It combines speed and security for a seamless data storage experience.The USB 3.2 Gen 1 technology ensures rapid data transfer, making it a breeze to move large files and documents. Whether I'm backing up important files or transferring multimedia content, the Kingston DataTraveler delivers impressive speed, saving me valuable time in the process.The sleek and durable metal casing not only gives it a premium look but also provides robust protection for my data. Its compact design makes it easy to carry in my pocket or attach to a keychain, ensuring that my files are always within reach when I need them.I appreciate the thought Kingston has put into security features. The drive supports password protection, giving me peace of mind knowing that my sensitive data is safeguarded against unauthorized access. This additional layer of security adds tremendous value, especially for those dealing with confidential information.The plug-and-play functionality is another standout feature. It works seamlessly with various devices, from laptops to smart TVs, without the need for any additional software installation. It's a true plug-and-play experience, which is perfect for users who want a hassle-free storage solution. It is also recommended by MSI to be used to Flash BIOS, which is originally what I purchased it for, although after realising how great of a flash drive it is, I now bring it everywhere with me.Will be interesting to find out how long it lasts before it begins to fail, being a capless design, dust and debris may get trapped within the USB port, although time will tell.In conclusion, the Kingston DataTraveler Kyson USB 3.2 Gen 1 Flash Drive is a reliable and high-performing storage solution. Whether you're a student, professional, or anyone in need of swift and secure data transfer, this flash drive is a fantastic choice. Kingston has once again delivered a product that combines speed, durability, and security, making it an essential tool in my daily tech toolkit. Highly recommended!

5.0 out of 5 stars Kingston USB

I've had this USB for some time now and use it everyday. I like how small and sleek it is and it offers good value for money. It works well and doesn't malfunction unlike some I've had in the past, so is very reliable and durable.

4.0 out of 5 stars Cheap, but very slow write performance

This review is for a Kingston Kyson 64GB USB stick, priced at under £7 delivered.Supplied in a retail packet, it is of a metal construction, although the metal is quite flimsy, unlike some others of a similar design I own. I doubt this would stand up to too much abuse, such as getting crushed in a tight laptop bag.Tested in a Windows 11 PC and a M4 based Mac, no issues were encountered from a compatibility point of view, and it comes preformatted with FAT32, so easily read by either OS without reformatting. After formatting, capacity is approx 57GB, and H2testw proved the capacity is genuine.My only slight disappointment is the write speeds are quite slow, under 20MBytes/s, nowhere near the claimed 60MB/s. Read speeds nearly matched the claimed 200MB/s at 186MB/s.Given the competitive price for a big brand 64GB stick, I think it offers good value, despite the slow write.

5.0 out of 5 stars Good price for the size and speed

I've bought 2 of these recently, 1 for general use and 1 to go in my Blink Sync2 Module to provide local usb storage for my blink cameras.As a lot of users have done, I ran a CrystalDiskMark on it. This was only done on 1 out of the 2 I bought and was done twice, after a quick formats with 64KB and 128KB allocation unit sizes. Write-caching is disabled for quick removal by default on my machine. Slightly higher sequential read speeds with the 64KB size, but otherwise, not really much difference. Certainly not enough to affect general everyday use for me.I haven't noticed either getting particularly hot, but being an exposed metal case would help with any heat dissipation needed.Overall, a good sized USB 3.2 Gen 1 with a nice balance between capacity, speed and price. I can certainly see me getting more of these (at various capacities as needed) for myself and family and recommending to friends.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great pen drive

Great pen drive/ flash drive/ thumb drive whatever you call it... Very high quality from Kingston it's my windows recovery disk and it does a very very good job.... Very easy to use great transfer speeds... You don't get 128GB because you need to account for the partitioning system on it and it's firmware so it's storage capacity is just under 128GB but it's very very close

Good

Cheap and reliable

I've had these drives for a while and they are honestly amazing. Quick for installing an operating system from (if you do that often) and reliable for anything you throw at them. Also nice build (although the tolerances could've been tighter; the lanyard hook wobbles a bit.

Just Right Size

I like using the Kingston USB Flash Drives because of their reliability, never had any trouble with data for years. I also like their thin profile, being thin allows me to use them in anything, as being a gamer a lot of people will know that trying to plug a USB into the front of a PS4 it just does not work, you have to pull out your console and plug the USB into the back USB slot. However, with Kingston you do not have to worry about that, as these will plug into tight spaces, and the front of a PS4.There was a local store that carried these in various sizes, I would buy them there, but now they switched their entire USB selection to another Brand Name USB Flash Drive of which I know does not fit into the front of a PS4, so now Bolo will have my business.

As described. Works.
