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

I bought this 64GB USB drive to back-up my back-up of photos since you can never have too many back-ups of those precious pics... so, in terms of value and capacity, it is great. However, it is a little larger than typical USBs and it wouldnt fit next to my wireless mouse receiver, or next to the input from my external HD when plugged in, so I ended up buying a USB C to USB receiver (see the second pic) so that I could use the USB C drive on my laptop (my laptop has only 2 USB As and 1 USB C). Im transferring pics as I type this from my external HD to the USB at a rate of about 15 MB/s so backing up 50GB of pics is going to take hours, but it works, its cheap and it gives me some peace of mind. Im deducting 1 star because the case is a bit large, but overall a great value. Just keep in mind that it could be a tight fit if most of your USB ports are already in use. So far so good and I would buy it again.

Yes easy to use, do have space great product. Would recommend to buy

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.

Average sized thumbdrive. Speed tests are what you would expect for USB3.0 Its not the smallest in size or biggest in capacity but more than enough to get the job done. Especially at the $6-$7 price point. An excellent deal if your looking to replace or add another USB to your collection.

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.

These drives are unreliable. I bought two to supplement my Sandisk Extreme drives which are pricey. I just wanted to have a couple of drives for booting computers - low writes, lots of reads. They are so poorly implemented that they cant even handle that! Yes, the performance is mediocre - not what I bought them for. The problem seems to be that a decent fraction of the time they will disconnect during heavy reading or writing - which means file corruption and serious problems. Other times, they arent recognized at all on some systems. The problem seems to be with USB 3 mode, but I think they sometimes have issues in any mode. I had a problem getting modern macbook pros (USB 3) to boot off of them at all (where the identical image on a sandisk extreme worked 100%). I have had problems on an Acer with USB 3 ports as well. Ill plug it in and wait, and nothing happens. In linux ill check the logs, and sometimes theres nothing at all, other times Ill get a bunch of errors in dmesg. I have never had this kind of problem before. Ill plug it into a legacy USB 2 port, and poof, it mounts! After 30 seconds, it fails to mount the device. I just plugged one in my USB3 port now, heres what I got: [13745.997136] usb 4-2: new SuperSpeed USB device number 4 using xhci_hcd [13746.029889] usb 4-2: New USB device found, idVendor=0951, idProduct=1666 [13746.029896] usb 4-2: New USB device strings: Mfr=1, Product=2, SerialNumber=3 [13746.029900] usb 4-2: Product: DataTraveler 3.0 [13746.029903] usb 4-2: Manufacturer: Kingston [13746.029906] usb 4-2: SerialNumber: 60A44C3FAD9EBE91698E0092 [13746.030551] usb-storage 4-2:1.0: USB Mass Storage device detected [13746.030716] scsi8 : usb-storage 4-2:1.0 [13767.958162] usb 4-2: reset SuperSpeed USB device number 4 using xhci_hcd [13772.976227] usb 4-2: device descriptor read/8, error -110 [13773.080179] usb 4-2: reset SuperSpeed USB device number 4 using xhci_hcd [13778.098299] usb 4-2: device descriptor read/8, error -110 [13778.258675] usb 4-2: USB disconnect, device number 4 [13778.259476] xhci_hcd 0000:00:14.0: xHCI xhci_drop_endpoint called with disabled ep ffff8802ea172300 [13778.259487] xhci_hcd 0000:00:14.0: xHCI xhci_drop_endpoint called with disabled ep ffff8802ea172348 Same device, in the USB 2 port and it mounts in 2 seconds.

The only complaint I have, and its probably true about most Kingston & PNY and probably other flash sticks, they are VERY SLOW to write, even when in 2.0 compatabilty, drops to about 4mbps, but speedy to read. It serves its purpose, and yes, I will buy it again. I recommend not using for a live OS boot if you expect lots of writes (for swap files, etc), But for storage of files its perfect. Its a tad power hungry on the USB port at 300mw.

where is another 13 GB ? I thought the material is stronger,but also normal.in general,speed is also not very normal, a normal product But I did not understand where 13 GB ?!

Gotthese to put operating systems on so I could try them out before I picked one, and to show my father-in-law the better OSs. These are great for this sort of use. After I will use them for pictures, etc on trips. I would say that Kingston is a good name brand and they have never let me down in the past.

This is a flash drive, and it does what a flash drive is supposed to do. If you are looking for a flash drive with amazing speeds pushing the limits of USB 3.0, I dont think this is the product you should be looking at. For 64gb of storage with USB 3.0 utilization, this little flash drive does everything I need it to. Actually, all three that I purchased work just fine, one use to multiboot numerous operating systems, and it performs without complaint. The other two I use to shuffle files between computers at work as needed.
