Kingston DataTraveler 100 G3 128Gb (DT100G3/128GB)

The top model of the DataTraveler 100 G3 series, manufactured by Kingston, the world leader in the Flash memory market, is a 128 GB drive. This is a plastic flash drive with a 5-year manufacturer's warranty.

Interesting sliding mechanism

Case Kingston DataTraveler 100 G3 128Gb has a matte finish. A cap for the USB connector is not provided, as the model is equipped with a sliding mechanism with automatic locking in the closed and open position. On the back there is a loop for a lace.

The interesting form factor of the USB drive is complemented by a very compact size. Although the rather bulky width of the base (21 mm) can interfere with the connection of a second device to the adjacent port, which is worth considering for laptop owners.

It is possible to draw a picture on the body of a flash drive within the framework of the Co-Logo proprietary programme. This feature may be of interest to corporate buyers who need flash drives with branding elements (company logo image) and plan to purchase 100 or more drives.

USB 3.0 support

Kingston DataTraveler 100 G3 128Gb complies with the third generation USB specification. Also, the flash drive provides backward compatibility with ports of the 2.0 standard. But the user will feel tangible advantages in speed only in terms of reading data — 100 MB / s. Recording, according to the data on the package, occurs at 10 MB / s, but in fact it often turns out to be 1.5 – 2.5 times slower.

With Kingston DataTraveler 100 G3 128Gb, you can quickly copy and play files, which is convenient, for example, when watching a movie from a flash drive on TV. But it will take longer to write data to a USB drive — from 1.5 to 3 minutes per 1 GB. If this point is not critical, then the model deserves your attention.
