Kingston DataTraveler Exodia DTX/256GB Flash Drive USB 3.2 Gen 1 - with Protective Cap and Keyring in Multiple Colours

Picked up the Kingston DataTraveler Exodia 64GB as a backup drive for transferring files between work and home, and it’s doing exactly what I need it to. Speeds are decent for a USB 3.2 Gen 1 – nothing mind-blowing, but fast enough for documents, media files, and the occasional larger video project. Definitely better than older USB 2.0 drives. Build quality feels solid. It’s lightweight, but doesn’t feel cheap. I like that it comes with a protective cap (which actually stays on) and the keyring loop is a nice touch – makes it easy to attach to my bag or keys so I don’t lose it. I also got one in a different colour to easily tell it apart from my other drives. Simple idea, but super useful. No issues with compatibility so far – worked plug-and-play with Windows, Mac, and even a smart TV. Great little drive for the price if you just need dependable storage on the go.

Great value for money since it costs almost the same as 128GB versions there. Not the quickest, but definately has good transfer speeds so you wont get old waiting for the files to transfer.

Cheap and work, only thing i would say is they are slower then advertised.

256GB used to be a good sized hard drive - now available as this tiny device. I worried about some odd messages on a pc so backed up it's 100+GB's of files, pictures and downloads on this . It took about one hour in total but worked perfectly and I feel this provides an excellent extra back up very cheaply indeed.

Good size and quality, Handy for my requirements

I bought this pendrive thinking it would be great for transfering large files around. In theory it is because 256GB is a substantial amount of storage space for a USB drive. Sadly, the performance is so poor, you wouldn't want to use it to transfer anything but the smallest files you have, which defeats the purpose of it being 256GB. When copying gets started you think it's going to be okay and then very shortly after you get trapped in a loop of going up to 47MB/s for a few seconds and then back down to 355KB/s, where it spends even longer. This cycle continues for the duration of the file and then on into the next and subsequent files in the queue. The short video I attached was a snapshot of moving 1.5GB files from an M2.NVMe SSD to the USB plugged into a USB 3.2 port, you can clearly see this loop in action. I don't know what chipset or technology is inside this drive but it's clearly broken because performance issues are commonly reported with this Exodia drive. It's the first time I have bought a Kingston USB drive and it's not a mistake I will be making again. It does seem quite a durable pendrive as it survived being thrown across the room into a wall... and that was without the protective cap attached. I certainly wouldn't recommend this drive to anyone.

128GB used to be vast, maybe not so these days, but it's still plenty. The one big problem with this type of storage is speed, yes they seem fast at first, but they do slow down, big time as they fill up. Talking of filling up, unfortunately, the UK has been flooded with fake drives in recent years with drives often having a fraction of their stated capacity, and even worse, much much worse, as they get close to their true capacity, they self corrupt and your data goes to Hell. Well, I filled this USB drive with 128GB (or the humanoid equivalent) of goodies and can confirm that the drive sent to me is definitely the real deal. It's a good brand and sold at a good price, so it's a thumbs up.

Not yet used, but the item is genuine, received it on time and at a good price.

the USB speed is very slow. disappointing. 100mb/s going down to 40mb/s.
