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

The drive its self seems fine at the moment. but the packing was opened.

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.

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 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.

I got this flash drive so I could download my music it great

Clouds, Smouds... I have all my photos going back 60 years stored on one of two of these memory sticks. I keep one in the safe deposit box and swap them with an updated version every 3 or 4 months. The Kingston Digital 64GB is fast and I like the built in cap. Im not sure I have the same security and peace of mind with a cloud. I was unable to use Amazons cloud as they wanted to put all 60 years of photos in ONE directory. I use directories to sort by year and month.

Certain types of files will take a while. Its not a fast drive. But I bought it so that I could transfer folders between computers. So it does the job. However, its as slow as a USB 2.0 drive.

Holds a lot of data, well maybe not by todays standards, but more than enough to make transfering data from one PC to another a lot easier. Have had no problems with this. I have used Kingston memeory and USB drives for years now and they are a trusted brand for me.

Its a USB stick - cant REALLY get all that woo-hoo excited over it - it works - its plug & play for Win7 & Win8 vms which I run on my Mac Mini & MacBook Pro via Virtual Box - seemed to have no issues what so every on my work desktop PC which is a Dell Opti & oh ya - works also on my work Dell Precision laptop - so - cant really say anything bad about it - works on the Macs I have & my work PCs ... so ... what more could you ask ???

Unfortunately, I have to agree with the reviews that state this drive is just too slow to write. The text USB 3.0 speeds in the product description must be considered false advertising. Im getting between 2 and 8 MB per second in a USB3 port. That doesnt even approach a USB2 equivalent speed. Its not like this is my only flash drive; I know how quickly the data should be transferring with this hardware. (Surely Kingston didnt think we wouldnt notice...?) As others have shown with their metrics, this drive is just painfully slow. At least it was cheap, I guess. And eventually, it holds the data you put on it. So its semi-useful... as long as youre not waiting for it to finish writing before you can move on with your next task. Would not buy again.
