Kingston DataTraveler Max - 256GB - USB 3.2 Gen 2 - Flash Drive Type-C - Up to 1,000MB/s Read, 900MB/s Write

Amazing. Very fast. If copying 10s of GBs, could become a bit slow. Better than most usbs.

This is a premium product, made of high quality and very rigid polycarbonate. I use it to backup photos and videos from a smartphone to save space on the device. When connected to my laptop usb 3.2 port the speeds were as advertised. My galaxy ultra phone is ama to copy 30GB of media in under a minute which is amazing, could not have asked for more. Now this usb sick will be in my back when I'm travelling with no worry of taking too much footage on the phone or a camera.

The speed are indeed as advertised (~1000MB/s Read and ~900MB/s Write) used through Thunderbolt4 connector (which is backward compatible to USB 3.2 Gen2, that was advertised on the product's page) — that's highly satisfying! Of course, the storage is again enormous for its money. Not particularly easy to use, though, mainly because my type C ports are located at the back of the laptop, and the drive in itself is long. On the other side, as noted in numerous reviews on amazon, which also resonated with my personal experience of use — the build is awful, like it seems an unreliable piece of plastic, especially with this sliding to-and-fro feature, that can break anytime even with light use. This is what happens with a lot of customers: the drive breaks after 1 year or 1.5 years of infrequent use. Also, it becomes really warm during use, as said by other users, too. So, generally this is exactly what I needed: cheep and cheerful device with high speeds and huge storage, although not the best build. Still, for future I will be investing more money in reliability of a flash drive with my vital data (never use only one storage for all your important information).

fast and solid. I have a usb 3.0 gen 1 port, so I couldn’t hit the full speeds, but it still worked really well. if you’ve got gen 2, this thing will fly. Just returning because I can’t take full advantage of it right now

This is a very good USB if you have a lot of photos or file and you just want quick transfer speeds this USB does the job it is easy to use all while being really small the security is good as well meaning you can protect what’s important but it does get a little hot when transferring a lot of files.

At speeds like that shown on the screenshot, I can live with the stick being a bit long. tested files at 1Gb upto 5GB all with +780 MB/s writes and +950 MB/s reads this was attached to a 2019 iMac via the 40GB/s thunderbolt port. Feels well made and has a understated styling. You get a reassuring click when pushing the USB-C connector all the way out. There is a slot to fit a substantial lanyard if needed. When not in use the connector can be pushed back and protected from damage. The 256GB is a nice size and doesn't unduly compromise space vs price. Only problem now is, all my other USB sticks are going to be way to slow for me lol! Definitely a worthwhile purchase

This has to be the worst usb stick i've used in a long time. Don't expect to be able to drag a large number of files over to it and for it to actually transfer everything. After about 3-4 minutes of transferring it will basically go down to like 0bps and just sit there indefinitely. You have to send in batches for it to even work. It's also getting incredibly hot which I assume is part of the reason for the degradation of performance. Not recommended, get something else.

Nice and quick but failed completely after one and a half years of light infrequent use. Build quality is terrible, flimsy plastic. Returning to Amazon under warranty for full refund to replace with alternative of better build quantity.

👍👍👍

Haalt heel hoge snelheid en houd deze ook aan.

ممتاز

Okay, I did not expect to geek out over a flash drive, but here we are, and wow, this little thing is a total beast. File transfers feel like straight-up sorcery. I dumped a whole folder packed with giant video files and boom, it was done in seconds. No joke. It's crazy fast, super slick, and small enough to slip right into my laptop bag without even noticing. Honestly? Couldn’t be more impressed. Totally worth the price, if not more.

Este es mi tercer dispositivo, asi que quiere decir que estoy muy satisfecho con este producto. Las velocidades de lectura y escritura son como estan descritas. Sin embargo, si la actividad de lectura y escritura es sostenida por algun tiempo, por ejemplo, al hacer la clonacion de un disco, las velocidades empiezan a bajar bastante. Pero como esto es un uso infrecuente en mi caso, entonces es aceptable. La forma rectangular alargada es un poco rara, y en posicion horizontal podria colgarse un poco, pero como es muy ligero, no importa. Su luz LED azul es muy útil.
