Thread: Data traveler - help needed

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 had Kingston Data Traveler 1 GB (I lost it ). It used to work very well on my PC and laptop.

when going for this kingston , the thing why i like is ,it works even after a wash . actually i left it in my pant , my mom took it and without my notice she washed it. after dried well , when i checked my pocket it was there and working well. that is not the only thing i suggest you to go on this, it is really a good product . but chek the price before going to it

kingston 4 gb is rs 425/- in chennai

me too left my sandisk 4 GB cruzer many times and it works fine now also.........
my dad uses kingston and i think thats also good.........


and ya never trust the big ones like if u see the ad of an 8GB Pen Drive for RS400 don't trust them.........

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 !!

Glad to help. Can you post the model or link of the Data Traveler ?
