Well-packaged drive (appearance, materials) and seems to work well. Overall excellent value for money for an 8GB flash memory drive.
A pen drive is essentially a data storage device that includes flash memory, in addition to an integrated USB (Universal Serial Bus) interface. Unlike the archaic floppy disks of yore, USB flash pen drives are characteristically quite portable and extremely handy to use.
My Kingston DataTraveler G4 seems to be a bit different. 130MB/s sequential read 20MB/s sequential write 12MB/s random 4k read (3000 IOPS) variable but generally slow random 4k write that can reach up to 1.7MB/s (up to 440 IOPS) Results above is on USB 3.0 This review was modfied by poster @...
Decent read speed; Cheap when on sale
Slow write speed
Really these are nice USB Flash drives, they come pre-formatted to FAT32, and work straight out the box. They are USB 3.0 natively, but will scale down to USB 2.0 and below ports, so I've used these on all my machines.
I wish I would've spent the extra 5 bucks and got write speeds of >60MB/s like the other Kingston drive I just purchased. Live and learn I guess
Pros: Holds data; Transfers data
Cons: I couldn't get it to transfer data faster than 8MB/s ; Really! Using a SSHD to a 3.0 usb connection, to a supposedly 3.0 USB drive
As the world's largest independent manufacturer of memory products, Kingston Technology doesn't need much of an introduction. The company got its start in 1987, when the computer industry was suffering from a severe shortage of surface-mount memory chips.
Mandatory security on all files; Hardware based 256-bit AES encryption; Includes "lockdown" mode for increased security; Compatible with Windows 2000/XP/Vista/7 and Mac OS X; Five year warranty; Reasonably priced
Slow write speeds; Not bootable
The Kingston DataTraveler Locker+ series of USB flash drives provide the expected level of performance for a USB memory stick, with the added security of password protected access and 256-bit AES Hardware Based Encryption, for a slight premium in cost over non-secure storage.
Secure storage
Not usable as boot device; not compatible with Linux
The most basic form of memory storage today is the flash drive. Since the preponderance of USB flash drives, I've forgotten and lost many. Their small size is to blame for that, but it's hard to deny they're essentially indispensable.
Kingston's new DataTraveler Locker+ 16GB USB thumb drive offers the useful capability of allowing a user to set up an encrypted partition to safeguard some of that data - while allowing the remaining drive space to be open and accessible by anyone.
With every type of product there's always a particular brand or SKU that rules the roost, that pushes the boundaries in terms of quality and performance. In the world of desktop computer memory there are a few of these: Corsair's Dominator Platinum and G.Skill's RipJaws are a couple of examples but...
Best-in-class performance; Great looks and high quality construction; Lifetime warranty
Very expensive; Tall heatsinks may cause compatibility issues; High frequency doesn't scale in many real world applications (at least not yet….
