A simple budget flash drive. It has decent speed. Currently, the price is very attractive; I bought it for 500 UAH in 2018. The casing is not metal. It heats up during use. There is no protection for the connector.  Reverse_rain: use Kingston DataTraveler 100 G3 64Gb more than year |
Плохо то что почти все продавцы впаривают её как USB 3.0. Неплохая форма для тех кто любит Флешки средних размеров. Это не USB 3.0, а совместимое с USB 3.0 устройство со скоростью работы не выше чем у USB 2.0. Тест CrystalDiskMark показывает скорость записи не более 7мб/с, хотя должна быть выше в разы. Artem: use Kingston DataTraveler 100 G3 week |
плохой продукт умерла через 18 дней, раньше всегда нахваливал кингстон, теперь всем говорю что это фигня. Жаль не сохранил упаковку, теперь по гарантии менять отказываются. Покупал не на розетке.
Не быстрая максимальная скорость 8,7 мб/с Минусы: оказалась не надежная через 18 дней определялась как 0 байт. удобна(не теряется колпачек) оказалась не надежная через 18 дней определялась как 0 байт. |
Robust case
The body of the Kingston DataTraveler 100 G3 is made of matte fine-grained plastic with the Kingston logo on the front. The design of the flash drive is quite strict and minimalistic, but aesthetically distinct and nice, associated with a business style. The DataTraveler 100 G3 does not have a protective cap for the USB connector, as it is equipped with a sliding mechanism with automatic locking in the closed and open position. The only thing you can find fault with is a rather wide body, which can make it difficult to access other USB ports on a computer or laptop.
High write speed
When using USB 3.0, the Kingston DataTraveler 100 G3 has quite interesting speed ratings: 130 MB / s for reading and only 10 MB / s for writing. This is a tangible difference that would be worth worrying about if the synthetic tests didn't paint a different picture. In CrystalDiskMark, the flash drive averages 155 Mbps and 60 Mbps for read and write, while in ATTO Disk we see figures at the level of 150 MB / s and 70 MB / s. This model is also compatible with USB 2.0.
One of the best inexpensive flash drives
This speed allows you to quickly transfer large files from a flash drive and back, such as Blu Ray rips of new blockbusters for viewing on TV. All this makes the Kingston DataTraveler 100 G3 one of the best low cost alternatives to external hard drives for backup storage.
The speed is quite decent, not a rocket-drone, but it’s enough for my tasks. In tests, it shows a write speed of 17-18 MB/s and about 84 MB/s when reading from it, which is very good for a 6-year-old flash drive.
I really like the design. In previous flash drives, I constantly lost the caps on the contacts, but here there is a slide mechanism. Although it does not prevent dirt and dust from getting into the connector, so be careful when carrying the flash drive in your pocket or if it has been lying on the table for a long time, as something might get in there.
When writing, the plastic casing noticeably starts to heat up. By the way, unlike most flash drives on the market, this one does not have a write LED.
Can I recommend it? Yes, absolutely. I don’t know what people do with flash drives here in the reviews that they die on them; I assume there is a significant amount of defects. I have encountered memory cards from Kingston that just died after a few months of use. But my unit is fine, it has been working since 2018.
