KingstonDataTraveler 80 M USB-C 3.2 Gen 1 - 200 MB/s 256 GB - DT80M/256GB

After scrawling across many usb sticks and just trying to find good value for money I came across this Data traveler one and so far it's been pretty good for the price you pay.Use it every now and then and no drop in quality, it's not the fastest or the largest storage space but you get great value for the low price. It definitely does it's job well enough.

Love the price to performance not to mention the size. For 256GB for less than £18 it was a cheaper alternative to SanDisk which the build quality yes it's a lot more durable but however this is quicker with usb 3.2.Great portability with the hook for strapping to a lanyard or I've done a keyring to my phone. Originally bought this to offload my concert videos saving my phone space but it's just so handy and speed is incredible for the price I fully recommend for anyone

Technically, yes, it does reach the quoted write speed - but only for a second or two for large files. After that the data transfer rate drops dramatically and crawls. It should be ok for transferring relatively small files, e.g. jpegs, but larger video files may take longer than expected. Read speeds are fine.On the plus side, it was cheap, small and light, so as it is always useful to have a thumb drive of this capacity I will hang on to it. I'm just aware of its limitations.

This is a little bigger than expected. I have other usb drives that are much smaller. Beside that it is a great drive. The main body plastic feels a litle cheap and there is a blue sliding cover which moves forward to protect the usb c connecter. Only time will tell how reliable it is.

No issues at all. Very fast USB drive

I bought this for backing up photos and videos taken on my phone, as well as transferred to the phone from camera SD cards, when I'm away on trips and vacations. It's a good size for popping in the backpack and 128GB is more than enough for my uses. And it worked well on an Android phone, an iPad iOS tablet and a Windows laptop PC, so seems compatible with most all the devices I use on the move.

this drive become unreadable, reporting as Phison controller chipset but cannot be recovered in either windows or linux…including with specialist flash recovery tools.out of return window.junk.

Good little drive, not sure why so many negative comments on this front.Had purchased another brand which got dangerously hot so went for known high st brand.Reason for low score is every time I try and drag an MP4 video of over 5GB (only just over 5GB) it say file to large?! Had same issue with 3rd party drive so not sure if this is common design fault.Transfer speed is a little sluggishOverall ok product for price, like the way it can go on key ring without usb c fitting sticking out of the housing
