Does this flash drive make a good bootable disk? Or should I use the Kingston rugged 64 GB?

I haven't tried it but I can say that it is fast enough to use as an alternative bootable drive.

I've used the Kingston HyperX as an OS X 10.9.x and 10.10.x utility disk. Wish I had bought the 128, but still very usable with reasonable boot time.

Yes, it makes a great bootable USB drive. I use http://www.easy2boot.com/ for the free software to make it bootable.

I'm running 4x1.5TB drives with ZFS RAID-Z and Ubuntu 12.04 LTS on a flash drive with 2x4GB 1333. It's been performing very well, no complaints! I'm just not looking forward to when I have to upgrade those drives, at least they were free.

Yes I read some people had problems with large USB keys and a complex folder setup. I used an old 2gb Kingston USB key and I put the. MP3 files on the root of a Fat 32 partition

I'e checked it can be formatted to be bootable. Ubuntu boots in less a minute. I think it was reformatted by me about 100 times for testing speed with different fs, I don't see any lost space.

Works but my computer used 3-4 cd's. I recommend getting a 64GB Flash drive. Longer lasting, less of a headache and it will save you more time. It's worth it. Amazon has good deals. PNY, Kingston or San Disk work well for me. Right now Amazon has them for a great deal that you can't get in local stores.

My experience is you should NOT rely on this memory usb to save your files. I bougth it because the large amount of memory (256 gb) at such a low price. It just NOT true. I suggest not buy it.

just do a fresh install its better! saves hassle and driver issue's and so on of many issue's, but those issues don't happen alot ! but non the less just get a windows 7 dvd or windows 7 bootable USB drive, Choose in bios to BOOT the windows 7 bootble usb drive install windows 7, it won't take you like 15mins.i'v used this SSD i got like 3 of them ! 1 on desktop! as boot drive for windows 7 1 on a MAC book pro for MAC OSX + Windows 71 on a normal laptop for windows 7 - linux !! and they all work perfectly fine ;)

The drive works well. USB 3.0 is faster only if the computer being used is too. The drive is slightly smaller than WD, Toshiba, etc. But it is not significantly smaller or faster than a like WD. I think WD comes in 2TB for about the same price.

The device comes with a FAT32 partition, which is quite limited but very compatible.I repartitioned my USB Flash drive to Mac OS Extended (Journaled), and so files on it can be as large as the device.

I have a 18r with 120'solid state flash memory, but I've never opened the machine. Sorry. However if you're speaking of configuration, it's part of the other drives designated to preform fast boot ups, etc. my system has two 500GB Hard drives and the solid state HD is dedicated for flash memory.

Just checked one of mine (using a great tool called "Crystal Disk Info". Great Tool, just choose "Custom install" {not express} and opt out of anything else, it's just bogus ads)So the speed says 5400RPM and it says 8Meg of flash (RAM). The actual internal hard drive is: wd10jmvw-11ajgs1 Look it up for more specs on the drive inside. Enjoy!

It should work either way. I even used a 64gb flash usb drive for a little while when my hard drive burnt up.

I put everything on this flash drive! It works really great with picture and/or documents!This one you are asking about is 32 GB! I got the 64GB and its great! Room for everything on it !

Thank you--the "bootable sd cards" sounds like a more appealing alternative. I'm not wild about the idea of having an external CD/DVD drive--kind of defeats the purpose of this highly portable option. Thank you!

Yes I believe so should all be in the specs. I have had no trouble with the drive, Seems very reliable using it with my macbook retina.

I can confirm 16 gb works. I have not tried larger, as it becomes a moot point. This unit does not support search/browse by folder from flash drive. So if you plan on using more than a couple of folders (which I would presume you would for a drive that size) move on and get a better unit. I very much regret choosing this one.
