The Imaging Resource at PMA 2007: Kingston Data Traveler

[SpiderMann3]

Don't buy flash drives from eBay. Especially the 8GB model. Some sellers are selling counterfeit memory.

Sellers say there is a warranty, but if they are not an authorized dealer, you will get no warranty. Authorized re-sellers are retail stores like Best Buy and Wal Mart.

Watch out for counterfeit DT100 on eBay.

Authentic DT100 will have an engraved model and serial number on the metal USB jack and come in a sealed package that you need scissors to open. Look in "My Computer" real DataTravelers will be labeled "Kingston"

The fakes will work with small files, so you must test the flash drive by loading it up to near full capacity. Check if all files are readable. If the files get corrupt, your DT100 is counterfeit! Fakes are slow and freeze your PC.
