This thumbdrive has solid design so I thought it would last for at least a year. Unfortunately, with less than 4 months of duty, the chip inside fell apart from the cover. I couldnt put it back so it is sitting useless on my desk right now.
Normal speed, great design but very sad durability.

Comments about Kingston 16GB DataTraveler SE9 USB Flash Drive:
This thing is perfect for folks that put keys in their pocket. It lasted me about 6 months before the drive fell out of the casing (couldn't manage to find the memory). Fortunately, I only use this thing to transfer simple files, always backed up on my HD. I'll be buying plenty more of these though. Can't beat the price, speed and design.
Pros:
• Very Fast
• Awesome design, always get lots of compliments
• Cheap
Cons:
• Only con would be that the flash drive fell out after about 6 months. I assume these things are glued in, if not they should put a little dab of epoxy in it, or some stronger epoxy.

Solid construction, tiny with a decent hole for grabbing, very handy. The only gripe is that the transfer speed is on the slow side.

Comments about Kingston 16GB DataTraveler SE9 USB Flash Drive:
I've needed to add some memory to the family Xbox to store profile and saved game information. When this all-metal USB device came on sale and offered free shipping, I jumped at it.
The one surprise I had was how TINY this thing is -- it's almost too small if you're travelling around. Being narrower than half an inch and less than an inch long, it's a little beauty that could easily get lost in a large briefcase or purse.
However, it's great from a space saving perspective. Easy to attach right next to a larger sized, older USB device in the back of the Xbox with room to spare between the (closely spaced) USB ports. The Xbox instantly recognized it, had no problem formatting, and it works like a charm.
Definitely recommended.

I use these instead of discs to give clients their photo proofs and final photos. Its pretty slow going. But its cheap and small so its hard to argue against it. If you want speed, you have to pay a lot more.

Price can't be beat and the product itself was perfect for what I wanted it for. Mine rides on my key chain and I use it to hold backup files, photos, etc. It really takes a beating bust still works flawlessly.I love that there are no moving parts.

I have this flash attached to a rather bulky keychain. At my job, I manage a group lottery for 51 people, and am constantly using this drive to update members lotto account contributions. this flash is very small in size, and is ruggedly constructed. It also fits very firmly in the USB port so that, even with multipl heavy keys hanging on the same keychain, this flash will not accidentally pull out of the USB: it maintains connection extremely well. The simple design also provides excellent protection for the contacts from potential damage. I'm extremely happy with this purchase.

This little flashdrive, firmly attached with a tiny carabiner to my keyring, will be carrying lots of personal photos overseas with me next month.
I did find the fit to my USB port VERY tight. Whether that was the fault of my older computer or the actual metal casing on the DataTraveler, I don't know but it DID fit and I downloaded what I needed incredibly quickly.
