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

Got what I wxpected

I was happy with the items.

I recently built my new gaming computer and needed a way to install a new copy of windows. The price is unbelievable for the amount of space you get, it looks amazing, very small, easy to carry around. and the speeds are great. I was able to do the windows usb install very quickly. Trust Kingston and get this product while it lasts.

The only reason I am writing this is I saw a post from a Kingston rep on amazon saying that the failure of multiple drives is not normally a problem.in the feedback on this page: http://www.amazon.com/Kingston-Digital-64GB-Traveler-Flash/dp/B00G9WHMYK/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1424750834&sr=8-1&keywords=kingston+flash+drive+64gb I use a lot of flash drives and a lot of them fail. Kingston low end drives are very fail prone although there expensive hyper-x drives are much less so. Kingston customer service also sucks. I tried a RMA with them for the first batch of failed drives (thankfully they came from amazon and amazon would back their product even if Kingston will not) and they wanted me to get them the receipt O.K. did that. They want you to read the microengraving of the numbers that happen to be right where the drives scratch if you use them. These came from amazon in original packing and kingston just gives you the run around. excuse after excuse. Amazon stands behind their product though even if Kingston will not. Do not use these for must have data.

Just love this Kingston 32GB USB 3.0 flashdrive. I own several flashdrives and all but one are Kingston drives. Ive never had a single one fail on me yet. This USB 3.0 is very fast and the low price made it a great deal overall.

I purchased this because it was on sale, and I wanted to have another usb stick for OS installs. However, when flashing a boot ISO to the drive, it ran so slow that I gave up completely, used an older computer with an older flash drive, redownloaded the Linux ISO, and wrote it to the bootable USB drive all before this one had even reached 20% completion... The thing was cheap but not worth it at all.

I use it every day for my Xbox and my PS4 great amount of storage easy to connect

Price keeps going down and this is a great value. Recorded large amount of files for mailing to family and it wrote with no problem. Not much different than what I used before but I am happy at the size and value.

This USB stick is very durable! It got immerged in water, fell in sand in front of the house for two days and it still works well! I cleaned it with alcohol and it’s fine, I would recommend this stick to everyone!!

Recently (about 1 month) I bought 8 Kingston Digital 100 DataTraveler (DT100G3). Four 64GB units and four 32GB units. When the flash-drives arrived I tested them. This is what happened: 64GB Units. Their random write speeds tested well below 1 MB/s. This does not even measure up to USB 1.1 standards. The speeds I measured where a cool 1000 times slower than the theoretical max. for USB 3.0. So I returned the units and asked for replacements [just in case I had bad luck with a bad lot]. When the replacement units arrived, I tested them again. More or less the same result. This time I returned them for good, no replacements! The things were garbage. 32GB units. These ones measured at about 10 MB/s for random write. OK, not USB 3.0, but a decent number for USB 2.0 Silly me, I decided to keep them. Well, turns out that using them has rapidly degraded their speed. Now they are doing Ramdom writes at about 1/2 MB/s; below USB 1.1 standards. Useless garbage. If this sort of experience had happened with just one unit, I could chalk it up to bad luck getting a lemon. But 12 units, everyone of them performing at dismal speeds? This is just a really bad product.
