Kingston Usb 2.0 Flash Drives

I wanted to get a faster Flash drive than the USB 2.0 units I have, so I bought the Kingston unit because I have always had good solid reliability with my other Kingston products. This unit lives up to the quality and reasonable price I am used to having with Kingston products.

Kingston DataTraveler Exodia Flash Drives will accomodate a PC Backup Image as well as any and all necessary Files, and with up to 128 GB for less than $15 and 256 GB at $31 have a greater value, one we call USB 3.2. USB 3.2 is a sound Standard fully Backward Compatible but without earlier glitches in other products. Kingston assures Forward Compatibility with USB 3.2 Gen 1 Type-A at up to 10 Gbits/second or 1.25 GB/second delivering true Ethernet Connectivity. You're Good to Go with these Kingston DataTraveler Exodia Flash Drives.

Very fast. Usually usb 2.0 flash drives more than 8gb are very slow. But this being USB 3.0, even with 32gig capacity, is very fast. I copied an 800mb file and it just took about 12 seconds... Amazing. :)I would have loved it even more if it had a capless design.

Functionally speaking, there's nothing really extraordinary about these flash drives. They work as expected for USB 2.0 drives. They're a pretty good value for the price, though. What I do like is the sliding case, which eliminates the problem of the little caps disappearing. I wish the lanyard hole were a little bigger so I could put a key ring through it; but hey, life isn't perfect -- at least not in this world. I mainly use these drives for operating system installation images. Many motherboards won't boot from a USB 3.x port, making flash drives higher than USB 2.0 a waste of money. In addition, installation images are almost never more than 12GB at most (and usually are much smaller), so these drives are a good size for that mission. My other mission for these drives is as recovery media to boot sickly machines into a recovery environment from which they can be restored from backup. That also has to be done from a USB 1 or 2 port; so again, USB 3.0 flash drives would be a waste of money for that mission.

We are using a flash drive to store and playback videos on a portable projector. I tried with a USB 3.0 Flash Drive, thinking the newer version was better. But the projector had a different idea. I learned from the professionals at B+H that this unit requires an older USB 2.0 Flash Drive. I never would have thought of that but sure enough, when I used this Verbatim 64G Ergo USB 2.0, the projector recognized the videos and played them flawlessly.

Awesome, did the first backup in a fraction of the time required for USB 2.0 hard drives.

I've been buying Kingston flash drives from B&H for years. They aren't the fastest or the slowest but what they are is reliable. These check out just fine. Great drives!

I've used Kingston Data Traveler flash drives for many years and found them to be reliable is backing up data.

Fast, Fast, Fast...even on USB 2.0

Not the fastest, but that's what happens with USB 2.0
