So far Kingston never produce any model of DataTraveler flash drive in 8GB
capacity. Detail please see below:
http://www.kingston.com/flash/datatraveler_home.asp

The photo attached on the forum was fake. The outside packaging shown it
was KUSB/8G (we only have upto 256MB for this series model) but the casing
design was DTI/xxx version.

Hereby is the verification website, every data traveller outside packaging
will have their own SN # and AC (or LK) number for the verification
purpose. Detail pls see below:

We do have customer wrote to us on the problem they encounterred after
using 8G fake pen drive, hereby is a few common symptom found:
-Windows XP recognises KUSBDTI/8gb Data Traveller USB Flas Drive but will
not open.
-I have just bought a 8 Gb Kingston flash Memory.It has worked fine but it
has now a very strange behaviour.
Whenever I plug in the device it says "insert disk in the player"
-Two weeks ago I bought  usb flash drive of 8 giga in china.Every thing was
ok I saved picture on it and use it,but suddenly all the data "gone" and
when I double click on it it's written"please insert a disk"
-I purchase 4 memory flash in China, non of them works.
KUSBDTI/8GB

- How are you?my name is amr elkilany?,i am living in cairo,?egypt. i have
a problem concerning a kingston flash memory,data travler 8GB,i have got
more than 35 kingston flash memory from dubai they are all 8gb,and they are
all stop working after only one use.They are all read 0 bytes

Purchase fake part will have risk on the functionality and there will not
be any way to get warranty, all these should take into consideration.

In checking the capacity, we would suggest you reformat the pendrive fast
and right click to the pen drive disk drive, to check the property, and
look for the capacity.

Again, thanks for your valuable information.
