Immediately Corrupted
on September 22, 2023

I bought this flash drive and started moving files from my PC to it as a backup. Very shortly into this process the drive started having issues with duplicate files and ended up freezing up my whole computer. After it was unfrozen I lost access to the drive. It would show up in my devices as "unspecified" but there was nothing I could do to access the drive even after troubleshooting. I hope it starts randomly working one day but until then I can't recommend.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Logical Drive Firmware
on November 24, 2024
Posted by: MR B
The firmware on this chipset forces Windows 7/10/11 to see it as a Local Disk, not a USB Drive. This makes it unusable in some specific applications where you must write to a removable disk only. I have found no method to "flip bit" this drive to USB. Being completely inflexible as a USB disk makes this unusable to many IT professionals when needed in the field.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

All and all the drive is ok. There are a couple things I don't care for. 1. the loop where you can add a key chain ring to it is flimsy, I wouldn't trust it not to break. 2. The base of the unit is to wide to hook to my cell phone with the case on it. The drive I lost ( Not a Kingston) because of the flimsy plastic place for the key chain ring was small enough to connect to my phone without removing the case. I bought it to keep on my person at all times but I have decided to put it in the puter bag and keep looking for a suitable drive.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Web site was the most difficult online purchase ever. The site used google address to make my purchase next to impossable, as it changed my correct address to anothrr zip code or state. I spent less time finding items.

Works perfectly with both of my laptops! I needed an adapter for my older one, but that’s not Kingston’s fault; plenty of storage space too

Bought to use as EVGA storage for my Xbox One. No problems installing it AMD downloading games to it. Games are playing very well from the drive! The casing is a little thick and I had to use the back USB port instead of the side port.
I would recommend this to a friend!
