    I have had it for 2 years and it has not caused any problems, except that a few months ago it locked on its own and I cannot install or format anything else

    Although I have had it in my hands for a few days, one cannot say that I have a complete opinion! It depends on the work that one uses it for! I only use it as a Bootable for the operating system! It does its job just fine! I don't know if it's reliable, but the program that "wrote" it with the operating system files didn't take too long, I would say! It seemed fast to me! For my own use, I believe it is excellent! If it withstands time and doesn't "hang" on any format, then it will truly be worth it! 5/5 from me!

    EEE wake up it's not the USB stick's fault, it's a computer issue. If it's fast, both the USB stick and the Windows 10 will work fine because it has fast speeds. I've been experimenting for years, I've done thousands of experiments. These are for information purposes

    It reaches unacceptable speeds. I bought it for USB 3.0 and its speeds are 5-6 MB/sec. I connected another USB 3.0 to the same port with the same file and it reached 45-50 MB/sec. Truly a waste of money. And no, it's not a coincidence because I returned it and they gave me another one with the same warranty and it does exactly the same thing.

    I bought it for 5 euros. The speed on USB 3.0 reached 8.5 MB/s for a .pdf file, but for a small .ppt file it was sometimes 0.8 and sometimes 2.1 MB/s. I do not recommend it for storing large files.

    I tested it on Linux in FAT32 format.

    Kingston G3 100 (the black one, the one that slides up)
    Sample Size 10.0 MiB (10485760 bytes)
    Average Read Rate 212.5 MB/s (100 samples)
    Average Write Rate 29.4 MB/s (100 samples)
    Average Access Time 0.29 msec (1000 samples)

    Kingston DataTraveler G4 15GB
    Sample Size 10.0 MiB (10485760 bytes)
    Average Read Rate 106.7 MB/s (100 samples)
    Average Write Rate 7.4 MB/s (100 samples)
    Average Access Time 0.42 msec (1000 samples)

    And since I have the Sandisk Ultra Flair 16GB USB 3.0
    Sample Size 10.0 MiB (10485760 bytes)
    Average Read Rate 133.9 MB/s (100 samples)
    Average Write Rate 42.1 MB/s (100 samples)
    Average Access Time 0.93 msec (1000 samples)
    All of these in FAT32 (so they can be read everywhere, car radio, windows, linux, hifi, etc.)
    Also tested all with SSD256 Samsung Evo 750 Laptop, 1600mhz ddr3 8gb_
    The Sandisk was underestimated because it had files inside (it's quite fast, I would say)

    I went down to the center of Athens, ruined a morning of my life, to buy 4 of these. The worst purchase I have ever made. and all 4 have a max transfer rate of 6MB per second, while USB 2.0 flash drives achieve double the speed. I wish I could sue them. Pathetic

    I was offered a replacement for another one that burned out and was still under warranty. Of course, I took it without hesitation because I hold KINSGTON in high regard. Unfortunately, this particular product is well below average. In terms of quality, it is dangerously cheap, especially the strange plastic drawer that the port slides in and out of, which I don't see having a long lifespan and it's only a matter of time before it becomes loose. However, the real disappointment comes with file transfer, which is painfully slow. Possibly the slowest flash drive in the 3.1 category! A true letdown for KINGSTON and its specifications. There are much better options available at the same price. I do not recommend it

    Very fast in data transfer, as I used it seamlessly for storing Blu Ray movies. Average copy speed at 11.1 MB/s. (Lowest speed at 8.30 MB/s). Durable and very good build quality. In terms of price, it is one of the best USBs I have ever had in my hands. The only negative is the absence of a light indicator to notify the completion of file transfer.

    Very slow when it comes to data transfer, only 26000Kb/s compared to Intenso Slim Line which is at 60000. The reading speed is close to 100000Kb/s for both. The measurements were taken on a USB 3.0 port using the USB Flash Toolkit.

    Mediocrity for my own tastes.
    On the positive side, it is durable as a dog.
    Its biggest negative is that it is one of the slowest USB 3.0 devices on the market.

    I have this specific flash drive since 2014 and everything works perfectly. I was amazed yesterday because by mistake, it went into the washing machine along with my pants and it didn't suffer any damage at all!!! I really can't believe it yet.
