These are my favorite USB flash drives. I've been using the SE9 G2 32GB for over a year now, and never had any problems getting Windows to recognize the drive or to transfer data. These tend to line up better and more firmly in the USB slots so they are easier to insert compared to other USB drives. The metal shell can take a beating, it doesn't crack like the plastic ones. These are tiny and look nice too.
First the positive. Kingston's a decent brand. The device is shorter than many others, but a little bit thicker and wider while still fitting alongside other devices in adjacent ports. The metal housing seems like it'll be robust (but it's too early to tell). Performance is acceptable for my purpose, which I'll describe later. The price is right.
Then... I should have read the description more carefully because the device doesn't come with a cap or any other protection for the business end. I'd be more aggravated if I didn't have a few spare caps around.
I bought a couple of these devices as 'panic boot' drives, insurance against SSD boot failures for a couple of desktop boxes in the house. When SSDs fail they tend to fail catastrophically so it's a good idea to plan for recovery BEFORE it's needed. My goal was to improve panic boot performance for periodic testing as well as actual use by moving from USB2 to USB3.
(And that's why some protection of the business end is important to me: the device may sit in one place for extended periods gathering dust.)
On one of the target boxes (motherboard: Gigabyte Z370 AORUS Gaming 5 rev. 1.0) this device fulfilled its goal exactly as planned.
On the other target box (motherboard: (Gigabyte GA-Z97X-UD3H rev. v1.2) it didn't quite work out. This Kingston device would not boot on this box in any port - USB3 *or* USB2. Perhaps the motherboard is just too old for this device's on-board controller. Perhaps it's a BIOS bug. Other, older USB devices will boot this motherboard just fine. And this Kingston device works perfectly in this motherboard for non-boot purposes. More investigation is needed.
If you're buying for the same purpose as I was then you might this info to be useful.
I ran speed tests on it using a couple different programs, in my USB 3.0 ports it was reading at about 115MB/s...writing at 56MB/s, which is perfectly reasonable. All these tests I ran with the factory format, which is FAT32 with 32kb allocation size. When I plugged it in my USB 2.0 ports, it was reading about 27MB/s, writing 22MB/s. Those speeds outperform both my PNY, Sandisk, and HP drives (I've had several different models of each), as far as USB 2.0 goes.
The two primary complaints I heard were problems with overheating and slowing of the copy speed, and issues with the internals falling out. I haven't had any trouble with it overheating, even when copying a 2.5GB video 10 times repeatedly. However, I haven't had it long enough to comment on the internals separating from the case, but if they do, Kingston offers a 5-year warranty, so no worries there!
All in all, excellent drive at an even better price.
The read/write speeds are quite good. This is a USB 3.0 flash drive, which means it will take advantage of the [MUCH] higher bus speeds of a USB 3.0 port. FYI: the theoretical peak speed for USB 2.0 is 60 MB/s (480 mbps) and the theoretical peak speed for USB 3.0 is 640MB/s (5gbps). (Keep in mind these are THEORETICAL values!)
More important than speed, Kingston media has proven time and time again to be one of the most reliable media money can buy.

Last word: there are MANY counterfeit products for Kingston, SanDisk, and other brand names. Make sure to get yours from a reputable seller like Amazon, even if it means paying a little bit more. YGWYPF.
