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

Some of my projects require transferring a large amount of data, and my 32GB flash drives were no longer keeping up. Ive always had good luck with Kingston so I didnt hesitate to order (both a 64GB and 128GB version). I only wished I would have read the other reviews before doing so. I had to transfer about 80GB of data so I plugged the drive into my Mac Pro. The machine recognized it, although it took a good 5-10 seconds before it appeared in the list of drives. I started the transfer and after reviewing the files told me it would take about a day to transfer. Ha - ok, Ill let it run overnight. Looked at it the next morning and it was still going! No joke. I had to do a repeat of the transfer and this time grabbed a small external USB 3.0 256GB SSD hard drive. I plugged it in and the computer saw it immediately. I started the transfer and it told me it would take about 40 minutes. I dont have the exact time that it took because I stepped away. But it was less than that. The speed with this flash drive is not what Im used to with other USB 3 devices. Im glad I didnt spend much on them because they will probably be put in the drawer and forgotten about!

So glad I bought this. Big storage and very fast loading and using. Thank you!

It gets the job done, but it’s a bit on the big side when compared to some other options. The sliding mechanism is not very smooth, but it works. Good price for the amount of memory though.

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.

Very good product

out of the 128 gb they offer, it happens to have only 114gb. Does it happen to any of you? that would be the only observation about this product.

This style always works.

I have two of these. They work fine under Win 7, Win 10 and Ubuntu 18. But are extremely slow under FreeBSD 11.3+ and systems build on FreeBSD 11.3+ core (like FreeNAS), as it has different USB driver not fully compatible to Kingston DataTraveler sticks. Same issue is claimed by other owners of Kingston DataTraveler on FreeBSD and FreeNAS forums.

does its job.

Dejé de usarla por uno meses y se dañó solita.
