Kingston DataTraveler Micro 256GB USB Flash Drive | Ultra-Small Premium Metal Design | USB 3.2 Gen 1 | Speeds up to 200MB/s | DTMC3G2/256GB,Silver

I’ve had one of these on my keys for a couple years now and I can’t recommend it enough. It’s very durable and very compact, I’ve never had it malfunction in the years I’ve been using it. It may not be the fastest drive but compactness and ruggedness is why you buy this flashdrive. I work in industrial automation and I always am making backups and transferring programs from one system to another. This keychain flashdrive has saved my bacon more times then one. I also keep several of my favorite movies on this flashdrive which you can then plug into the back of any smart tv and watch anywhere. My only recommendation to Kingston is to beef up the metal body end of the USB A- plug as it has deformed inward on me slightly a few times, nothing that couldn’t be straightened out easily with a flathead but I’d like to see it’s end look straight all the time and not have to worry about it before I plug it in. I hope Kingston will release a durable all metal keychain version of their dual end usb-A and usb-c flash drive soon as some laptops only support USB-C nowadays. But for now this works great for 95% of my needs. Can’t recommend enough!

Why did you pick this product vs others?: This is exactly what I need. I am often on the run and my other USB drives all broke. I always keep a small USB drive on my keychain and it's nice to have a small compact thumb drive that is durable and won't break. Durability: My previous USB thumb drives were all plastic shells and where I'd put them on my keychain...that part would often snap off. This thing is solid as a rock and has had no issues. I love it and it's super tiny on my keychain.

This is a very compact drive that I attached to my car keys with critical files to always carry with me in an emergency. I am not a "prepper," but having lived in areas that were prone to some catastrophic events like hurricanes, forest fires, and tornado I learned that a few simple preparations can make your life easier if you have to evacuate an area with little notice. Having important files with me is one of those simple things that matter if you need it.

I bought it to hold a lot of data and because it is metal, it is very sturdy and able to attach to my house/car ring with no worries about damaging it. Hooks up to computer easily. Speed is fast enough for my purposes. Size holds far more data than I need. The cloud is the big back up for most folk. I'm old school, and like something I can hold...just in case.

Works great to store IT tools on my lanyard ring. I keep various hard drive utilities and testing software along with ISO's for possible reinstalls. Plenty of space for what i need.

Most certainly NOT USB 3.2 speed. Very slow. But very unobtrusive. Place a couple on your keyring and your won't even know they're there. If you want fast, cheap and metal check out the Samsung Bar Plus units. Twice the length, but small enough and they fit nicely on your keychain as well.

I like the compact size.

I use the 64gb and never had an issue and so far I've bought several (ten or so?) over the years from different accounts before making one solid account specifically for Amazon. Transfer speeds could be better. It's like old LAN, the more data you transfer, the slower it will end up on (8mb/s) but I've never had one fail abd I've never had stop transferring which is more than 100% of all external drive cables I have tried.

Great product! Great size for key chains!

Lekker compact en stevig.

Bought a pair of these to replace / increase my previous plastic 64 Gb thumb drives. Nothing to complain about. Note: The picture shows 64 Gb, but the product is in fact 128 Gb.

Bra byggkvalitet, metall överallt och spricker inte som konkurenternas plast motsvarighet gör.

Une clé USB absolument géniale. Sa taille minuscule est parfaite pour ceux qui recherchent une solution de stockage compacte. Elle se glisse facilement dans n’importe quel port USB sans gêner les autres appareils branchés, et se fait quasiment oublier une fois connectée. En plus de sa petite taille, elle est vraiment robuste grâce à son boîtier en métal qui la rend résistante aux chocs et à l’usure. Avec une vitesse de 200MB/s en lecture, elle est également ultra-rapide, ce qui la rend idéale pour transférer rapidement des fichiers volumineux. En résumé, si vous avez besoin d’une clé USB à la fois compacte, solide et performante, la Kingston DataTraveler Micro est un excellent choix. Elle combine praticité, durabilité et rapidité, tout en restant discrète.
