Kingston 16GB DataTraveler 101 G2 Genuine!(only black available)
Attractive and practical designed, the affordable significant storage capacity in a lightweight, compact drive.
It features a swivel design for added functionality and ease of use and is backed by legendary Kingston reliability plus a five-year warranty and free tech support.
rep is referring to usb drive though…
When i clicked on the link it took me to a micro sd 16gb that was class 2.
Possibly updated after my comment, nice to see the neg love here :)
Good price, but a rather ugly USB stick.
take it out of the case and use electric tape and wrap around it
Yes, too slow, use the same chip as my $19 Toshiba, so same speed
Kingston DT101 G2 16GB(15.61 GB)R:12.92 MB/Sec W:3.39 MB/Sec
But good price anyway.
thats pretty slow. I got double with my $15 Imation 16GB( from Staples)
How do you find info on the chip used in usb keys?

sigh everything is made in china these days…what are the chances of this being really genuine?
whats "genuine"
some companies just make their stuff in China (we know the cheaper labour etc)
Kingston fakes are all over the net, capacity maybe real and packaging may look legit with holograms and everything. But the fact of the matter is they are not made by Kingston and Quality wise may not be as reliable. do a search on http://www.globalsources.com for kingston and you will see what i mean.
i.e.

Yeah Hutchoo does not even appear to have an ABN on its website. Search on ABR and ASIC turns up nothing. Domain registered in Hong Kong. Would not be registered for GST I guess. So what if the product is not genuine?
Anyway. Please report to the moderators if any counterfeit products are posted on OzBargain, or your 16GB USB can only fit 512MB of data, etc.
We will assure of 100% genuine. ABN is registered under Won Won PTY LTD for Hutchoo.
76 130 892 483 won won pty ltd ( Active). Any issue or concern, you can contact myself on [email protected]. Thanks
According to ASIC Website WonWon PTY LTD is Deregistered =S

Well I ordered one… when it arrives I will run it through this to find out how "genuine" it is:
Thanks silentstorm117, we will check with ASIC on that. Appreciate for comment. Thanks again.
no worries :)
Yeah thanks for the info. I am not trying to be picky (oh okay I am :) but for online shops selling to the public, it would be nice to know that you are actually an Australian Pty Ltd with an ABN and is GST registered, on your website. That would certainly build more confidence to potential shoppers.
Thanks Scotty, will get the system admin to update some of our info and get assistance to check with ASIC on the other issue. And of course, you are just being responsible to your visitors, and so, we will do the same. Thanks again!
Is there a minimum transfer rate for a set top box recorder? Just wondering if this would cut it.
as a general guide("your mileage may vary") that soniq tv with pvr needs a usb drive with 6000kb+ write transfer speed to record HD or do timeshift, which would be class 6
yuck!
2-3 week delivery… (But they are up front about it!)
parcel should arrive tomorrow or Thursday. Thanks
nothing yet still :(
Let me check with the postal service. It was sent out to them for delivery.
Our apology!
Arrived today, seems to run fine! 14gb is the total space on this once formated, also write speed is around 20mb/sec read / write not bad!
Please let us know if anyone run into any issue. Thank you for your support!
I got mine. Looked dodgy so I contacted Kingston:
"Thank you for contacting Kingston Techsupport. From the information you provided, we believe that the item you purchased is a counterfeit and not genuine Kingston product. Note that non-genuine Kingston products are not covered by Kingston warranty. "
I will be asking for a refund and recommend others do too.
