Review on Kingston DataTraveler 1TB USB C Performance by Mateusz Szlassa ᠌

Revainrating 4 out of 5

The goods are normal, money is not wasted!

Compared to other flash drives, copying information even to USB 2.0 is faster. On the USB 2.0 connector, when connected to a PC, it heats up much less, but the exchange rate during information transfer naturally decreases. The declared characteristics will be only when the connection is made via Type-C 3.2 gen 2. Some pros: Read and write speed, actual declared storage capacity. I tried to install Windows 10 to go on this flash drive. Loads noticeably faster than the HDD. Got cons: The price of such drives is still high. Type-C connector, but no USB-A adapter included. You will have to buy it separately if there is no Type-C connector on the PC. It heats up strongly after a short time, when connected to Type-C USB connectors version 3.0 and higher without an adapter. With an adapter, (Type-C socket to USB-A male) heats up less. Conclusion: you need to monitor the temperature of the drive, or come up with its cooling so that the flash drive does not become unusable ahead of time.
