CLEAR

Nothing to report on this purchase. Bought it to easily transfer files from my old PC to the new one, after formatting in NTFS, everything went well. As usual, LDLC delivery was top notch. Thank you for the great service!

The world's slowest USB flash drive!

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.

        Perfect

        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.

        Not expensive but...

        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.

        Recognised 1 in 5 times

        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.

        Well

        The product is correct, works very well in USB 3. It just lacks a small light indicating that the key is properly plugged into the PC.

        Heavy enough for a key

        Cheap as a 32GB DataTraveler flash drive, quite powerful and a bit heavy! But not compatible with some devices.

        OK!

        Nothing to say, it works. The write speed is low, but I think this is mainly due to the motherboard and the usb3 port which is probably not well managed.

        A good flash drive

        Nothing to complain about, it works very well, good capacity, allows you to install Windows 10 for example quite easily etc...

        An excellent USB stick

        Recognized immediately by windows 10, offering a nice writing quality. I used it to install windows 10 on it, and to store some data.

        Nothing more to say, it does the job, and I recommend it given its price.

        Good flash drive

        This is a very good flash drive and good value for money, it is compatible with all USB speeds. The read/write speed is very good for this kind of USB stick.
        I recommend it for moving files.

        Impeccable

        I bought this stick to use as a bootable usb. It worked the first time, formats easily, more than enough capacity. It's a good idea to use it as a bootable usb flash drive, it's easy to format and has more than enough capacity. It's easy to store, and looks solid!

        Key that does its job

        Ordered and received as usual with no problems on LDLC (except for the usual 24 hour delay between the order, which included other items all in stock, and the shipment, maybe there is a way to scratch a bit?)

        I've been using it for a while now, but I'm not sure if it's a good idea to use it for a long time. So very good, even if it's not ultra-fast (hence the missing star)

        The design seems solid. In short, nothing to complain about.

        Perfect, thank you

        I am very happy with the read/write speed of the USB 3.0. I chose Kingston for its reliability and durability. The retractable key (the usb port itself is protected by the body of the key which acts as a plastic cover) has a simple but effective design.

        Very good

        Fast read and write access, faster than some keys that are supposedly as fast - nothing to say, very good buy - I would take in the same brand for a bigger size with confidence.

        my suitcase, always in my pocket

        This key is only used as a troubleshooting and installation / restoration key for Windows 8/10...

        for this brand I played the longevity card hoping I was not mistaken.

        Good stuff I recommend!

        Sober and efficient

        Sober and efficient with very decent transfer times in USB3.
        The only problem is that the marketing takes us for fools. Indeed, this 32GB flash drive is only 28.8GB.
