Cl USB choisie pour sa rapidit et sa capacit. Mais laire attention, car la cl est formate en exFat qui n’est support pour Android qu’ partir d’Android 13. Sinon il faut formater en FAT32 mais on perd la possibilit de charger des fichiers suprieurs 4Go. La cl est longue, attention au port USB-C des tlphones qui s’cartent avec le temps, le poids de la cl fait qu’elle tient de justesse dans le port d’un tlphone de quelques annes. Mais son format 3.2 Gen 2 fait sa rapidit.

Qualitt
Die hochwertige Verarbeitung des USB-Sticks fllt sofort ins Auge, jedoch erfordert seine breitere Bauform eine etwas selektivere Wahl bei den Einsteckmglichkeiten.
Preis-Leistungsverhltnis
Das Preis-Leistungs-Verhltnis dieses Produkts ist uerst ausgewogen.
+ Der Lese- und vor allem Schreibzugriff ist super schnell (war mir am wichtigsten fr tgliche manuelle Backups).
– Das Gehuse wirkt etwas dnn/zerbrechlich
– Das Gehuse ist recht breit, so dass im Laptop ein Port direkt neben dem genutzten USB-Port (bei mir ein Klinkenstecker fr Kopfhrer) nicht mehr gleichzeitig nutzbar ist.
Der Stick ist wirklich schnell und funktioniert einwandfrei. Allerdings wird das Gehuse bei Verwendung merklich warm.
Das was mich am meisten strt ist allerdings wie der Stick so schief aus dem USB-C Anschluss meines Computers hngt. Kenne das von groen USB-A nicht und wundere mich da schon drber. Fhlt sich dadurch sehr fragil an und ich habe das Gefhl, dass entweder Stecker oder Anschluss irgendwann ausgenudelt sind.
Riconosciuta senza problemi da Win 11 e da Easeus todo backup.
Formattata di default in ex fat .
Tramite gestione disco di Win 11 ho cancellato il volume intero per ripartizionarla in partizione da 4 gb circa di fat32 ed il resto con partizione NTFS , a mo’ di depot/reservoir / archiviazione di file di dimensioni cospicue.
L’ ho acquistata soprattutto ai fini di avvio da usb in caso di disaster recovery (sperando di non averne mai bisogno) , riservando il resto dello spazio disponibile all’ archiviazione standard.
La utilizzo su mini PC minisforum UM 790 PRO (uscito da non molto al momento in cui scrivo, per cui non ne conosco l’affidabilit stante la natura di prodotto un po’ sui generis e di fatto con poco testing sul mercato mondiale ed italiano).
Non mi piace molto che il connettore sia retrattile ; per lunga esperienza so che alla fine quando il dispositivo di questo tipo maggiormente predisposto alle rotture.
E’ un tantino ingombrante , soprattutto in asse lungo, se la inserite nelle prese usb frontali del PC.
Potrebbe confliggere con altri elementi della scrivania, in prima istanza con la tastiera (io ho una profondit della scrivania di 70 cm circa e con un mini PC il problema non si pone).
in senso latero-laterale l’ ingombro pi contenuto, ma su dispositivi con porte varie tra loro ravvicinate (ad es sul retro , potrebbe dare fastidio).
Cmq valida nel complesso e non costosissima considerando il marchio . Al momento la ricomprerei.
Die Transferraten sind Lesend oder Schreibend auf auerordentlich hohem Niveau. Mit passender USB 3.2 Gen2 Hardware werden die angegebenen 1000/900MB/s fast erreicht. Bei der bertragung grerer Datenmengen (ca. ab 40 GB) sinkt die Transferrate beim Schreiben jedoch auf knapp 120MB/s. Vermutlich luft hier irgendein Cache voll, ob dies am Stick oder der SSD liegt kann ich nicht zweifelsfrei ermitteln.
Leider ist das verwendete Gehuse nicht von so guter Qualitt wie die bertragungsgeschwindigkeit. Das Material fhlt sich wirklich nach billiger Plastik an. Die Bezeichnung “DataTraveler” suggeriert fr mich bestmglichen Schutz bei hchstmglicher Mobilitt – Kingston, hier ist jede Menge Luft nach oben – schade!
Fazit:
Schneller Datentransporter mit billigem Gehuse. Vier Sterne fr ein brauchbares Produkt.
