Exactly what I was hoping for. Shipped faster than I expected. The product itself is small, but durable. I have an 8GB Nexus 7, and I bought this to store large media files. (Streamed on the tablet with an OTG Cable and an app). Works perfectly.

Up for review today I have the Kingston DataTraveler Generation 3 or G3 USB flash drive. The drive is 32gb capacity and it's one of the latest from Kingston. The G3 is very small and lightweight making it portable and easy to take with you.

Because it's slow, made my computer speed slower. It would be good for people who likes slower speed. The next time I purchase, I pay attention to speedier ones.

I benchmarked it twice (on USB 2.0 & 3.0 ports) with FAT32 formatting and got: read ~40MB/s write ~6.5MB/s access time of 0.90ms (sic) The plastic top feels like it's pressed into the thin, aluminum body, rather than glued. Odds are, it will fail before the flash memory does.

Exactly as described.  Good product.  Can't think of anything else to say about this.   It's what it says on the tin at a good price.

The performance of this drive leaves a lot to be desired. Using all 3.0 periphial equipment it is very slow in reading and writing. Aa a comparison I tested the same data using a Kingston 2.0 flash drive and it was faster at reading and writing the same data as the 3.0.

If you're looking for a 8G flash drive, then then consider these. The price is good and they work just fine. I like the fact that they don't have a cap that gets lost.

It's a fact that USB3 has to offer very high speed reads and writes, in many cases most USB3 flash drives have the same or higher speed as a traditional spinning drive, but you don't have to pay the penalty of the 2.5" portable size, and most importantly you don't have to wait for it to access the...

Low write speeds when it comes to small files

What exactly is computer security? From an engineering perspective, encrypting your data with a strong key and a complicated algorithm ought to keep anyone away from your sensitive information.

As more people use their smartphones and tablets alongside laptop and desktop PCs, the need for storage that works for both PCs and mobile devices only grows. With the Kingston DataTraveler microDuo ($29.95), plugging into your Android device is now just as simple as using a drive on your PC, and...
