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

Speed test using Blackmagic Disk Speed Test on a mac without reformatting. 1gb Stress Test: 22.4 MB/s (write) 109.1 MB/s (read) 5gb Stress Test: 20 MB/s (write) 109.7 MB/s (read) Bought this to backup Windows laptop OS and Recovery Drive which is a bit of an overkill.

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.

good

Not the fastest you can get. Im getting 16 mb/s of write speed and I think there are other products that can go as fast as 60mb/s. Wish I have researched some more before buying this one, but it is just fine if you dont care a lot about speed.

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.

I got this based off of a YouTube review and it worked just fine. No fault of Kingston but Tesla put out an update in July 2019 and it wont put any recording on it anymore because USB Drive is too slow to save. The 32GB one I got costs less than $6.00 so I doesnt bother me THAT MUCH.

Bought it for a friend, says sometimes it takes a while for the computer to read the flash drive but in general it fine .

This drive perform well if it format with FAT or Linux EXT4 For some reason it is very slow when it formatted with Mac OS extended format. It will take a long time to mount/remount or access files and transfer rate is down to 1/4 of speed.

I’m getting around 60mb per sec. no cap design is pretty good as well. Highly recommended !

Love this product.
