Kingston DataTraveler Exodia DTX/256GB Flash Drive USB 3.2 Gen 1 - with Protective Cap and Keyring in Multiple Colours

Picked up the Kingston DataTraveler Exodia 64GB as a backup drive for transferring files between work and home, and it’s doing exactly what I need it to. Speeds are decent for a USB 3.2 Gen 1 – nothing mind-blowing, but fast enough for documents, media files, and the occasional larger video project. Definitely better than older USB 2.0 drives. Build quality feels solid. It’s lightweight, but doesn’t feel cheap. I like that it comes with a protective cap (which actually stays on) and the keyring loop is a nice touch – makes it easy to attach to my bag or keys so I don’t lose it. I also got one in a different colour to easily tell it apart from my other drives. Simple idea, but super useful. No issues with compatibility so far – worked plug-and-play with Windows, Mac, and even a smart TV. Great little drive for the price if you just need dependable storage on the go.

These are excellent memory sticks at a decent price.

Cheap and work, only thing i would say is they are slower then advertised.

256GB used to be a good sized hard drive - now available as this tiny device. I worried about some odd messages on a pc so backed up it's 100+GB's of files, pictures and downloads on this . It took about one hour in total but worked perfectly and I feel this provides an excellent extra back up very cheaply indeed.

Great value for money since it costs almost the same as 128GB versions there. Not the quickest, but definately has good transfer speeds so you wont get old waiting for the files to transfer.

In perspective - the RAW write speed of these memory stick is under 20GB an HOUR, well under in slower/usb2 hardare. Thats poor for USB2 let alone USB 3.2. Useless for TV record/timeshift or game saves Not putting much effort into review as Amazon seems to be deleting evidenced reviews critical of its 'preferred suppliers. After finding the other budget Kingston sticks slow but useful, I thought these would be the same speed .. but slimmer - Ohh NO. They are slimmer - but even slower write speed than the already atrociously slow slide cover kingstons. Only 6.5-8.5MB/s write depending on port and format (see other review) barely more than half the wrote speed of the atrociously slow other Kingston sticks. ** 5.5MB/s on dual core USB2 hardware. This is on large file sequential copy to empty stick - the fastest its going to get writing to the sticks - Random writes to a stick with stuff on far far slower. Advertising the others as USB 3.2 was questionable - with these they are taking the micky. Others were acceptable at price. Wouldn't recommend these even though they are cheap. You'll think the write to these sticks has failed they are so slow UPDATE After only loading some stuff on for occasional use (training vids) came to add a few more and the copy failed and its now reporting as read only. Nothing I do can fix it (and i'm IT technical) Can still watch the existing stuff - so i dont think its fake memory - its just really bad quality. This deserves minus stars

I needed an affordable way of storing nearly half a terrabyte of photographs and videos, and so chose to purchase two of these Kingston USB sticks. They're of sturdy construction, with a connector cap which clicks firmly into place. The stick is also a nice size; not too big, but not so small that you could drop it and never find it again! By default they come formatted as FAT32, but I easily reformatted mine to the NTFS File System so that they could store files greater than 4GB in size. The speed of transferring data is a little on the slow side, and it took a good few hours to fill a stick, but I know Kingston is a reliable brand and would choose reliability over speed every time. I'll certainly be buying more.

Excellent quality

Le due pen-drive si presentano solide, veloce, con cappucci ben saldi. Le velocità di lettura e scrittura non lasciano affatto a desiderare: per un backup completo (da circa 30GB) ci ha impiegato circa 10-13 minuti. Fin'ora, non presentano alcun tipo di difetto, ma con Kingston si può stare sicuri sulla qualità delle memorie. Consigliate, ottimo rapporto qualità-prezzo.

Not yet used, but the item is genuine, received it on time and at a good price.

the USB speed is very slow. disappointing. 100mb/s going down to 40mb/s.

Fantastic USB Flash Memory, works 100%, well made, great price.
