Fast enough transfers and i really like the aluminium or metal it’s made of, feels very strong. The little plastic bit at the end though doesn’t feel great, it’s slightly loose out of the box so could possibly come off if you actually used it on a keyring or something Review: Reliable and fast storage solution - I recently purchased the Kingston DataTraveler, and it has proven to be an excellent addition to my tech arsenal. It combines speed and security for a seamless data storage experience. The USB 3.2 Gen 1 technology ensures rapid data transfer, making it a breeze to move large files and documents. Whether I'm backing up important files or transferring multimedia content, the Kingston DataTraveler delivers impressive speed, saving me valuable time in the process. The sleek and durable metal casing not only gives it a premium look but also provides robust protection for my data. Its compact design makes it easy to carry in my pocket or attach to a keychain, ensuring that my files are always within reach when I need them. I appreciate the thought Kingston has put into security features. The drive supports password protection, giving me peace of mind knowing that my sensitive data is safeguarded against unauthorized access. This additional layer of security adds tremendous value, especially for those dealing with confidential information. The plug-and-play functionality is another standout feature. It works seamlessly with various devices, from laptops to smart TVs, without the need for any additional software installation. It's a true plug-and-play experience, which is perfect for users who want a hassle-free storage solution. It is also recommended by MSI to be used to Flash BIOS, which is originally what I purchased it for, although after realising how great of a flash drive it is, I now bring it everywhere with me. Will be interesting to find out how long it lasts before it begins to fail, being a capless design, dust and debris may get trapped within the USB port, although time will tell. In conclusion, the Kingston DataTraveler Kyson USB 3.2 Gen 1 Flash Drive is a reliable and high-performing storage solution. Whether you're a student, professional, or anyone in need of swift and secure data transfer, this flash drive is a fantastic choice. Kingston has once again delivered a product that combines speed, durability, and security, making it an essential tool in my daily tech toolkit.

For Windows, you're looking for "Bitlocker To Go", on Mac look for Encrypted APFS in Disk Utility, and on Linux, you're looking for LUKS. **Q: What happened to the full metal kingston usb sticks of this size? plastic is much less sturdy.** A: No idea but I have changed over to the Sandisk equivalent - slightly different shape but all metal and no cap. **Q: Has anyone used these drives with windows 7? thank you** A: With regards to your query, please contact us via the support page of our website. Your Kingston Team. **Q: What does that mean sajid jamil. Backwards compatible** A: Backwards compatibility ensures that a USB 3.2 drive can be used on a USB 3.0 or USB 2.0 port as they are physically the same connection type. Should you have any questions, please contact us directly via the support page of our website. Your Kingston Team. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great quality *by M***W on 22 March 2026* Does what it says really.

Highly recommended! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Cheap, but very slow write performance *by B***S on 8 May 2025* This review is for a Kingston Kyson 64GB USB stick, priced at under £7 delivered. Supplied in a retail packet, it is of a metal construction, although the metal is quite flimsy, unlike some others of a similar design I own. I doubt this would stand up to too much abuse, such as getting crushed in a tight laptop bag. Tested in a Windows 11 PC and a M4 based Mac, no issues were encountered from a compatibility point of view, and it comes preformatted with FAT32, so easily read by either OS without reformatting. After formatting, capacity is approx 57GB, and H2testw proved the capacity is genuine. My only slight disappointment is the write speeds are quite slow, under 20MBytes/s, nowhere near the claimed 60MB/s. Read speeds nearly matched the claimed 200MB/s at 186MB/s. Given the competitive price for a big brand 64GB stick, I think it offers good value, despite the slow write. ## Frequently Bought Together - Kingston DataTraveler Kyson USB 3.2 Gen 1 Flash Drive 128GB - Stylish Capless Metal Case - SanDisk 128GB Ultra Flair USB 3.0 Flash Drive USB stick, Memory stick with transfer speeds up to 150 MB/s, Password protection, Durable, Sleek Metal Casing Silver/Black --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.tn/products/246726709-kingston-datatraveler-kyson-usb-3-2-gen-1-flash-drive](https://www.desertcart.tn/products/246726709-kingston-datatraveler-kyson-usb-3-2-gen-1-flash-drive) --- *Product available on Desertcart Tunisia* *Store origin: TN* *Last updated: 2026-05-31*
