A simple budget flash drive. It has decent speed. Currently, the price is very attractive; I bought it for 500 UAH in 2018. The casing is not metal. It heats up during use. There is no protection for the connector.  Reverse_rain: use Kingston DataTraveler 100 G3 64Gb more than year |
The bad thing is that almost all sellers are selling it as USB 3.0. Not a bad shape for tech who like medium-sized flash drives. It's not USB 3.0, but a device compatible with USB 3.0 with a performance speed no higher than USB 2.0. The CrystalDiskMark test shows a write speed of no more than 7 MB/s, though it should be substantially higher. Artem: use Kingston DataTraveler 100 G3 week |
bad product died after 18 days, I used to always praise Kingston, now I tell everyone it's junk. Unfortunately, I didn't keep the packaging, so they refuse to replace it under warranty. I didn't buy it from the official store. Not fast, maximum speed of 8.7 MB/s. Cons: turned out to be unreliable, after 18 days it showed as 0 bytes. convenient (the cap doesn't get lost) turned out to be unreliable and after 18 days was defined as 0 bytes. |

The speed is quite decent, not a rocket-drone, but it’s enough for my tasks. In tests, it shows a write speed of 17-18 MB/s and about 84 MB/s when reading from it, which is very good for a 6-year-old flash drive.
I really like the design. In previous flash drives, I constantly lost the caps on the contacts, but here there is a slide mechanism. Although it does not prevent dirt and dust from getting into the connector, so be careful when carrying the flash drive in your pocket or if it has been lying on the table for a long time, as something might get in there.
When writing, the plastic casing noticeably starts to heat up. By the way, unlike most flash drives on the market, this one does not have a write LED.
Can I recommend it? Yes, absolutely. I don’t know what people do with flash drives here in the reviews that they die on them; I assume there is a significant amount of defects. I have encountered memory cards from Kingston that just died after a few months of use. But my unit is fine, it has been working since 2018.
