Kingston DT111/32GB 32GB USB 3.0 DataTraveler 111 USB Flash Drive

Comment:
The true rating for this device is a 1 star not a 3.Due to the fact that I bought it instore I was not able to leave a lesser rating than a 3 star.P.O.S.! Will not buy Kingston data travelers again.Bought a Kingston 16gb 2.0 usb data traveler which was very affordable and compact that failed on me after 2 months of owning.Was told by NCIX staff that sometimes flash memory fails due to technology so I dismissed the failure.Then bought Kingston DT111/32GB 32GB USB 3.0 DataTraveler 111 USB Flash Drive on sale at very good price and had it fail on me after a few months with very little use. Had extended warranty which got me a replacement but had to pay another 6 bucks to get another extension warranty on the new one.Now the new one has failed again after another 6 months which means I cannot rely on the Kingston company for flash drives. I have a Adata that I store in the same place that still works after 2 years so I would think storage practice is not the issue.I have Kingston Blu Black ram in my computer, I can only hope that they are better at the ram game.

I always buy kingston, needed to replace a thumb drive, this one came up at a decent price. It's not noticeably faster than a USB 2.0 drive, but it was worth it.

Comment:
good reliable drive from trusted brand kingston

anyways, kingston is a good name so when these went on sale, I picked up 2 for office backup.It's usb 3 but it's maximum read/write speeds are only modestly faster than usb 2 in this model.for me, what's worse is the lack of a led light. It means I don't really know when data is finished being written to it.For my usage as a backup drive; not bad; but although I was thinking of getting more, I will probably bypass it.Satisfactory and meets expectations (barely) is how I would grade it.

I needed more storage for transporting files around for work. Works great, The speed of this usb is not as fast as the higher end usb 3.0 flash drives, but for the price you cant go wrong for a 32gb usb drive.

Comment:
Works great but just wished the cap was designed better, very easy to lose as you can't even attach it to the back of the stick

Comment:
I don't have USB 3.0 to test this stick, but it works great as any other USB for a 2.0 stick. I use it in place of burned DVDs for installations onto my netbook (for example operating systems).I also use it to store video files. Great buy and of course very portable.

Kingston, the name speakes for it self, well built reliable unitscon: can die at any time, never trust 100%great for useing as a boot drive with all the suppory drives & progams. If I in something portable for movies or photes I go with a small hard drive

Great little flash drive for the sale price, as long as the drive you are dragging data from is SATA 3 it's superfast.I'll never buy another that isn't USB 3.0, and this Kingston won me over

Bought this to store the backup image for my laptop on it. It's got glacial read/write speeds, but it does the job well. Overall, if I had to buy storage, I'd probably forgo the USB key and just buy SD cards.

Comment:
Decent little flash USB drive, and when PM'ed it offers good value & performance for the money. Would buy again.

I bought this on sale for $20, and at at that price I think it's a great deal.It reads and writes very quickly through USB 3.0, limited only by the speeds of my old-fashioned platter drives. Transferring ISOs and backup images to and from computers is extremely quick, now.No real cons since this is just a basic USB stick.
