Don’t get me wrong, this is a good value, but as an everyday use drive I wouldn’t recommend it. I got a couple of these drives for System Recovery and for that it works well enough. Top read speed of 209 Mb/s, and top write speed gyrates between 26 Mb/s to 44 Mb/s. Also, the drive is smaller than I expected, much smaller. In fact it’s hard to put in the USB port. Very snug fit.

Remain one of the most Stylish USB Flash Drive, with great value for 32 GB USB 3.2 Flash Drive storage.

Others have noted the same two flaws I put in my headline; they are correct: these fit way too snugly into a USB type-A port, and the writes are seriously sloooowww. By comparison, I have some 5-year-old Lexar 32GB thumb drives (USB 3.0 standard) whose write times average about 39 MB/second when writing a 5.5 GB video; these Kingston drives averaged about 12-18 MB/s when writing the same big video file. (Note: I of course had to reformat both the Kingston drive and the old Lexar drive with the exFAT filing system to accommodate that large video file. The default filing system written on these Kingstons is FAT32, unfortunately, and FAT32 cannot accommodate files larger than 4 GB.) These are NOT the kind of drive I would ever buy for day-to-day usage.

I bought these as archive USB discs for my family digital photo album. I on purpose bought this model because I have an older version of this disc and it has lasted a very long time and is solid. This new version does is not as solid as the old version. Where the metal jacket attaches will not be as durable; it is more buttoned on rather than seamless as previously. This new model is more likely to come undone over time and therefore will not last as long.

For big files and complete directories this is the guy you’ve been waiting for. Gobbles up RAW files and videos like they were ASCII and retrieves them with equal zest. Again, simple copy and paste gets the job done. A joy to use.

I use this as a backup drive in a Sound Devices MixPre 6 II. I have older drives from Kingston, the all-metal DataTraveler SE9 series, and those are great – 32GB sticks with a flat profile, and 64GB sticks with a curved profile that makes it easier to grab and plug and unplug. They can easily be put onto keychains which is useful if you rotate through backups. By comparison, this stick is very flimsy and the plastic end feels wobbly right out of the box. It required quite a bit of force to put into the slot, and also to remove. I’m surprised how much worse it is than previous models. It does the job so far, but I won’t be buying any more of this type of USB stick.
