Kingston DataTraveler Max Type-A 512GB High Performance USB Flash Drive USB 3.2 Gen 2 Up to 1000 MB/s Sliding Cap Design DTMAXA/512GB

I use it for transferring video files and it works flawlessly and fast. The drive feels great and it is great quality but it is a little on the large size however it's 1 TB so it is worth the bigger size. Although the bigger size isn't all bad, I regularly have to plug it into my TV and the bigger size makes it easier to insert and remove it without being able to see.

Works great. Very fast, goes about 300 MB a second for 5 or 7 gigs then slows down to 100 MB a second. Fastest usb stick I have. The Bad: it looks really long and weird. I've been using it for about 3 years now so it seems pretty durable though.

Definitely does around 400MBps. Haven't had a chance to test out 3.2 gen 2x2 speed, 800-1000MBps. The cache seems to be around 5GB. It is lightning fast to about that amount and then slows down to about 80MBps if the file is bigger than 5GB. Based on info on the web, that is normal. When uploading big video files to it, it gets very warm but not unreasonably hot. Happy with it so far. If one is looking for a bigger cache, nvme's in a usb enclosure is the way to go. Movespeed has a flash drive with a much bigger cache but it is more expensive. For the price the Kingston datatraveler is great. All drives are slower when uploading many small files to it. The high speed is for few big files.

Very good USB drive. Fast and usable. The design is nice. Definitely my go to USB drive. Good price for the storage in my opinion. No issues with either of the ones I have.

you need to format the drive first. pretty nice quality, and fast transfer speeds. putting 5-10gb from the drive onto a pc takes a minute? maybe 2 at an average of 300 mb/s? instead of the 3.0 drive taking half hour+ at 10-15mb/s. its obviously more expensive.. but time is money! wish the stupid usb guard did something.

I just bought two USB Gen 2 sticks. One was a brand I had never heard of, so I wanted a name brand (Kingston or Samsung or Hynix) to make sure one wasn't terrible. Well the good news on my off-brand stick is it was way better than expected. But then I put in the Kingston. I don't understand how it is so fast. I expected the 1000 MB/sec to be balderdash because even physical NVMe hard drives - and I am talking the best - reach around 750 MB/sec. That excellent off-brand Gen 2 usb stick I had just tested (and expected to be slower than an actual NVMe CHIP drive) came in at 550 MB/sec and I was super pleased. My kingston stick - 995.88 MB/sec - how?!? Thats faster than hardware CHIP drives! More impressive was total lack of degradation in speed - for those who do not know, that fast speed is Sequential Read, the fastest operation for a usb thumb stick. random read, then sequential write, then random write always slow down - a *good* USB Gen 2 stick might throw up a 550 MB/sec Sequential read, and end with 300 to 325 MB/sec random write, the hardest category. This Kingstons scores - 995.88, 996.74, 947.90, and 927.01 - minimal degradation! instead of a 40 percent downspeed from highest to lowest scores, this was roughly only a 7 percent decrease - it can Write as well as Read like a champion! Flabbergasted, I did not research and saw "Kingston is a rare breed for it is the first thumb drive that integrates both SSD controller and USB interface in a single-chip solution". They call this tech DataTraveler Max - and it works!!! Only cons - the plastic case, which is great for a plastic case, is still a plastic case. Its highly durable, but that means increased heat trapped. Although I got a 512 GB stick... I'd watch the temps if I tried to copy a massive data load all at once. But yeah its twice as fast as I expected USB Gen 2 to even be capable of, faster that NVMe chip-based external hard drives, and its write speed is three times as fast as a good Gen 2 stick. Strong recommendation from expert user, one who has learned a lot from buying cheapo stuff and crying.

No matter the shortcomings of this flash drive, if you need to move big files around - this sucker is irreplaceable. -I don't mind the longer form factor of the drive but the port slide-out process is not smooth, and the overall plastic feels worryingly thin. See Admiral Ackbar for a size visualization. -I'm not sure why they went with this choice for the plastic (thin!) but possibly its for heat-dissipation reasons. This is not gonna survive many drops or squish-events in a computer bag. -The blue activity light is fairly dim and unobtrusive; all drives should have visual indicators, so that's a win. -Again, did I mention the speed? Even on an older Windows 7 computer (shh, don't tell Microsoft) this thing has zero hiccups. Files that previously took me 25min to move over, blaze over in less than 4 minutes. No idea how it does what it does, but golly is it welcome. -I've had good luck in the past with Kingston drives so I don't have any immediate concerns about reliability. -Comes formatted as exFAT, so it is already interoperable with other OSes. No frills, no software to install. 512GB model will show 476GB available for fillin'. TLDR, maybe don't keep this on a keychain that you drop a lot, treat it like a dainty mechanical pencil that you love.

A little pricey but worth it. I works very fast and the build quality is high. Meets advertised specs. Worth every penny. Better quality than competing products.

Review of Kingston DataTraveller Max 256GB purchased for €37.45 TLDR: banger value, great performance, easy recommend; just make sure to plug it in correctly. This USB Drive doesn't disappoint, it goes beyond the advertised max. sequential speeds by about 50MB/s, is compact and stylish, light, the plastic shell doesn't get hot (unlike the aluminium SanDisk drives), has an activity light, and is retractable. The advertising around USB 3.2 Gen 2 can be misleading because of the confusing USB spec. In this review I will use the old and clear USB spec without gens or 2x2s or whatever. The max advertised speed of this drive is 1000MB/s seq. read and 900MB/s seq. write which corresponds to the old USB 3.1 or 3.1 gen 2 or the new 3.2 gen2x1, not USB 3.2 or 3.2 gen 2x2 (see image table for what I'm talking about). The drive auto-negotiates to USB 3.1 (max. 1212 MB/s), USB 3.0 (max. 500MB/s), and USB 2.0 (max. 60MB/s) according to the port you plug it into (see CrystalDiskMark score images). Do note that if you don't stick it in perfectly (which can easily happen because of the retractable mechanism), it will safely negotiate to USB 2.0 speeds so it will still function but much slower than it can (see images for what I mean), so make sure to plug it in properly to get full speeds! Compared to my sandisk ultra flair (currently €21.99) which tops out at just 166MB/s seq. read and 27MB/s seq. write, it's easily worth the extra 15 euro for massively improved performance, so I can confidently say this Kingston is a genuinely great value for what it delivers. I'll be happy using it for my windows-to-go installation and can recommend it to anyone needing solid portable flash drive performance. My only gripe is I wish it had a better retractable mechanism or none at all so as to avoid bad inserts.
