I saw an ad about a 4 GB data traveler. IT is claimed to be very small and light weight and costs USD 10/=. Can anyone tell me whether it is worth buying? Is it suitable for any PC in India or should it be used only with lapiops?
Please give your opinion if you have used it

Kingston Data travelers works on any computer with USB 2.0 interface. Only need to find which Operating Systems are supported. Find the product you want in this page to know more info (eg: price, supported OS, warranty etc).

A comparison chart of all Data Traveler products can be viewed here.

PS. I think a 4 GB flash drive would cost above Rs. 900 ($ 18).

I read reviews about the data traveler and found that it is extremely small in size compared to the usual pendrive and so u r quite likely to lose it if u r not careful. Also, I think it doesn't have a cover on top like the pen drives we purchase. Looks as if it has to be handled carefully

Thanks all of u for your replies, especially Archer and aktmnr !!
