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

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

I wasnt paying enough attention to the fact that this drive didnt have a light on it so, if thats important to you, pick another one. However, besides that, its working just fine for me. Im currently using it as a drive containing all the system repair tools and OS install .iso files that I could ever need.

This USB drive is an excellent value. You dont have to worry about losing the cap as an attached sleeve slides over the USB connector when not in use. Additionally, the drivers install quickly and easily. However, you may not want to use this drive to create a bootable copy of Windows 7. I discoverd during while reformatting my computer that there is an issue unique to Kingston DataTravelers that causes a driver error when attempting to install Windows 7. There is a work-around that involves unplugging the flash drive during installation, but I would recommend looking for a different brand if you want to create a bootable USB.

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.

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

I see a lot of complaints here about how slow this stick is. For me on my USB 2.0 desktop machines and TVs, its plenty fast and just as fast as the others in read mode. Its really small size and flip/click open/close with no end cap is a real bonus on this. The lettering on it does not stand out either like on other Kingston sticks. I like how it cannot really be seen on the side panel on my Samsung HD TV. I also find those usb external hard drives go bad quick and now use this stick also as a 64GB external hard drive. Gonna buy more!

I must say Im a bit disappointed with this drive. The price was very reasonable and amazing for a 3.0 drive, but upon benchmarking the drive, I discovered that the write speed was that of a typical USB 2.0 drive. Read speeds are similar to my other 3.0 drives, though. I would recommend it for someone that reads a lot of files, but dont look for quick file transfers to the device.

Does exactly what you expect it to do. Just pull back the cover, insert the tip into the slot, and it’s fast, but steady. Feels a bit cheap and flimsy, especially noticeable when sliding back the cover, as it is made completely of plastic; but for this price point, you really can’t complain about that. Another quirk that I noticed is, you need to pull back the cover all the way (until you feel a slight click), or else the tip doesn’t go all the way in , and your computer will not be satisfied and will not read the stick. I purchased it more for the function. Needed a 64gb stick for work and it deployed an image out to over 3,000 laptops, no issues. Literally, in & out, in & out, until I finished.

I wish I would have read the comments as I had only considered the price and the capacity. This drive is very slow, so slow that I had to verify the capacity with H2testw to verify that this wasnt an old counterfeit item. The test wrote to the drive at 30Mb/s or about 3 times faster than the USB 1.1 standard (about 6% of USB 2.0). It took OVER TWO HOURS to write 64MB to this drive, and the test passed.
