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

Revainrating 5 out of 5

The best I ever used, recommend it to everybody.

Feedback on dt100g3 / 32gb, but then mysticism and shomanism begin. Like many citizens who wrote a negative review, at the start my flash drive showed a miserable 6 megabytes per second for recording. I tried to format it in different file systems (ext4, fat, ntfs), filled the volume with DVD images, the drive was inexorable 6-7 megabytes per second. As a result, having formatted the drive in FAT, I decided to test it through dd if=/dev/zero of=/media/userok/TrashFlash/output. File bs=1M count=10 oflag=direct, smoothly increasing the count, and lo and behold, the drive showed speeds up to 65 mb/s on small volumes, and I got to count=4096 at a speed of 30 mb/s, after which I formatted the drive in NTFS and uploaded 26 gigs of DVD images to it, the copy speed was around 22-25 megabytes per second. I don’t know what akhalai mahalai influenced this wonderful device, but now it pleases us with its performance in every possible way.

Pros
  • price, build quality, convenient case idea without a cap
Cons
  • "slightly wider than the street", the case is too big, it blocks neighboring connectors, there is no LED indicator, I really like it when something winks during activity
