It's obvious. The larger drive allows me to find information quicker from Amazon.com Lots of Macs, actually. Prior to this purchase, I had picked up, and returned, an OCZ model that failed to mount in a bus-power keyboard USB port and after that generally failed to work at all. The Kingston model has exceeded my expectations. from Amazon.com Works great out of the box on my Vista PC. Unlike some previous generations of entry-level drives from Kingston, this one can be used with Windows ReadyBoost to enhance system performance (which means that the drive satisfies some minimum read/write speed requirement). I like the swivel cap design - it protects the USB plug well without a loose cap to worry about misplacing. from Amazon.com This is probably the most stable flash drive I've ever used. The portable applications I run from it (like Firefox and Chrome) run smoothly as if they're installed on the computer. from Amazon.com Pros: This is a pretty great flash drive. Read/write speeds are average, especially considering the "bursty" speed of USB ports. from Newegg.com Works flawlessly on my XP machine. Even got it to work (the whole 16Gb!) on an old Win98se laptop (4Gb hard drive) after installing a generic driver (w95usbflash11.zip). from Amazon.com i like the swivel cap design - it protects the usb plug well without a loose cap to worry about misplacing. from Amazon.com i fixed the problem by hanging it from a small paperclip. from Newegg.com if there were a downside, it could be that the led is tiny and occasionally hidden by some plug orientations. from Amazon.com the portable applications i run from it (like firefox and chrome) run smoothly as if they're installed on the computer. from Amazon.com
