Bulky; USB connector exposed to dust

I'm happy with its speed and capacity but I'm a little bit disappointed about its size and weight.

"That was an awkward question to ask," someone jumped in as I was having a conversation with another friend. "It was almost like asking when their wedding is." Responding to his remark, I jokingly addressed my friend and said, "So, when's your wedding?

Bought this for movies straight PC to TV (tv uses 2.0 usb) works a treat Althought not listed can be use with Windows 8 and as stated from/to 3.0/2.0 USB.

The Kingston DataTraveler Ultimate 3.0 G3 is a worthy successor to the DataTraveler Ultimate 3.0 G2 and we like the new stylish looks and improved read speeds!

The Kingston DataTraveler Ultimate 3.0 G3 is best used in a USB 3.0 port but is of course compatible with USB 2.0. When used in a USB 2.0 port you do get the advantage of optimized data transfer at full USB 2.0 speeds of 30MB/s Read and 20MB/s Write.

Very Satisfied with quality of the product

This drive was exactly what i was looking for. It is affordable, fast, stylish, and works perfect on my Macbook Air Laptop. The transfer speeds are so much faster on USB 3.0 vs. the old usb 2.0 technology. I transferred an 1.6 GB video file from my laptop to this drive in under 30 seconds.

Was looking for a 64GB USB 3.0 stick and bought this. The other (cheaper) Kingston datatravelers have terrible reviews on amazon...so be warned! I get 120 MB/s read (less than advertised) but 94 MB (more than advertised!) write. Tested with a 2GB file writing to and from a 400 MB/s SSD. It's great!

The speed of transfer with usb 3.0 to usb 3.0 is very fast. I transferred a 12GB file under 5 minutes. I also used this flash drive to watch movies on my smart TV. When streaming videos, it may lag at times, but on this flash drive, it worked without any lag, but that may also depend on your smart...
