Overview
Kingston refreshed its classic DataTraveler design with faster USB transfers for storing and sharing files. It plugs into standard Type-A ports on computers, TVs and consoles that accept flash drives.
Quick reads and a familiar slim design make it an easy drive for documents, photos and music. The listing gives no warranty or build details and mixes capacities in the title.
Who it's for
Students and office workers who carry files between home and work computers get a quick, simple drive. Owners of USB-C-only laptops need an adapter or a USB-C drive.
Pros and cons
- Fast reads for its class
- Classic slim design
- Plugs into standard USB-A ports
- Write speed slower than read
- Capacity unclear in title
- Warranty not listed
Performance notes
Read speed is much higher than write speed, so copying files off the drive is quicker than filling it. Peak speeds need a matching fast USB port; older ports cap transfers.
