As with all Kingston products, there have never been any problems, and this has been proven over many years of using Kingston products.
So, no surprise.
The drive works without a problem, but beware that for large file transfers, it is very slow.
In writing, compared to a 64GB SanDisc Extreme USB 3.0 stick which copies a file at a speed of more than 150MB/s, this stick copies the same file at a speed of about 15MB/s (same PC and same USB port).
I have not tested this for folders with many small files.
For reading, the speed is better, it is about 90MB/s (230MB/s for the SanDisc).
Although this flash drive is very affordable, it is unfortunate that the speed is so low, especially for a USB 3.0 (hence my 3 stars).
In summary, it's fine for backup use, or everyday use for small files, but unsuitable for fast transfer of large files.
I'm not sure if it's a good idea to use it as a backup or as a daily backup for small files.
I have been a customer of LDLC since its inception.
I am surprised at the number of good reviews for this product.
It seems that many people have never owned a quality USB flash drive.
This drive is impossibly slow to write! I've owned slow drives before, but this one beats all records. I've owned some slow flash drives in the past, but this one beats all records, and I'm sure that a 32GB flash drive is for copying large files, so it must be at least fast.
I hardly use it anymore, I bought a Sandisk Extreme Go instead and now it's night and day.
Recognized 1 out of 5 times on my TV recorder so really annoying! I do not recommend this product at all. Even on the PC it is sometimes not detected.
