amazon Kingston DataTraveler 109 reviews
Design Styles
As mentioned above, the Kingston DataTraveler 109 create new design highlights the DataTraveler line. Is 3-dimensional size: 39.00mm x 12.35mm x 4.55mm, less than DataTraveler 108 (previous smallest model of this line).
Talking a little bit about the design of the Kingston DataTraveler Micro 109. Compared to many other products on the market, the Kingston USB equivalent in width, but has not yet reached the lowest thickness. By removing the casing surrounding the USB connector, the following products: Transcend JF T3, DATA C902 … only equal 1/2 thin section Kingston DataTraveler 109. But this shell has two disadvantages: firstly, users easy USB plug into the computer the wrong direction, the second of unprotected exposure possible. On the contrary, such a slim design helps you insert the USB into the wallet (or similar place) easily, something we hardly done with Kingston DataTraveler 109.
However, I still believe that only small design according to Kingston DataTraveler 109’s width was more than enough to satisfy. Obviously, this is the need for people who own laptops have two USB ports are too close together arranged.
In addition, a compact USB products, do not use the cap, with large wire eyelet well suited to “couple” with mobile products such as tablets, phones, fitted with padlock beam … except Score largest in Kingston DataTraveler 109’s design is the plastic shell to create trust not the best for reliability.
Integrated software
UrDrive software package is a worthwhile additional features. urDrive start immediately after the first click of the mouse, take you to the console includes large icons, this is the software you are provided. The most prominent of these can mention the antivirus software Norton PC Checkup, Maxthon 3 web browser, app marketplaces urAppZone. Below the window is column free space notifications and icons for quick access to the features in the USB file manager.
But offered only the applications listed above have relatively good quality. Web browsers such as Maxthon 3 external smart interface, tabbed browsing … are integrated video and mp3 downloader (download sites like Youtube ……). If desired, you can also sync list your bookmarks with your computer at home easily.
Market urAppZone application offers some free games and software for download. However, the manufacturer requests to conduct a normal installation can use this content. In addition, applications built vDrive allows users to create free 6GB storage “in the cloud”. The only requirement to access this database is an internet connection.
Overall, a very good investment for Kingston application package urDrive both quantity and quality of applications, other than the 1.2 software bundled separately as before. Apparently the manufacturer wanted to create maximum convenience for customers in case of information processing, data access on “strange machine”.

Real test
Kingston DataTraveler 109 is sold with two 8GB and 16GB capacities, preformatted in FAT32. At 8GB version tested, Windows 7 received 7,2GB free memory on product.
To test the read speed of the product record, we used the 4 benchmark software: HD Tune Pro, HD Tach, Crystal DiskMark and ATTO Disk Benchmark. The last test is to measure the actual time Copy 2 the folder with the same capacity 1,26GB (1 folder 460 image file * .jpeg, remaining folders video files * .mkv). Testing process using a USB 2.0 port on the Toshiba Satellite L645 laptop (managed USB 2.0 via chipset Intel HM55 Express).
Results from 4 benchmark software shows an average speed of Kingston DataTraveler 109 at (approximately) 21MB / sec (read) and 10MB / sec (write). HD Tune Pro charts from HD Tach and also shows that this rate is maintained relatively stable during the testing process. In addition, the HD Tune Pro message “Access time” Kingston DataTraveler 109 only 0,799ms. The figure is impressive, allowing you to use good solution operating system on a USB (install the operating system and boot directly from USB).
Real test of course is not the same with all benchmarks. At trial copy folders from the computer USB speed of up to 24MB / sec (copy 1 files) and 23MB / sec (copy 460 file). Meanwhile, the copied folder from your PC to the USB speeds can only be maintained at around 7 MB / sec.
Overall, with a storage product using a USB 2.0 port, under 16GB of storage, fast read / write measured above is not bad.
After the test, the Kingston DataTraveler 109 temperature slightly higher than the original. However, due to the small USB design, Flash chips in direct contact with the outer shell so users always feel this change easier on other products. Kingston said his USB drive works fine in the range of 0-60 ° C, so you do not need too worry.
