 Kingston DT200 64G USB Oct 29, 2009
By V. Rooney
I own two of these keys and have had to send both of them back to Kingston for replacement due to failure related to the connection between the PCB and the metal shoe.
I'm not rough with my devices and take care in handling them since I depend on them for my work.
There is not enough support on the metal connector internally to handle the insert and extraction forces from plugging into the USB port. The device is very fragile. If you choose to own one, purchase a USB extension cable to use with it, to prevent stress on the connector causing a loose connection and failure of the device. The slide cover that slips over the connector also tends to slip back and forth when you don't want it to.
This key needs a better case design for the money that you spend on it. The Sandisk Cruzer Contour case is a much better design for this format.
Would I buy another one? No, it has already cost me more than it's worth in time and aggravation due to the failures and loss of data.

 POOR Reliability Feb 22, 2010
By NY Dude
I second the review by V. Rooney. Product has lots of memory but it does you no good if the device fails.
Mine failed within the first week. They offered to replace it but seemed to act like this happens all the time and is no big deal. When I told them there's important data on the drive that I couldn't get to, the response pretty much amounted to, "Well, these things happen. No one's perfect." Now to get my money back I have to send this thing back with personal data on it, which someone may or may not be able to access.
Don't buy this device. I'm now using the Corsair Survivor Flash Drive. Much better!

This item turned out to be a fake. Apr 08, 2010
By S. Ray
I called the Kingston folks to let them know the product did not function properly when I tried to down-load information to it. Some of the files were corrupt when I tried to use them...just simple word documents. In fact,this thing is so unreliable that I will not put information on it. The Kingston folks were nice and said they would honor the five year warranty. They asked me to find the serial number on the part of the device that fit into the USB port...there was no serial number. I was told that the lack of serial number indicated a fake device though it came in an authentic looking package indicating made in America. I will not buy a similar device through Amazon! Buyer Beware!!!

Beware: selling counterfeit Kingston 64GB Flash Drive. Mar 29, 2010
By T. van Haarlem
I bought this 64GB flash drive from ohan0101. It crashed every time I tried downloading files. After contacting Kingston, it appeared the product is a counterfeit! Evidence is absence of a serial number on the metal USB connector. I contacted the seller and received no response. I have now filed a claim with Amazon for reimbursement. More research revealed several reports of these fake drives being sold, also on Amazon. They should be more diligent about keeping out sellers offering fake products.

Bulky and poorly designed Dec 18, 2009
By bool
It may work for some, if you are a light user and keep the drive in your drawer and use it with one computer. Myself, I carry around my data to work and school, I hook it up to multiple systems. The drive failed to be recognized about 50% of the time. The reason: poor design. The drive is heavy and the section that attached to the USB is brittle, you can easily flick it with your finger back and forth. I contacted Kingston, they said they would send me a replacement but warned that it would not be any different and that they were aware of the problem.
