These are perfect for saving Windows 10 Restore Start Up files!

These are perfect for saving Windows 10 Restore/Start Up files, which need a minimum of 8GB. I figured, for the money, these 16GB are a pretty good value...they're over the size, but other important files could be stored as well. I just keep this in a safe place for each computer. Thankfully, I haven't needed to use any of them yet since Windows 10 (August 2016 and later) works great with no major problems thus far.

Couldn't ask for more from a flash drive (except NTFS formatting out of the box!)

Great flash drive, transfers data very fast via USB 3.0 ports Pros: - Extremely light - Visually appealing - End piece slides back and forth to hide/reveal USB connector - Seems very sturdy compared to most flash drives on the market Cons: - Comes formatted as a FAT32 drive, limiting you to transferring files 4GBs or smaller. Support of larger files requires that you reformat it as a NTFS drive. Not a huge issue as this takes only seconds to do yourself within Windows (not enough to dock a star).

They work

Gotthese to put operating systems on so I could try them out before I picked one, and to show my father-in-law the better OS's. These are great for this sort of use. After I will use them for pictures, etc on trips. I would say that Kingston is a good name brand and they have never let me down in the past.

I am giving this product a one out of five ...

I am giving this product a one out of five due to perceive false advertisement. No matter how much I format this device and it always give a full 32 gigabyte versus the 64 gigabyte it was manufacture as. Either I get response from the seller or I am refunded this product. I paid for what I have asked and I expected both the manufacture and the seller to hold there end of the bargain. I have attached a picture and the Drive letter for this device is G; as you can see I am getting a 32 gigabyte not the 64 gigabyte as advertise! Update: I just received my replace and it is showing the correct space amount. I am guessing the previous thumb drive, it fell through the crack of quality assurance department. So I am changing the 1 out of 5 to 5 out of 5.

A very reliable product

I use these flash drives for system backups. We have a wide range of systems, and they all recognize this size and brand. More memory is great, but not all computers will work well with the larger sizes. I've had great results using the Kingston brand.

Great price and performer

Price keeps going down and this is a great value. Recorded large amount of files for mailing to family and it wrote with no problem. Not much different than what I used before but I am happy at the size and value.

lovely little USB

the geek in me wanted to go bigger, because why not. but the realist in me said no, because id never need it. didn't even need one this big, but it was a great price, and you never know IF you'll need it. so its nice having a large one around just in case.

A cheap 3.0 usb thumb drive

I got this guy as a back up to a must more expensive Kingston I got a while ago ( yes i have like 4 thumb drives/ dropbox/ google drive all to back up work and school research/ etc) This unit works great for most user, the only knock on the unit is not that important but needs to be said, its read and write speeds are slower then the more expensive Kingston thumb drives. However again most people will be ok with the slower drive as long as its not used for something like a media server stick ie play movies in HD off of. in saying that i really have not had a problem with speed for any of my uses including as a media stick. Pros: Price, name brand, would buy again Cons: read/write speeds ( not a problem for most users)

Groovy

Bought 7 of these for various use purposes e.g. OS installer/booter, run ESXi, live OS, etc... Solid product worked as expected on Windows and Mac, priced right, recommended!!! Tested read speed 124MBps, write between 19MBps to 24MBps. It took approximately 10 minutes copied 13GB file onto USB stick. Copied from USB stick to Windows desktop took less than 2 minutes.

Sleek case and worked very nicely for what I needed it for

My thoughts: Item looks like images posted and fits sellers description. I purchased this to do a systems backup for my new laptop. It works great. The casing is sleek and looks high end. It fit perfectly and functioned well. It is small and easy to store. I like the sliding cap design very much. It helps protect it very well. Mine worked great and I didn't find it that slow. The whole backup was done pretty fast, of course I didn't time it, but It didn't take very long. I personally am very pleased with it and found fr what I needed it fr it worked great! That is all I will be using it for too though.
