Super Talent Elite Series - Nickel Metal 8 GB USB 2.0 Flash Drive STU8NIKB(Black)
This review is from : Super Talent Elite Series - Nickel Metal 8 GB USB 2.0 Flash Drive STU8NIKB (Black)
Nice little drive . Bought this drive elsewhere on the web for about $1/GB. It was a coupon promotion and is no longer available for that price.
The good:
Heavy metal feel. Quality construction. No physical drive errors on testing. Great price: got it for about $1/GB with free shipping after coupon code. Pretty snappy speeds compared to Kingston Data Traveler 410 "High Speed" 32GB (see below). Red LED is muted and not overpowering like many drives.
The ok:
LED stays lit and then blinks when you are accessing the drive. Most other drives only have the LED lit when accessing the drive. Key chain can only be removed...permanently. That is, there is no easy way to remove the chain and reattach it unless you have an extra key ring around.
The interesting:
This has nothing to do with the product but I bought my first 1GB USB drive in 2001 for about $100 ($100/GB). This drive has 32x the size for 35% of the price (~$1/GB). Crazy!
The specs:
FAT32 speeds as follows using Check Flash 1.14:
Average read speed: 15.78MB/s
Average write speed: 7.20 MB/s
For a general comparison, the Kingston Data Traveler 410 "High Speed" 32GB has published (on the Kingston website) read speeds of "up to" 20MB/s sec read & 8MB/s sec write. That "up to" makes me think that in everyday use, the speeds are the same. Therefore, if the Kingston 410 is called "High Speed" on the Kingston website, than this device should also receive that title.

Stylish and Functional . This thing feels like it was made out of a recycled Cadillac. Looks great. Awesome weight to it. No problems transferring any data. Great purchase. The little hook is cool also.

Nice and Smooth . This product is really good, for those who don't want to loose it, it has the keychain extension as well as a thick outer cover that is very smooth and shiny. Recommend to anyone.

The Best Flash Drive Ever . well i had recently got my own (Super Talent Elite Series 16GB Flash Drive)and it works perfect but the reason why i got this flash drive was because of the look of it and how much memory it has. and beacuse i wanted one for my xbox 360, well it works really well on my xbox the memory is at 15.1GB and thats alot of space for me and another reason why i wanted this flash drive was because microsoft is selling there flash drives but at a higher price. for an 8GB flash drive for the xbox is like around $40 dollers and the 16GB flash drive around $70 dollers so im thinkin smart i dont need there flash drives if you could find them cheaper, unless u want to pay more for something you could get much less and it works the same as the other RIGHT. and plus there 8GB is about how much i paid for the 16GB so yeah i made a good deal. well thats all i have to say thanks amazon im vary happy with this product. :-)
Cons Review
Not Good . Unfortunately, my experience with this product is not like that of the other reviewers. I ordered two of these drives--one for myself and one for my wife. I intended for us to use them so that we might use them for our XBoxes--to transfer content from on to the other. Initially, everything seemed to go well. However, in less than a week, my drive began to malfunction. My profile would continually become corrupt (and no, I was not prematurely removing the drive). I thought I was simply unlucky and decided I'd just order another drive down the road. A week later, my wife's drive began to malfunction in a similar fashion. For the past month, we've been using a slower, older 8GB drive, and have yet to have an issue with it.
I've been using Super Talent on my PC--so far, successfully; but I do not use it frequently enough to be able to recommend it for PC use. Still, I'm throwing an extra star in--just in case. Based solely on my experience, however, I am unable to give this drive a favorable recommendation.
