Come to think about it, I've lost many thumbdrives, all being left there and not unplugged.

This time, I'm gonna get a lanyard and tie it to my bag.
The Contour doesn't seem to have any holes to tie on, so I'm leaning on the Voyager GT, as there's a place to tie something on and it comes with a lanyard as well.

Anyways, I found a review on Kingmax u-drive 16GB, it's in chinese, but I don't know the accuracy of it. With Kingston DT100 doing 14.1MB/s write?

Can this one be trusted? Because, if it's accurate enough, these would be as close to those premium, faster drives at, 'normal' price

Contour comes with a leather pouch ... you can hang ur lanyard on the pouch, but not the unit (i think Sandisk classify Contour as high-end, classy pendrive) ....

Here is the result for my Kingston DataTraveler 100 - 4GB

Any reason the Write speed drops on the bigger file size (>2GB) ?

This is normal when you plug in any USB drive (brand/model) for the first time to your PC.

Normally for first time use, Windows would find the driver it needs and install it without asking the user for additional instructions. This is slightly unusual.

I would allow Windows to go online to Windows Update to try to look for the drivers. If that fails, I'd go to the manufacturer's site to look for the driver. If that fails as well, then maybe the flash drive or Windows is faulty.

yes, Contour is better ... but more expensive ... if performance is what you're looking for (price does not matter), then get Contour wink.gif

yeah, mostly 200++ ... to the seller who sells at RM170, try to contact him/her for more updated price ...

in fact, pm any of the sellers ... some may have not updated the price list *or* it's old price when they stock up their inventory (aka can't go down)...
