Perfect size for Windows 8 recovery drive
591646
I purchased two of these to use to transfer from the hard drives (of 2 PCs) the recovery partitions to free up hard drive space.  The 32GB size for less than twenty bucks was a great buy, and they worked perfectly for the task of creating a recovery drives for use with Windows 8 which are about 20GB each in size.  NOTE:  The process of creating a recovery drive is easily found in Windows 8 if you search for 'recovery', and the 32GB size is perfect for the job.  (The process took me about 1 hr using this drive with a Windows 8 PC with a Core i3 processor and 8GB of memory.)

While not the USB 3.0 standard, for most uses the USB2.0 (which these drives are...) is definitely adequate for my needs.

I have used Kingston branded laptop memory for years, but these are my first USB flash drives.  As with the laptop memory, these drives appear to be excellent quality and work as promised.  I like the attractive design, and am pleased to get so much bang for my buck.

I recommend purchasing the Kingston Digital 32GB USB 2.0 Hi-speed Datatraveler Flash Drive for recovery drive back-ups and other storage needs.  Backed by a 5 year Kingston warranty, you can't go wrong with this one!

Used to create the restore disc for my new laptop. Perfect!!! I've used ADATA storage devices before and am very happy with it's performance. When I saw this one, I was compelled to purchase it because it so matched the flavor of my laptop. This helps to identify which stick belongs to which computer or task. The capacity is more than enough for this purpose.

Excellent enclosure to easily turn your old internal desktop hard drive into an external USB drive. Perfect way to use an old hard drive I salvaged from an old computer.

I had to get a new flash drive as my previous drives failed to connect on Windows 7 for some reason. The drive seems small enough to not be cramped with other drives you may have in a horizontal layout. Not sure about a vertical layout. The swivel seems tight enough on my drive to protect it. I can see a potential for that loosening up though and not offering much use.  Overall, great price for the amount of memory it has.

Purchased solely for Windows 8 Restore for our new laptop.  After backup was complete, we were able to make more room on our hard-drive.  It's now inside our fire-proof safe if ever needed.  So far, seems to work as advertised.

inexpensive, great for the Windows recovery backups. pretty fast data transfers. Carrying tin is a nice bonus and very quick shipping speed.

OK, this drive is pretty awesome. The days of USB 3.0 have really revolutionized external hard drive utility.  Make sure you have a USB 3.0 compatible motherboard and this thing will be your best backup friend.  I use it to store Windows 10 images from my personal computers and an array of audio and video files. I can back up a complete image of my Windows 10 SSD in under an hour!  I bought the 2TB version and I think it's the perfect size for my needs. It has a single USB 3.0 cable (no extra power source needed) and fits in the palm of your hand.

This is a nifty little device and did exactly what I needed it to do.  I was able to read the drive as well as reformat it.

A reformat for windows 7, install tbhe provided software and I was up and running. The drive wakes up instantly (some say they have to wait 2-3 minutes). For having a raid setup with 2 TB of storage this easy from a brand I know and trust it was more than worth the money (I was originally looking at a few off brand setups that cost more on frys.com).

Did my homework and this is exactly as advertised.  Very please with this drive.

As with all the Kingston products I purchase they work great.  Needed 8GB to make Recovery drives on Windows 8 units and these fit the bill.

This enclosure came ready to take the HDd from my dead HP Pavilion notebook, it has since helped me recover my files and continue my work that was stalled. This enclosure is small, fits in a shirt pocket, is made of an aluminum extrusion with plastic ends and fits the 2.5" SATA drive just fine. It gets recognized under Vista in a snap, the driver loads automatically. The transfer speeds seem as fast as my other external drives. I would buy another, for sure.

this is my secnod western digital hard drive, but the first of the passport variety.

the best part of this HD is the size.  it fits easily in the palm of my hand.  it also has a nice, sleek design.

the set up was a breeze - plug and play.  it comes with a firewire and USB cables, but if you have an older mac, you'll need a firewire adaptor in order to use it.

the 2 TB is size is truly 2 TB.  i'm not bragging or anything, but it's nice to be able to fit my entire collection of 140,000 mp3 in one cozy, comfortable place.

highly recommended.

This is not the biggest or fastest drive out there but I needed a drive with these specs to replace a failed drive in a RAID array.  It is exactly what I needed.  I've had no issues.
