Review: Super speedy but check your USB port specification if you don't get the advertised speeds - I bought this USB-A drive to to be able to fully test USB 3.x cable bandwidth and needed to make sure that the drive was as fast as advertised. This is where it is important to know which ports on your PC are which and what the fastest ports are. I have a Gigabyte X570 motherboard with a variety of different USB ports, some on the rear I/O shield and some exposed on the front panel via internal USB3 headers and more with an aftermarket USB/card reader in a 5.25" drive bay but using USB3.2Gen1 header so limited to 5GB/s *ALL* of my front USB 3.0 ports are 3.2Gen1 meaning they max out at 5Gb/s or around 640MB/s - well short of the advertised max speed of this drive. In practice, even connected directly to the rear USB3.2Gen1 ports, the max bandwidth is less than the theoretical maximum and I got around 446MB/s sequential reads and 403MB/s sequential writes on the Gen1 ports. - see first screenshot. To fully get access to all the DataTraveller Max drive's speed potential you must use a USB3.2Gen2 or higher specified port. On my Gigabyte motherboard, these are coloured RED on the rear I/O shield and connected to that port, I got over 1020MB/s read and 879MB/s write speed. (see second screenshot) From early testing this is the fastest drive I have using USB and should allow me to test the cables I want to test. I agree with other reviewers that the slide mechanism is a bit faffy but disagree that a cap would have been preferable as I've seen caps get lost and the slide mechanism at least means it is permanently attached. For the price, this is definitely the fastest portable storage I own and I'm happy to recommend it.
Review: READ / WRITE SPEED IS GOOD - I have had a few Kingston USB drives in the past and to be truthful, was never very happy with the write speed, read speed was Ok, so this was a surprise, on benchmark testing using USB 3.2 Gen1 port , read 420Mb/sec. write 409Mb/sec. In real life testing, witting to the Kingston Data Traveler Max from USB 3.2 Gen1 port, video file of 5.59Gb returned a speed of 331Mb/sec. and took 18 seconds, in all fairness this is very good, Went onto copy some work files 9.86Gb (12680 files) I knew this would be a lot slower, jumped around a bit but under 6 minuets at around 29Mb/sec. average, My old stick was around 8Mb/sec. so lots faster for small files from what I am use to. Got 5 stars from me

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Can this drive be password protected?**
A: On Linux it is very easy to use password protection at the software filesystem level with LUKS. A layer on top of an encrypted virtual filesystem such as gocryptfs, etc. is also an option.

**Q: Does this eject from context menu like regular flash drive, or must you use systray?**
A: Acts like typical usb drive for me when I write click within file explorer with eject option.

**Q: Does it come formatted?**
A: It did not require formatting when I purchased it to use with an iMac running the Mac OS operating system.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ READ / WRITE SPEED IS GOOD

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good for its budget: High speeds/Poor build
*by V***I on 29 May 2025*

The speed are indeed as advertised (~1000MB/s Read and ~900MB/s Write) used through Thunderbolt4 connector (which is backward compatible to USB 3.2 Gen2, that was advertised on the product's page) — that's highly satisfying! Of course, the storage is again enormous for its money. Not particularly easy to use, though, mainly because my type C ports are located at the back of the laptop, and the drive in itself is long. On the other side, as noted in numerous reviews on amazon, which also resonated with my personal experience of use — the build is awful, like it seems an unreliable piece of plastic, especially with this sliding to-and-fro feature, that can break anytime even with light use. This is what happens with a lot of customers: the drive breaks after 1 year or 1.5 years of infrequent use. Also, it becomes really warm during use, as said by other users, too. So, generally this is exactly what I needed: cheep and cheerful device with high speeds and huge storage, although not the best build. Still, for future I will be investing more money in reliability of a flash drive with my vital data (never use only one storage for all your important information).
