Review on 💾 Kingston Digital 128GB Data Traveler 3.0 USB Flash Drive - Green: High-Capacity Storage Solution for Fast Data Transfer by Bryan Sperling

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Decent budget USB 3.0 drive

As a budget USB 3.0 drive, it pretty much ticks all the boxes. Read speeds are around 80MB/s depending on file size, while write speeds are around 15MB/s at best. If you're buying this drive for general use, especially copying and moving lots of files, you'll be disappointed. If you need something more or less disposable then this is a good choice. I find it useful to keep such utility and system installer CDs. For example, the Hiren Boot CD or the Windows 10 installation disk, which has a slightly slower read speed compared to other cheap USB drives, but performs much better when writing small files. The built-in controller seems to handle small files well compared to other USB sticks I've tested.
