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

the geek in me wanted to go bigger, because why not. but the realist in me said no, because id never need it. didnt even need one this big, but it was a great price, and you never know IF youll need it. so its nice having a large one around just in case.

I use this drive to relocate files that are larger than 4 GB so I Changed storage to the NTFS file system. Sometimes it copies slow but this happens based on the file type and size. The speed is not a problem for me.

I might have given this a 5 Star rating if not for following conditions. Its not near as fast as is claimed HOWEVER thats probably because of the Dell Im using. I installed an internal USB 3 PCI-E card in my Dell Optiplex 780 Mini Tower. It may very well be that that the system bus or the card I used is the bottleneck here. Im not tech savvy enough to give you guys a real answer on this. Still, it IS faster than USB 2 thats for sure. Add-On review: As of 06/25/2018 I have come to the conclusion that this would be a very good USB 2 flash drive, but NOT a good USB 3 flash drive. I should have been more critical of it when i first purchased it so I could get my money back. Too late now. Shame on Kingston for releasing this product as labeled. This is the LASt Kingston product I ever buy.

Durable Flash Drive. Never had a bad superblock.

A well-made product. Plastic is tough. It slides very well when opening and closing. It has the typical blue color of USB 3.0 inside. Excellent product, 100% recommended. Later I will see the speed of writing and reading data.

Its laughable to think they can call this usb 3.0, more like 3.slow . 11 min to transfer a 30 mb folder, really ? By comparison I tried to transfer the same folder to a 2.0 drive, it took 20 second. The read speed isnt any better. Select to preview, you get the spinning beachball for 10 second then the file shows up. About the only thing good about this is its storage size. Do yourself a favor and pay a bit more for one that actually does what it says.

I bought 4 of these, 2 8GB, and 2 16GB so I could send movies, music, etc. to my Ex. They work great, I havent tested the read/write speed, but it seems reasonably quick to me. They get used on a Chromebook with no internet access, and it serves the purpose for both of us, she gets to watch and listen to her movies and music with an ease of use with no internet access, they get mailed back and forth, and beats burning CDs/DVDs. The 5 year warranty with the Kingston name sold me, and I havent been disappointed, and they get treated a little rough.

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.

It is used as a storage drive. I mostly transfer files from my phone and laptop to keep them bloated free.

does its job.
