Kingston DataTraveler Exodia M USB Flash Drive - 128GB

This Kingston flash drive initially worked fine, but once it was just over a third full, the copy speed plummeted to practically zero. PBTech quickly sent out a replacement (great service!), but it had the same problem. The 32GB and 64GB Kingston DTXM flash drives I bought at the same time all work perfectly fine, so if you need 128GB of storage, get two 64s.

This USB drive is painfully slow. USB 3.2 is a lie, more like USB 2. It takes hours to transfer a 2GB file. I will never buy a Kingston product again. Good price though.

This protects the USB plug by sliding part of the body forward, meaning you cannot lose the cap.

Well, this is a Kingston, so it works fine, is reliable and robust.

It says "USB 3.2" and I have not done read/write tests, just be aware the interface is USB 3.2, it will not achieve anywhere near those transfer rates. This protects the USB plug by sliding part of the body forward, meaning you cannot lose the cap.

Confirming the review above, initially it works "great".... trying to copy a few GB of data and initially starting ok (estimated time was "4 hours" but...well, ok-ish), then after about 30 min the progress basically stopped and showed 14 hours left... cancelled the job, tried to copy just a few files (about 300MB) speed was down to a crawl, took over 1 hour to get barewly half way.
I guess you get what you pay for... beware and stay away from this drive.

I tested this at 100MB/s read speed which is decent but only 15 MB/s write speed which is very slow. I would get something faster. I tested this at 100MB/s read speed which is decent but only 15 MB/s write speed which is very slow. I would get something faster.

It is a good and cheap usb key.
128gb was my minimum.
It was used mainly to install win11 and all the drivers/software for my new built.
I haven't faced any compatibilty issue and performance is good. Kingston is an old and good brand.
I am happy of my purshase and pbtech. It is a good and cheap usb key.

This is a nice flash drive that was at a good price on sale. It gets the job done as a high capacity flash-drive. Although speed is not my concern, I can see why someone who need high speed drives would invest more money in a faster Flash drive. This is a nice flash drive that was at a good price on sale.
