Customers are dissatisfied with the USB connector of the flash drive.

Extremely fast but unnecessary bulky
4 Stars
Extremely fast but unnecessary bulky
I purchased this flash drive because of the amazing reviews on the internet.Good: I tested and it gives extremely fast speed with file transfers. The speed given by the manufacturer is accurate. It has an LED light that is extremely useful to know when the drive is being accessed. I added a picture to show the blue LED in action (another reviewer said that the LED was missing but mine was not missing).Bad: The flash drive is unnecessary large compared to other flash drives. It is pretty lengthy and is not comfortable when adding to my key ring because it is longer than my other keys (door/car). Please keep this in mind when purchasing.

5.0 out of 5 stars 4.5 Stars; Incredibly fast but could use minor improvements
Reviewed in the United States on July 21, 2022
My drive definitely gets the advertised speeds on USB 3.2 GEN 2 port. On a 3.2 Gen 1 port, I get about half the advertised speeds. Still very fast for a small flash drive. Also works well on my phone. This flash drive does get fairly hot, but that's to be expected because of it's fast transfer speeds.

I bought this product for around $38. At that price, it was only about $8-10 dollars more when compared to other big name brand 256gb USB C flash drives, but you get much faster speeds. At $38 dollars, I think this drive is fantastic, but I don't think I would buy this product again unless it came back around or below $38.

Minor complaints:
I wish the case was made out of metal rather than plastic. For a drive that's supposed to retail for $63 dollars, you would think it would have a more premium finish. A metal case would also help transfer heat more effectively than plastic.

Also, the design of the case could be better. When the USB plug is sheathed, the plug is still exposed on the back. They really should have designed it so the plug is fully covered when sheathed.

Lastly, I wish the USB plug was extended slightly so I could use this flash drive with certain phone cases. Most phone cases will not allow you to fully insert this drive. You will either need to remove your the case or buy a new one that has enough room to insert the drive. (I wouldn't really consider this a design flaw or proper complaint but it would be a nice QOL improvement).

1.0 out of 5 stars Unreliable at best, could make you loose your files at worst.
Reviewed in the United States on December 3, 2023
Used this flash drive for less than a month to back up photos and music for Apple devices (non-expandable media for the lose). Just the other day it spontaneously disconnected while I was using it and now it's not detectable by any of my devices. And of course, the return window closed YESTERDAY. So I have no recourse but to try to go through Kingston's Warranty service to maybe get some of my money back.

Why did I wait a few days before checking the return window? Because I liked this thing. It was really fast and had lots of space, and I thought I'd be able to use it for years. Hoping I can get something back from this, but I'm probably out the $90+ dollars I spent.
