This flash drive made our jaws drop. It has stunning performance under USB 3.0, and is a great overall drive. It stays consistent in terms of performance, is sturdily built, and is compact and easy to carry around.

I don't know about you, but more often than not, when I hear a person's name before seeing them, my brain would generate a mental image of them of what they might look like. To make sure I am not crazy or anything, I went around and asked a few of my friends, and it turns out I am not the only one.

There is a very small catch ... the physical size of the case is not super small, so on those crowded motherboard multiple USB connectors, it may require unplugging another device to fit. For the front of a machine, it is great. It is also easy to hang on to, so fumbling is not a problem.

This is a USB 3 stick; It is fast as can be; It has adequate memory to do multiple system backups for most folks; I purchased it to transfer rebuild one of the company servers; I formatted it for Linux and used it as a super fast hard disk.

Couldn't use it with my Lenovo T430... the USB3.0 ports in this laptop (as with some other slim laptops) are slightly recessed under the laptop frame and because this memory stick is unusually bulky and large - it won't fit...I am not sure who design it and why they didn't think of it...

Fast

Bulky; Poor Design

The DataTraveler HyperX USB 3.0 isn't actually the first Kingston drive to be touted by the company as an SSD-like Flash drive as that "honor" belongs to the DataTraveler Ultimate 3.0, launched back in September of 2010.

High sequential transfer speeds - High capacity - Great looking - Five-year warranty

- $149 base price - Low random 4K performance

Outstanding product with outstanding performance. Certainly it's one of the fastest USB drive out on the market. Excellent construction and reliability so far.

Kingston sent a HyperX Datatraveler 64GB USB 3.0 Drive for evaluation. HyperX is meant to be a series to give an all round better than mainstream/value series hardware of any kind- memory kit, SSD and flash drives- and much better quality.
