Small defects still ...

I bought this key to install "Debian Live" and so to take my favorite Linux distribution everywhere with me. Besides the 8GB capacity allowed me to create a second partition for my data and thus maintain the functionality of a key "traditional".

In this role, she has perfectly fulfilled its mission. Certainly, for this use, the performances have nothing to do with a hard drive. But remain honest to a USB key.

Unfortunately, these qualities seem spoiled by a little "cheap" design:
* The plastic is of poor quality;
* The LED indicating the activity is only visible in transparency through the hull (under the Kingston logo) and is difficult to discern according to the ambient lighting conditions;
* The zipper that allows the key to retract easily slipped at the start and takes the game after a few uses;
* Even retracted, there is no protection for the USB connector. Who becomes an effective catcher while if you go out and about with this key in your pocket, or if you just leave it lying at the bottom of your bag.

In the end, unless you want an absolutely key "uncapped", when looking around, you can choose other faster models, better finished and cheaper. Personally I much more appreciate the Transcend - Jet Flash 300 8 GB, but this is perhaps only a matter of taste ...
