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

I bought this online. It came (with a broken indicator light) and did not work. I would show up and be greyed out. I tried to return it to a store near me, and the 'Agent' confirmed that it was not working, and when he couldn't figure out how to refund me my money, told me i had to call BBY and...

Looks cool; good price

did not show up; overheating

Now that you have met the Kingston DataTraveler HyperX 3.0 64GB USB 3.0 flash drive, is it a product that appropriately corresponds to its name? I can't really tell you about the reliability part; only time will tell.

As the description states, this product worked for me for about 2 weeks before internal components overheated and broke. This product was fast while it lasted , but I would not recommend it due to a bad design, and very short life.

Almost everyone reading this review is likely to have a small USB 2.0 flash drive at home or work. They can be used for transferring files between machines, flashing the BIOS of a motherboard and for offline mirroring of sensitive data.

Price matched this item for a great deal. The reads on the specs may not be as fast as other usb 3.0, but the write compensates for that as it is one of the highest ones out there with ~ 30mb/s good overall product, and I like the blue and black finish.

Portable; Fast; nice color finish

Fast; Solid build; HyperX branding and style

Price

Kingston's HyperX brand has a good reputation in memory components, such as the Kingston HyperX Genesis 2,133MHZ 16GB RAM , and in solid state hard drives such as the Kingston HyperX 240GB SSD .

Large capacity for a USB thumb drive; Very fast; Robust design

Bulky case can make plugging it in tricky; Cap could be easily lost

The Kingston DataTraveler HyperX is one of the fastest flash drives from the memory manufacturer. It advertises speeds of more than 200 MB/s write and 100 MB/s read. Too good to be true? We take a close look to find out.

Incredible read performance; Awesome write performance; Great USB 2.0 performance; Sturdy shell; Hook to chain for key ring; Bright; blue activity LED; Lifetime warranty; Available with up to 256 GB; Excellent price in the EU

For some reason expensive in the US; Gets pretty warm when moving loads of data; Bulky size compared to other drives

If you are in the market for a new flash drive, there are three metrics you tend to focus on. The first being performance, followed closely by capacity and of course warranty. For the longest time Kingston's HyperX brand has been the pinnacle of performance, and as their portfolio grows, the...
