Robust case

The body of the Kingston DataTraveler 100 G3 is made of matte fine-grained plastic with the Kingston logo on the front. The design of the flash drive is quite strict and minimalistic, but aesthetically distinct and nice, associated with a business style. The DataTraveler 100 G3 does not have a protective cap for the USB connector, as it is equipped with a sliding mechanism with automatic locking in the closed and open position. The only thing you can find fault with is a rather wide body, which can make it difficult to access other USB ports on a computer or laptop.

High write speed

When using USB 3.0, the Kingston DataTraveler 100 G3 has quite interesting speed ratings: 130 MB / s for reading and only 10 MB / s for writing. This is a tangible difference that would be worth worrying about if the synthetic tests didn't paint a different picture. In CrystalDiskMark, the flash drive averages 155 Mbps and 60 Mbps for read and write, while in ATTO Disk we see figures at the level of 150 MB / s and 70 MB / s. This model is also compatible with USB 2.0.

One of the best inexpensive flash drives

This speed allows you to quickly transfer large files from a flash drive and back, such as Blu Ray rips of new blockbusters for viewing on TV. All this makes the Kingston DataTraveler 100 G3 one of the best low cost alternatives to external hard drives for backup storage.
