KingstonDataTraveler Exodia 256GB USB 3.2 Flash Drive DTX/256GB, Black

This flash stick comes in very handy with storage of videos and photos. Need more, larger sizes. Will buy more.

It is quick and convenient. I like the built-in key ring.

Very good price for the amount of storage.

I got one of the 256Gs to make a usb boot drive. For that it worked perfectly, I was able to fix this PC with youtube videos and a few downloads after a hard drive crash booting direct from the USB. Then I got one for photos and things, but wanted to test it's read write in a real world stress test. I downloaded 108.5Gbs over ethernet (GTAV from steam), it took roughly a day and a half to download. It's write takes a while. I was surprised it ran at all but I did play half the first mission until it struggled with rendering distant objects. No lag or pop in, just weird blocks in the distance. Amazed it ran at all. I am now moving the local files to a 2TB seagate and it's about 25% transferred after an hour. The download graph looked like a sawtooth, like it was getting a bunch of data but taking a moment to process it so there is defiantly a write bottle neck. For audio, photos, pdfs, and all those small files that add up fast this is fine, but if you transfer large data a lot it's slow. I knocked a star off for the write speed, but it's not bad to have horribly slow Tx for the price. If the it's my PC and the new seagate has the same issues I'll update.Update: Didn't have the driver installed for my video card, the Seagate did the same thing until I installed them so there is a chance I could have run GTA using this if the driver was installed. The write time was still crazy. It only took about 2 hours to move the 108Gs from this drive to the Seagate so it also may have been comcast throttling my download speeds. For the price you can't go wrong with this for backup though.

Advertised write speed is off by more than a factor of TEN! That's on top of the drive locking up and not allowing me to finish writing or deleting the portion of my files that had written to the drive before it crashed.After it locked up I did a full format to factory settings and then it worked again. But the format took a full 10 hours and write speeds were still less than a few hundred Kb/s after the reformat. That's correct, never above 200 Kb/s when stated write speed is up to 625 Mb/s!!I bought three flash drives from three different manufacturers because I wanted to remove about 140 Gb of important stuff from my computer. Each drive was 256 Gb, USB 3.2. I copied the exact same folders to each flash drive using the same USB port. One drive did the copy in an hour, one in less than 3 hours, and the Kingston took well over 24 hours. My computer did not ever sleep or shut down during the write.

works as expected. Fast delivery.

Works as advertised

Works fine
