Kingston 32GB 100 G3 USB 3.0 DataTraveler (DT100G3/32GB) Black

These days I dont think much about USB drives, though I seem to use them a lot. Usually I buy whats cheapest and go for small stuff (I never need more than 8 GB). But this time I decided to buy something faster. These Kingston DataTravelers are 32 GB, so there is at least 24 GB that will never be used. But the good thing is that they are really, really fast. Much faster than what Im used to. And they were cheap. These cost only a very small amount more than the cheapest usb drives you can get, but they are way faster and larger. I definitely recommend them. The build is also good quality, but thats pretty much standard these days.

Love this product.

Use this for Linux and works like a charm. I have another for word documents and I use it often and hasnt given me a single issue yet. Great product.

Benchmark: Write speed avg 13.7 MB/s

Not a bad drive, but there are faster drives.

I purchased a handful of these to give to family and friends for Christmas, and filled them with personally curated photos, songs or ebooks that I thought they would each like. It was the perfect little gift that they could reuse and carry and bring anywhere. There is a slot to either place a keyring or string wristlet which attaches to the drive, but it doesnt come with any keyring or wristlet, so youd have to purchase these separately. To open or close, simply slide the cap up or down and it will reveal or hide the USB connector. This is made of plastic on the outside so durability is not the same as those made from metal and Im not sure how waterproof (if at all) these may be. Copy speed was OK/average, even with a 3.0 connection. Price point was good and storage capacity was enough to hold my files and still provide some room for additional use/storage.

I am not specific on speeds and such so I just look at these as a do they work for me. I have not had any problems with Kingston drives and they many times are better priced.

Its cheap, fast, and reliable, as well as being a very stylish addition to my keychain. I continue to be a fan of Kingston products after experiencing the reliability of their memory in my first computer build, still running strong since 2008.

Speed test using Blackmagic Disk Speed Test on a mac without reformatting. 1gb Stress Test: 22.4 MB/s (write) 109.1 MB/s (read) 5gb Stress Test: 20 MB/s (write) 109.7 MB/s (read) Bought this to backup Windows laptop OS and Recovery Drive which is a bit of an overkill.

I Like And Use Name brand Flash Drives. And this one seams to do the job just fine.
