap, so I'm less likely to walk off without it. However, I wish the loop at the end were slightly larger. It's barely large enough to jam on a standard key chain loop, and once on it's so tight that the memory stick won't slide around the ring with the rest of my keys. I gave up carrying it on my key chain for this reason; now it lives in the bottom of my purse.
Rating: - No problems at all, fast and easy storage.
Not sure what else to say other than the Kingston Data Traveler 2 GB USB Drive (DTI/2GB) has been great for me for quick backups, moving files, and keeping small programs on the go with me. I've had mine 6 months and it's fast & smooth. Just plug it in and you've got a new drive to copy files to and take them on the go. Lightweight, small, and inexpensive. Most of all, mine has been reliable and that's what's important.
