Kingston DataTraveler Kyson USB 3.2 Gen 1 Flash Drive 256GB - Stylish Capless Metal Case

Bought this USB stick to back up large files and keep a portable copy. Transfer speeds are generally good, though they can vary depending on the type of files. The stick itself is very compact, lightweight, and feels well made. Overall, I'm happy with my purchase.

I've bought 2 of these recently, 1 for general use and 1 to go in my Blink Sync2 Module to provide local usb storage for my blink cameras. As a lot of users have done, I ran a CrystalDiskMark on it. This was only done on 1 out of the 2 I bought and was done twice, after a quick formats with 64KB and 128KB allocation unit sizes. Write-caching is disabled for quick removal by default on my machine. Slightly higher sequential read speeds with the 64KB size, but otherwise, not really much difference. Certainly not enough to affect general everyday use for me. I haven't noticed either getting particularly hot, but being an exposed metal case would help with any heat dissipation needed. Overall, a good sized USB 3.2 Gen 1 with a nice balance between capacity, speed and price. I can certainly see me getting more of these (at various capacities as needed) for myself and family and recommending to friends.

Handy storage device! I like the look and feel of this. It small and compact and feels like it won't break like some of the other usb pens out there. Can be attached to a key ring if needed and holds a good chunk of data. The transfer rates are good and video playback works great. Device can be encrypted if you want to keep the files safe and password protected. I use mine a mini storage drive for launch box so I can play retro games on the go. Overall this product is a great strong and reliable bit of storage and you won't go far wrong with it. Plug and play and just store the files you need on the go or even backup some of your most important files and store it away somewhere. Great for the price

I recently purchased the Kingston DataTraveler, and it has proven to be an excellent addition to my tech arsenal. It combines speed and security for a seamless data storage experience. The USB 3.2 Gen 1 technology ensures rapid data transfer, making it a breeze to move large files and documents. Whether I'm backing up important files or transferring multimedia content, the Kingston DataTraveler delivers impressive speed, saving me valuable time in the process. The sleek and durable metal casing not only gives it a premium look but also provides robust protection for my data. Its compact design makes it easy to carry in my pocket or attach to a keychain, ensuring that my files are always within reach when I need them. I appreciate the thought Kingston has put into security features. The drive supports password protection, giving me peace of mind knowing that my sensitive data is safeguarded against unauthorized access. This additional layer of security adds tremendous value, especially for those dealing with confidential information. The plug-and-play functionality is another standout feature. It works seamlessly with various devices, from laptops to smart TVs, without the need for any additional software installation. It's a true plug-and-play experience, which is perfect for users who want a hassle-free storage solution. It is also recommended by MSI to be used to Flash BIOS, which is originally what I purchased it for, although after realising how great of a flash drive it is, I now bring it everywhere with me. Will be interesting to find out how long it lasts before it begins to fail, being a capless design, dust and debris may get trapped within the USB port, although time will tell. In conclusion, the Kingston DataTraveler Kyson USB 3.2 Gen 1 Flash Drive is a reliable and high-performing storage solution. Whether you're a student, professional, or anyone in need of swift and secure data transfer, this flash drive is a fantastic choice. Kingston has once again delivered a product that combines speed, durability, and security, making it an essential tool in my daily tech toolkit. Highly recommended!

Great product from a trusted and well known brand/manufacturer Item works well no issues at all file transfer speeds are good it’s extremely compact and small would be great if it came with a key ring or some sort of clip on as the size is so small it could easily be lost or misplaced and also would be great if there was more storage size options available other than that it’s a great product and I’m only going to purchase products like this from well know and trusted manufacturers as there’s and reason why they are the other cheaper products offering larger storage capacity just don’t work!

In some ways I am finding this to be an excellent flash drive, but there are some points to consider. I got good results when inserted into a hardware USB slot, but to get it to work at the end of a USB extension lead I need a buffer. I use it to connect media files to the USB inputs at the back of my media screen, the sound passing through to the Arc input of my soundbar. Connecting the flash drive to the USB sockets is possible but fiddly, so I prefer to connect via a USB lead and prefer that lead to be ultra flexible to relieve strain on the connector socket. I am currently finding ultra flexible USB 3 leads to be difficult to find, HDMI leads are so easy to get in thin and flexible types, even at 8K rating. 118G flash drives ran well as is. With this 512G I tried buffering the flash output with a Usb multiport adapter,usb extender 3.0 Hub,double usb adapter for Desktop PC Compatible (3.0 adapter 2port). A two to one bridge, one of the two going to the 512G and the other end going to the cable. If needed, I have space for a second flash drive as the second of the two. It is now working well, though I am still looking for a USB lead that I can really like.

Bought this to use with a smart TV. Previously had a 256gb one, until I forgot it in a BnB, by the time I had got back there, some scummer had pocketed it 😕 but anyway. That one had lasted since.... before anyone had even heard of covid so I thought I'd try another one, same manufacturer, bigger size, Awesome. Or not. Bought this one the 09/10/24, by Christmas 24 was already having issues with it saying 'read only ', with none of the accepted solutions (very available online), or even YouTube and Microsoft not doing anything to help. Right, fine, I need to refresh what's on here so I'll have to get in touch with customer support and get a replacement. Which I did, they assured me it was in the post because it was well within the warranty period, so far, so good. A month later, no sign of it, so I emailed the customer service team, who were 'so sorry, it appears this request wasn't forwarded on to the right department, we'll get another one right out to you' this one arrived at the start of Feb, and it's just started saying the same thing 😐 again, nothing showing up on virus scan, the diskpart suggestion does bugger-all to help and even regedit does diddly squat. Ordered a SanDisk one earlier, more expensive but hopefully more reliable.

I've had these drives for a while and they are honestly amazing. Quick for installing an operating system from (if you do that often) and reliable for anything you throw at them. Also nice build (although the tolerances could've been tighter; the lanyard hook wobbles a bit.

Bought it for the lab 2 years ago for installing Ubuntu. Have gone through 10's of installations and they keep going.

Üürn sorun elime ulaştı ve sorunsuz çalışıyor hızıda gayet iyi...Çok teşekkür ederim.

Producto correcto. Lo necesitaba para tener una instalación de windows. Práctico y barato. Alcanza velocidades normales pero suficientes para no pasarte horas pasando archivos. Kingston siempre es confiable.
