Kingston DataTraveler SE9 USB Flash Drive; 256GB

As a techy individual who often has to store data and boot off of flash drives, this product stood out to me specifically for its rugged design, generous storage size, and fast transfer speed. Before, I had an old SanDisk Cruzer that was manufactured over ten years ago, and while it got the job done, it was time for it to retire. This new flash drive, with its rugged design, ensures durability and reliability, even in less-than-ideal conditions. I always have a flash drive attached to my keychain, because I often need access to one. The generous storage size means I can store large amounts of data without worrying about running out of space. The high transfer speeds are also game-changer, although your computer must support USB 3.0 technology in order to get that benefit. Additionally, the size of this flash drive compared to my old flash drive makes it much more portable and easier to carry. After doing some of my own benchmarks, I can conclude that the speeds are on-par with what was advertised and sometimes the flash drive even exceeded the advertised speeds. I have been able to achieve read speeds at around 200 MB/s and write speeds at even over 100 MB/s. Your filesystem will affect your write speeds due to the overhead of some filesystem formats - since I use both Linux and Windows, I formatted this drive to exFAT so I could access the flash drive from both systems, which is lighter than Windows' NTFS filesystem. Transitioning from my old SanDisk Cruzer, which had served me well over the past decade, to this modern flash drive was well worth it. Whether I'm storing important work files, booting up a live Linux operating system, or simply transferring data, this new flash drive offers a seamless and efficient experience. Everything that I have dealt with so far using this flash drive has been exactly what I expected and more.

So glad I bought this Kingston flash drive, it's small in size but holds a lot of documents and photos. The color stands out among the others I carry. Never had problems with Kingston flash drives, although sometimes during a lot of use they get a bit warm to the touch. Worth the price, premium product.

Faster, cheaper, smaller… the path to success in the electronics world today. Add increased capacity and durability, and you’ve got a winner! There are any number of cheaper ‘thumb drives’ on the market, of varying capacities, and most are adequate for storing data. But many are clumsily housed in unnecessarily large plastic enclosures that lack durability and will not work side-by-side in many notebook PCs with dual USB-A outlets. That’s when size matters, and in those instances Kingston’s narrow titanium-clad memory sticks are perfect for the job. When I consider purchasing any product, particularly electronics and tools, I focus on three things — Fit, Form, Function — and if the item does not measure up in any of the three areas, I keep looking. In the case of Kingston’s thumb drives, they’re well designed, fit in tight spaces, built tough, and function perfectly… every time!

Small! Perfect for a dj necklace !

Good product

Small format fits nicely in your pocket. Unfortunately, there's no cover for the plug-in end, so dust gets into the contacts area. At 256GB it's got plenty of capacity, and its also plenty fast. Overall, recommended!

Súper recomendado

Rapido

Pendrive espacioso, compacto, ligero, rápido y resistente. Lo llevo siempre en modo llavero para el trabajo y no me ha dado problemas nunca. Además es precioso. Por poner algo malo, la pintura se ralla un poco.

購入1カ月間の使用感を。 【耐久性】★★★★☆ USBメモリ自体としてはまだ会社で使う程度なのでそれなりに読み書き回数も少ないのでそれなりかなと。 外装に関してはスリムタイプなので仕方ない部分ではありますが挿入時のスレがあるので多少禿げます。許容範囲ではありますが。 【携帯性・操作性】★★★☆☆ 手持ち部分がリングみたいになっているので持ちやすさはあります。 携帯面では保護がないので保護するためにパックやケースは前提にはなります。 【性能面】★★★★☆ USB3.0としての機能があるので安定性・転送速度含めパフォーマンスはよいかなと。 特殊な使い方はしないのでベンチマークまではしませんが値段なりの仕事はしてくれます。

Great product! Tested it using a Thumb drive authenticity software and came back with 0 errors in both speed and capacity. Had some trouble connecting it to my laptop but apparently it was the port itself, Not the drive. Knowing the durability of the Gen 1 which I had on my keychain for almost 14 years I bet this will last just as long

Good quality

Excelente memoria, lo que mas me sorprendió fue la velocidad de escritura, ya estoy pensando en una memoria de 512GB, hice muy buena compra
