Portable and easy to use. The sliding mechanism that covers the USB connector works well. You can attach a strap to it if you want to, but it is not included.

The Read and Write performance of this unit is about 40% of the more expensive units, but it’s more than adequate for the playback of HD video files. Blackmagic Design’s test shows 110 MB/s Read and 24 MB/s Write rates. Sandra tests at 1550 IOPS with FAT formatting and 522 IOPS when reformatted with exFAT. It works great as a large capacity file sharing device.

For less than $4.50 this is the best USB flash drive I have been able to find anywhere. I was able to load a 25GB video file in 21 minutes. Hard to beat.

This is a great moderate size USB thumb drive for storing photos for quick access and sharing files between people where a USB port is the common point of reference for multiple users.

OK product. Slides in and out nicely. Cheap, brittle casing likely to be damaged easily. Otherwise, it works.

I recently purchased a number of Kingston 16 GB Data Traveler 100 G3 USB 3.0 Flash Drives. I take pictures for a church group and can share the photos with my friends. The price per drive is less than $4 each. Great value for the money. I would buy again.

I needed some inexpensive flash drives to hold videos of grandkids concerts and sporting events. DVDs and Blu-Ray discs are apparently out of style. These flash drives do the job. To use them to hold large video files they need to be reformatted to the exFAT standard rather than the as received FAT32 standard or files 4GB cant be written to the device. The sustained write speed is ~30MB/sec which is adequate for the purpose. I have successfully played the videos back on a Sony 4K TV and the computer. These flash drives do the job & are reasonably priced, so I recommend them. I saw no reason to give more stars.

This is exactly what I’ve been looking for to ship large video files to my clients, at a low cost.

I thought I had ordered 4 32 gig drives. Imagine my delight when I found these were 64 Gig each. While the regular price was not bad, the sale was really a treat

Excellent Writing speed. Very Satisfied

Purchased on the deal zone, I use the 32GB Date Traveler to share photos. I have no complaints about the speed and at such a low cost I am not concerned about family and friends returning them in a timely manner. Also these flash drives are great to carry in my laptop bag.

Very handy if you need to multiple a project of some reasons. Cheap and works well.
