  These are lovely bits of kit, but not the fastest in the world (16MB/s write speed, fine for me)
  
  They look great and really suit Ultrabook type laptops or MacBook's nicely well, should how something look bother you.

  Cool, just placed an order for 2, have read a few good reviews and in truth I think this will suit my needs.

  Something to consider... I ordered one of these from Bentham on 24 May, and received it 31 May. However, my PC would not see it and I emailed Bentham, who referred me to Kingston. Kingston believe the stick to be faulty - and have referred me to the supplier for replacement... So... I've emailed Bentham again, but as it's a long weekend, apparently I can only expect to hear from them in 3 days or so, which will be bringing it pretty close to the 7 days that I have to return it in (or so I've been led to believe, from previous reading). It seems a lot of hassle for something at this price level, especially seeing as it's obviously faulty/unusable, so far 2 phone calls and about 5 emails... and counting...

  Kingston so likely to be fake, but still a good deal at least £-per-gb.

  The 7 day rule does not apply to faulty goods. Your contract is with the seller NOT the manufacturer.

  I bought 2 of these the other week and they are superb. I don'y need lightning write speeds, just a reliable way of moving data and the actual drive is great looking, tiny and lives on my keyring. Highly recommended by me.

  How come the Amazon reviews are a bit mixed?
  
  "The Read/write speeds for it aren't in the specifications which I found strange. I did a test with crystalmark and it gets about 17 MB/s, still a good speed"
  
  "the writing speed is about 4MB/s"
  
  Also this looks the same product and equally mixed reviews:
  
  "I tested this drive on two different computers using H2TestWv1.4 and achieved write speeds of 3.5mb/s to 4.1mb/s; read speeds were consistently 15.1mb/s"
  
  "speeds turned out to be (with a crystalmark test) 17 MB/s"

  Hot from me - and to think I'd promised not to buy any more USB2.0 flash drives too.... :|

  I didn't use CDM, but first watched the Windows 7 copy process and saw 16MB/s - then timed it and the numbers tally up.
  
  I just tried CDM on my WHS machine, got some pretty low results in line with the Amazon results.
  
  Tried it again on a Mac and 16MB/s write and 19MB/s read using Black Magic desk bench tool.

  Nice looking drive, pity about the piece of garbage next to it.

  got this from amazon, supplied by mymemory a few days ago for £6.46. was delivered 2 days from ordering.
  
  i've never had any problems from mymemory.
  if i wanted to buy another drive, i'd have no hesitation about buying from them again, even if they were 13p more expensive. what exactly would i be able to buy with the 13p that i would have saved, i wonder? (_;)
  
  to be honest, there seem to be so many similarly priced deals for this drive at the moment, you have to wonder if they are 'deals', or has this become the normal price for them.
