the drive does not come to 8G.
How is the space?
Says it's is supposed to be an 8G drive, but my machine says it's only 7.27G.Not happy.And when 'close' is not good enough, this drive does not cut it. I went with a 16G drive from ScanDisk. Hopefully, I'll get more than 8G!++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++Since my post, I was contacted by Kingston and given a very professional reason why the drive does not come to 8G. So, I've modified my rating and yes, I should have realized having worked in the industry for some time (20+ years), that I should have ordered a drive 1 size larger than what I need.Thanks Kingston!++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++Here is Kingston's response:Hello, I'm Jewel with Kingston Technical Support. We apologize for the confusion about the drive. Please understand that some of the listed capacity is used in formatting and other functions, as such would not be available for data storage. I recommend getting a drive one size larger than required, one to make sure the drive has enough space for the intended purpose and two to leave some empty space for the drive to perform at it's best. A drive at full capacity does not typically perform as well as when it is not.