Use for disk imaging to create and offline backup… transfer is as fast as my Samsing T7s and small enough to put in work bag so backup is in a different location to local backups
Mine delivered everything promised, the speed, etc. For some strange reason, after one week later it stopped working. Did the usual checks, disk management, etc. No joy. While it was working, it certainly delivered. I guess I got the Monday morning one 🙁
Using this to transfer big videos from my SSD between computers, before was using another pendrive, but seeing with this 4gb videos copied in less than 5 seconds is impressive. If you have usb-3.2 works like a charm
Good: I tested and it gives extremely fast speed with file transfers. The speed given by the manufacturer is accurate. It has an LED light that is extremely useful to know when the drive is being accessed. I added a picture to show the blue LED in action (another reviewer said that the LED was missing but mine was not missing).
Bad: The flash drive is unnecessary large compared to other flash drives. It is pretty lengthy and is not comfortable when adding to my key ring because it is longer than my other keys (door/car). Please keep this in mind when purchasing.
Las velocidades de lectura y escritura son bastante buenas para tenerla como disco en una unidad de booteo con un SO, prcticamente es un SSD portatil. La capacidad es bastante buena tambin, la tengo como unidad de respaldo y recuperacin con Kali (funciona como Live Boot encriptado), de esta forma puedo tener toda mi configuracin disponible para su arranque en cualquier computadora.
Desventajas:
– Al ser tipo C, el conector es muy fragil/pequeo
– El precio normal es bastante alto en comparacin con un SSD (aunque en una oferta me sali igual)
– Hay muchas computadoras que an no tienen puerto tipo C
The speed has to be seen to be believed. A 3gb file flies from a macbook Pro in less than a second.
The form factor is extremely ugly and too wide to allow for a peripheral to be connected in an adjacenct usb c port, though. It’s easy to work around and overall, the speed wins out.
As others have noted, the drive does not reach the theoretical speeds quoted, but was still a delight when transferring many Gigabytes of data. I suspect the source device speed and environment degrades the expected performance, even though in my case the source drive was solid state and the interface was usbc.
A good USB type-c drive, that starts writing from laptop to usb drive quickly, but does slow down as the write continues. However, and to be fair to the makers of the flash drive, my laptop is not usb gen 2×2, so the super duper speeds claims by the manufacturer are not achievable and I accept that. If I had a 3000 high quality/spec brand new laptop, that has usb ports that support gen 2×2, the write speed would obviously be quicker, and I bought this drive for future laptop upgrades and with the 5 year guarantee, I thought it would be a better option, than having an external hard drive with attaching cables etc…
I use this just as a library for retro games. Anything I can’t fit on my phone I save to this and these files are often 1-5gb and they transfer in a flash. With phones ditching the SD card this is the next best thing.
The speed is great. I have a 3.2 Gen 1 motherboard, so it bottlenecks the Gen 2 memory, but even with that, my download speed is enormous. Compared to my old 3.0USB with 10-12Mb/s, the Kingston writes with 400Mb/s. I downloaded a 35Gb 4K movie on it in about 90 seconds.
This drive works very well for me. I’ve used it with Windows and Android to transfer large music and media collections between devices. I was quite surprised how fast my S10E could read from it. Unfortunately, it doesn’t fit through the case I have for my Surface, but on the laptop it is fantastic and doesn’t block the USB A port or my headphone jack. Very pleased.
Nothing to complain speed wise (see attached screenshot). It rivals some NVMe enclosures..
I bought this product for around $38. At that price, it was only about $8-10 dollars more when compared to other big name brand 256gb USB C flash drives, but you get much faster speeds. At $38 dollars, I think this drive is fantastic, but I don’t think I would buy this product again unless it came back around or below $38.
Minor complaints:
I wish the case was made out of metal rather than plastic. For a drive that’s supposed to retail for $63 dollars, you would think it would have a more premium finish. A metal case would also help transfer heat more effectively than plastic.
Also, the design of the case could be better. When the USB plug is sheathed, the plug is still exposed on the back. They really should have designed it so the plug is fully covered when sheathed.
Lastly, I wish the USB plug was extended slightly so I could use this flash drive with certain phone cases. Most phone cases will not allow you to fully insert this drive. You will either need to remove your the case or buy a new one that has enough room to insert the drive. (I wouldn’t really consider this a design flaw or proper complaint but it would be a nice QOL improvement).
– Writing speed ~500 MB/s, ~8 seconds.
– Reading speed 900MB/s -2 GB/s., less than 4 seconds.
It is a very high speed memory stick, but not as advertised.
Excellent quality even though it has a plastic case. Prefer the Date Traveller metal sticks of which I have many.
The case has a sharp edge on the opened end when extended and opened for use and it took number of operations to become smooth. Otherwise great value.
