KingstonDataTraveler Max - 256GB - USB 3.2 Gen 2 - Flash Drive Type-A - Up to 1,000MB/s Read, 900MB/s Write

I have had a few Kingston USB drives in the past and to be truthful, was never very happy with the write speed, read speed was Ok, so this was a surprise, on benchmark testing using USB 3.2 Gen1 port , read 420Mb/sec. write 409Mb/sec. In real life testing, witting to the Kingston Data Traveler Max from USB 3.2 Gen1 port, video file of 5.59Gb returned a speed of 331Mb/sec. and took 18 seconds, in all fairness this is very good, Went onto copy some work files 9.86Gb (12680 files) I knew this would be a lot slower, jumped around a bit but under 6 minuets at around 29Mb/sec. average, My old stick was around 8Mb/sec. so lots faster for small files from what I am use to. Got 5 stars from me

fast and solid. I have a usb 3.0 gen 1 port, so I couldn’t hit the full speeds, but it still worked really well. if you’ve got gen 2, this thing will fly. Just returning because I can’t take full advantage of it right now

Really fast for a USB stick but it does heat up fast and it's wrapped in cheap plastic!

This was bought for shifting large files from one PC to another, read and write speeds are fantastic. It's quite sturdy too.

Broken after one year. Used maybe 20 times. Not worth 1 cent

It works as advertised. Only criticism is that they are quite long. I use them for TV USB storage for timed recordings or ellapsed recordings and playback. Due to the length it only just fitted in one of the TV's

I have a few of them and they are really fast. However, they are not suitable for booting the system, at least I have a problem with them on several systems qubes, unix and linux variants Great for transferring video or audio files.

Nice and quick but failed completely after one and a half years of light infrequent use. Build quality is terrible, flimsy plastic. Returning to Amazon under warranty for full refund to replace with alternative of better build quantity.
