Kingston DataTraveler Mini Slim Review

In todays improving world, when the files are getting bigger and bigger in size, you need to transfer big amounts of data. Imagine that you’ve just downloaded a cool new movie and you want to go to friends place and see it but you don’t have any DVD/Bluray disc at hand? That’s when memory sticks come handy, just plug it into your computer, get your data on the drive, and carry the data with you. Why waste money on discs when a flash drive can do the same?
Kingston DataTraveler Mini Slim is one of those cool little sticks that helps you carry your files with you. It really deserves it’s name, Mini Slim, because it’s very-very tiny. They’ve removed the pin that’s used to protect the jack from electromagnetic waves which helps it to maintain it’s size. As it is so small they’ve also added a hole at the top so you could attach it to your keys without worrying where it is ’cause it could get easily lost in your pockets.
With delivering you the data transfer rates of 14,8 Mb/s read and 7 Mb/s write speeds it scores average and you should be able to play a film directly from the drive (except when it’s HD). For getting the smaller files off the stick the burst rate is boosted to 23Mb/s.
Overall it performs good and the price tag isn’t too high either as the other 16GB sticks cost about the same amount, some are more expensive, some are cheaper. It’s really small and fits everywhere so if you’re up to buying a memory stick then consider that as an option! I’d also like to thank Kingston for this chance to review one of they’re products. :)
