Review on πŸ’Ύ Kingston 32GB USB 3.0 Black DataTraveler 100 G3 3 Pack Review and Features by Kenny Donald

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Hypersonic transfer speed, icy write speed

I bought these flash drives because 1) I generally trust Kingston more than nameless brands and 2) they were cheap ($18 for 3). However, upon first use, I immediately noticed that writing to these drives on Windows 10 via USB 3.0 ports is very slow. For example, copying a 4GB ISO file to this drive on a modern PC took about 8 minutes to a nearly empty drive. While poor write performance doesn't make them useless, if you're like me and have little patience with technology that slows things down, you probably won't enjoy the wait. But if you're willing to spend some of your time saving a few bucks, they're not so bad. Pros: Decent amount of storage (32GB) for the money. Cons: Slow typing speed can lead to a temporary case of Tourette's syndrome in people with limited patience.
