💾 Kingston Digital 32GB DataTraveler 100 G3 USB 3.0 Flash Drive - 2 Pack - Efficient Data Storage Solution (KW-U713202-8A) Review

I received two of these and neither of them could be used. The Windows 10 Explorer file manager did not recognize the drives and did not display any information. Unable to access disk properties to format because the disk did not exist! While the drive was plugged into the USB port, the screen would flash and refresh about every ten seconds or so, as if something was interfering with normal processes. The Windows Disk Management utility was also unable to remove or create a partition or format…

Bought two 16GB flash drives and both are working fine so far. Run a USB OS on one and use the other in my car stereo and haven't had a single problem so far. I've seen some people say they got hot, but mine wasn't even remotely warm.

This drive has an INCREDIBLY SLOW write speed. Unfortunately I bought about 4 of these because I needed a bunch in a pinch, but now I look at the FAQ and other reviews, this thing is capped at 10MB/s. That's practically USB 2.0 speed. I'm getting an average of 6MB/s on my USB3.0 port, from the SSD to this flash drive, and it won't go above 7MB/s. It is sold as USB3.0 and has a blue USB connector. Pure shadow marketing. I recommend you buy something with true 3.0 speeds.
