Model overview based on user reviews
The Kingston DataTraveler Kyson USB flash drive is praised for its excellent read speed, reaching up to 228 MB/s, making it ideal for quick data transfers. However, its write speed is inconsistent, often dropping to 20-30 MB/s after an initial burst, which is a common issue with TLC memory flash drives. Users appreciate its compact design, but some have noted that the build quality feels flimsy, with a metal casing that's more like a thin foil over plastic. While the 128GB version has been criticized for offering only 115GB of usable space, the drive is generally considered a good value for its price, especially when compared to similar products. Despite some reports of defective units and low-quality assembly, the Kingston DataTraveler Kyson remains a popular choice for those seeking a budget-friendly option with decent performance for everyday use.

A flash drive is just a flash drive; the body is metal, but in thickness, it's closer to foil :) Don't expect it to be indestructible :) As for the claimed speeds, I measured with large files of 6-7GB using an SSD. Write speeds are 33-40MB/s (though the readings jump twice per second). Reading starts at 171MB/s and ends at 150MB/s. Overall, it's better than its counterparts at the same price, like the 64GB SanDisk, which starts writing at 25MB/s, then heats up after 10 seconds and drops to 13-15MB/s. For home use and considering its price, it will do, but of course, it would be nice to see at least 80-85% of the claimed write speed.

Super fast in reading. The Win image is dropped onto the PC where the OS is installed in 15 seconds. And in recording...alas, like all flash drives on TLC memory, 20-30 MB/s Excellent real read speed of about 190 MB/s. There is a 600 MB buffer with a write speed of 70-80 MB/s For about 10 years now, flash drives in the mid-price category have not been able to break away in recording above 20-30 MB/s. So is this Kingston DataTraveler Kyson |
i do not recommend it, I will return it and get my money back. no the box says the flash drive has a capacity of 128 GB, but in reality, it has 115 GB. Where are the other 13 GB? Zolik: use Kingston DataTraveler Kyson 128Gb less than month |
