Kingston 128GB DataTraveler 100 G3 USB 3.0 100MB/s Read, 10MB/s Write (DT100G3/128GB)

Gotthese to put operating systems on so I could try them out before I picked one, and to show my father-in-law the better OSs. These are great for this sort of use. After I will use them for pictures, etc on trips. I would say that Kingston is a good name brand and they have never let me down in the past.

I purchased this for my son to use on his computer for game/other storage. Kingston advertises that this USB has 64GB of storage. But, when he ran a test on it, it only shows 57GB available storage. I understand that a small amount, maybe 1-2GB, might be used for various things by Kingston. But, to use up 7GB of storage on this device is too much. If you advertise 64GB, it should actually have 64GB available storage. This USB works fine as it comes, for storing individual files under 4GB, without having to make any changes in settings. My son had to use Windows command run prompt, to change to NTFS, in order to store individual files that are over 4GB. If a file is over 4GB, the formatting of the USB won’t allow it to be stored, unless you make these changes in settings. The writing speed is fairly fast. He said it reached up to 24.9MBS. Has place on one end to hook to chain or key ring.

Esta marca siempre me ha brindado memorias de gran calidad, super recomendadas

I bought this looking for a basic USB 3.0 thumbdrive and what I got was a device slower than my old USB 2.0 devices I already have. It is marketed as COMPATIBLE with USB 3.0 but every USB stick is compatible. It has all the pins for 3.0 but the internal flash memory reads and writes at speeds slower than my old 2.0 drives I have lying around. I expected better from a Kingston product. It was cheap is the best feature

I know these are to be cheap drives, so for $4 i cant complain too much, but these guys are SLOW on writes, saying these are usb 3.0 drives is a joke, as they arent even usb 2.0 speed limited. if you plan to write to these guys once and then only read from them, i guess they aint too bad, but its gonna take ~30 mins to write that 16gb to it.

Well, the first one I got was defective. When it was plugged into my Win PC, it caused disk management to lock up every time it was opened. On my Mac, the drive wouldnt even format. Amazon is shipping me another. When that one arrives, if it functions better than the first, Ill update this review. Update: Got the replacement from Amazon (not in short order, mind you) and the new drive works flawlessly. I was able to install Win10 on my newly built rig in about fifteen minutes and the drive doesnt get as hot as some others Ive used. If you can avoid the defective ones, its nifty little drive.

works fine

USB drive says 128 Gb on it but the computer says it 31.9 Gb. I just now checked the capacity and realize its less than what I purchased and not happy

TO BACK UP MY COMPUTER FILES

Bought 7 of these for various use purposes e.g. OS installer/booter, run ESXi, live OS, etc... Solid product worked as expected on Windows and Mac, priced right, recommended!!! Tested read speed 124MBps, write between 19MBps to 24MBps. It took approximately 10 minutes copied 13GB file onto USB stick. Copied from USB stick to Windows desktop took less than 2 minutes.
