  • They are notoriously slow!

    To quote teaearlgrey http://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/10066#comment-46104 :

    "See the Kingston/ANZ site for the data sheet http://www.kingston.com/anz/flash/dt100.asp?id=2, not that it actually gives much data.
    Read/Write Speed = “Standard”
    N.B. Windows (Vista) ReadyBoost™ = No "

    if any one wonders

    Quote from xception
    "Copied a 2.43 gig file in ~2 minutes and 40 seconds.
    16.5 MB/sec write , 22.6 MB/sec read."

    • Sorry but I don't believe this. The RW speed is so slow it won't even meet ReadyBoost requirements. Usually they boast write speeds like that if it really is that high. I would buy one in a second if this was the case, but I'm sure the write speed is about 5-6MB/s and the read is 20MB/s (which is fine, the write speed kills it).

      EDIT: A review states - 'The drive's 16.4MB per second average read speed and 7.3MB per second write speed are slower than recent drives we've tested, though not by a lot. ' @ http://computershopper.com/peripherals/reviews/kingston-data… for the 4GB model

      Various sites quoting the 16GB version as writing at 3MB/s and reading at an abysmal 6MB/s (http://www.techwarelabs.com/reviews/storage/datatraveler100)

        I will redo the speed test on Atto disk benchmark and will post the results on here when I get to work tomorrow.

        NSW, Australia

        Shipping Method

        This is currently the only shipping method available to use on this order.
        Australian Post EParcel
        Shipping Charge $14.95

        It got 7+ vote now, if it's my post $39.95 + $9.99. I believe it should be 7- vote now.

        Scott, Do you agree?

          Danilo — I guess you have to blame your website that has postage information so conveniently accessible :)

          I am putting my -1 vote here — cheaper elsewhere (@ ShoppingSquare).

            @scotty: Is it packed inside esky? $14.95 for 50gr item is 'very' excessive.

            Data Traveller is also one damn slow usb to use

            total price + delivery != bargain..

    I love the blurb:

    Convenient — pocket-sized for easy transportability
    Simple — just plug into a USB port
    Practical — capless, USB connector protected within case
    Colorful — available in black

      Funnily enough, I thought black wasn't actually a colour?!

    I bought this at MSY for around this price, maybe a tiny bit more. I'm very happy with it, I don't think its slow at all. It took maybe a minute to do 1GB, but I wasn't in an urgent rush that I needed it to go 20 seconds or something.
    For that price, its very good and reliable

  • still a good deal

  • Slow as.
