Review on Kingston DataTraveler flash drive 100 G3 256 GB, 1 pc. black by Anand Anand ᠌

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Not all that bad, but there are minuses.

On the smartphone, I could neither read nor write a single file via OTG. It takes a very long time to connect, it is recognized slowly, reading the table of contents takes about five minutes, it freezes and bugs during file operations. Tried several times, used two different adapters. I took two identical flash drives - with both such a story. Other flash drives are normally read / written on the same smartphone via OTG, among them the same Kingston, but of a different model. When working on a PC, it's another matter - it's not buggy. But, despite USB 3.0, it is very slow. With large files, the instantaneous speed rises to 8-9Mb / s for recording. Because rarely used - has not yet had time to burn out, as they say. Pleased with the price and volume. Good for a one time occasion. Nevertheless, if it were possible to return to the past, I would take something a little more expensive than 50-100, but more reliable.

Pros
  • Price/volume, original design. The cap is hard to lose.
Cons
  • Problems when connecting via OTG to a Smartphone. The case is "thick" - it obscures neighboring connectors, if they are located close, as on a laptop - you can't plug two flash drives at the same time.
