Kingston DataTraveler Mini Slim 4GB

Zitat: Cons: + Extremely Compact + Acceptably Priced Thoughts As years progress tech items become smaller and smaller, the DataTraveler Mini Slim is a prime example of this. Unfortunately Kingston made some significant performance sacrifices to make this technology fit inside the small package. With read speeds maxing out at 14Mb/s and write speeds not even pushing past 2.5 Mb/s it’s hard to recommend this USB drive. While you can find the 8Gb variant on eBay and webshops for €20 and less, it would take you more than an hour to fill it with data. With competitor products performing much better at similar price points the Mini Slim should be avoided unless its unique size and design is of importance to you.

Zitat: Pro: + Fast read speeds + extremely small form factor Cons: - No software bundle - no USB extension cable

Zitat: Best used as a storage device to travel with essential files but not the best if you need to distribute data that’s stored on it.

Zitat: Remember when 1GB of flash storage was the new thing and it went for a premium price a few years ago? You can pick up this amazingly small Kingston 4GB DTMS for about $10 which is very nice. With the amount of space available on the drive, you´ll have no trouble shuttling files between computers and keeping a backup handy just in case. I always say to backup on two devices (at least) and this can accomplish the task with ease. Granted, you´ll notice the read and write speeds (or lack-of) when copying big files, but in normal use, it should be fine. This unit doesn´t aim to set speed records, just physical form factor ones. I believe it targets a good niche and the price is right. If you´re looking for a physically small flash drive, look no further than the Kingston 4GB DTMS.
