Kingston DataTraveller SE9, another +1 from me robust little buggers

I've got one of these on my house keys just in case it's ever needed... it's great can't even tell it's there.

Another vote for the SE9 here as well. Pretty cheap and very robust.

Bit of a necro post here but a lot of the reviews for the SE9 complain about the speed. I like the look of the anchor ring but don't like the reviews of the speed. Any other alternatives?

I am in the same position, and while I like the SE9, I prefer the idea of the Integral Tag drive. USB3 and 64GB max. capacity. Biggest plus is that it can be removed from key ring easily when needed and durable enough to stay on all the time (which is a problem with many others).

This is perfect for me, thanks for bringing it up.

Another vote for the Kingston DataTraveller SE9, nice and small. Never gets in the way of my keys.

Avoid the corsair survivor.
never had one last longer than 6 months. Had 4 RMAs with then now.
I now use the Kingston in other peeps posts.

I have a 64gb kingston datatraveller mini usb3. Looks a bit battered but its the perfect size for me.

Yes, I'm afraid they are quite sluggish, I've yet to find a similarly durable looking drive that's nice and nippy.

I have a metal one that OcUK sent me free for messing up an order once. It's by Kingston and has been washed before too and still works:

Tough buggers those are and small enough to not be a hassle on keys.

I have a Patriot LifeStyle Tab. 32GB, USB3.0, metal housing, nice and fast.

It's never let me down.
