KingstonDataTraveler Max - 256GB - USB 3.2 Gen 2 - Flash Drive Type-A - Up to 1,000MB/s Read, 900MB/s Write

Amazing. Very fast. If copying 10s of GBs, could become a bit slow. Better than most usbs.

Fast and reliable USB stick with plenty of storage. Compact design and works perfectly.

Transfer speeds are good, though as usual with usb devices on windows, drop to about 40-50MB/s write speed once the write cache is full.capacity is as advertised (shows as 953 GB in windows, which is what i would expect)Reasonable build quality, though the slide mechanism is kind of janky-feeling, though easy to use. The sliding plastic cover is made of relatively thin plastic, and the lanyard/keyring slot isnt really reinforced in any way. Main body seems solid enough.Perfect for keeping in a bag or laptop case, rather than on your keys, especially considering its a bit big for a keyring.Doesn't get too hot when transferring large amounts of data, just slightly warm.Price seems reasonable for a good quality brand-named usb stick.

fast and solid. I have a usb 3.0 gen 1 port, so I couldn’t hit the full speeds, but it still worked really well. if you’ve got gen 2, this thing will fly. Just returning because I can’t take full advantage of it right now

Broken after one year. Used maybe 20 times. Not worth 1 cent

Write speed drops to 76 Megabytes per second. 215mins to fill. Chonky. USB-A. Looks cheap!usable capacity in ntfs is 953GiB = 1024,207,089,664 bytes. Took 3h35m to fill with 1GB files. Initial write speed was 700MBytes per second. This dropped under 98MB/s after 42mins; 82M/s after 160min; 76M/s by end. However, it never hung. Recognised in my LG Oled TV ( media playback ) . I bought mine 'used' & with a £5 extra discount coupon so forgive it a bit on those grounds. It is not a 'lemon' but is clunky & only has USB-A. My review got bounced when I recommended alternatives but there are several reliable tiny & cheap models from the big names.

I have had a few Kingston USB drives in the past and to be truthful, was never very happy with the write speed, read speed was Ok, so this was a surprise, on benchmark testing using USB 3.2 Gen1 port , read 420Mb/sec. write 409Mb/sec. In real life testing, witting to the Kingston Data Traveler Max from USB 3.2 Gen1 port, video file of 5.59Gb returned a speed of 331Mb/sec. and took 18 seconds, in all fairness this is very good, Went onto copy some work files 9.86Gb (12680 files) I knew this would be a lot slower, jumped around a bit but under 6 minuets at around 29Mb/sec. average, My old stick was around 8Mb/sec. so lots faster for small files from what I am use to. Got 5 stars from me

This was bought for shifting large files from one PC to another, read and write speeds are fantastic. It's quite sturdy too.
