Before buying any pendrive please do remember that it is obsolete to buy a 16GB pendrive. There are many computers with outdated configurations which will not support these pen drives. So, if you plan to buy one, drop the idea now itself. Coming to the Kingston 120 data traveler 8GB flash pen drive: please do not take the performance specifications so seriously. Many technology magazines will give you too many technical details which do not bother the common user at all. The time taken to transfer files is useful only to compare the technology that rests under the cover of two different pen drives. The data transfer time may vary slightly in two pen drives of same storage capacity. But this doesn’t cause much difference.
The storage capacity of the Kingston is 7.45GB in practice. Though the ergonomics of the pendrive tells us very clearly that it is built to last long. The Kingston pendrives do not come with outdated weak caps as the Transcend pen drives do. The Kingston pen drives usually use a sliding push button which is used for popping out the mouth of the pendrive which is connected to the USB port. The storage space of the pendrive is usually low because the storage space specified is measured using analog systems. When the pen drive is thrust into the computer the computer reads the storage space in terms of bits and bytes which makes the computer to read a storage space which is less than that specifies by the manufacturer.
The ergonomics of the pen drive is pretty good and makes sure that the drive is capable of withstanding various shocks that it is being subjected to. The overall performance of the drive is pretty good. And I recommend it to anyone who wants to buy one. Do not bother about the file transfer speeds and other test which are run by the technical magazines. They are usually done because the magazines have to choose one among the many products as the best ones. They do not much bother the user experience as far as I have tested the drives. The Kingston 120 Data Traveller 8BG pen drive is definitely here to stay. Even if Transcend pen drive gives you a few more MB’s of space they are physically very poor and are found to be rendered useless if the computer it is being used with is not grounded properly. The problems are pretty less with the Kingston pendrives. Kingston also states that some space is used up by the pen drive to ensure safety and to run applications. Some part of the drive is probably used to make speed transfers faster as it probably acts like a cache. To take a look at the pendrive click here
