Type-C and Type-A Data Traveler Max
on April 2, 2025
Posted by: ChiMary

Verified Purchase:Yes
I purchased the Type-A Data Traveler Thumb Drive thinking it also had the Type-C capability. It didn't, however, I then purchased the Type-C Traveler Thumb Drive which I needed. However, I can use both -- one on my personal computer and laptop and the other on my work laptop. Either way these are awesome, I like that the piece that you plug in can retract when not in use and I LOVE the upgraded memory. Awesome product.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Not up to Kingston Standards
on February 2, 2025

Verified Purchase:Yes
Title states type a and type c; but no adapter for using it with type a connection; plastic construction is average quality and mechanism to move the contact in or out is an effort. Storage part is good
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Works but with Open and Close Issues
on February 1, 2025
Posted by: Pops
Verified Purchase:Yes
Works as advertised. Only issue is the 'slider' function to open and close is not very easy to use.
I have an older version from about 10 years ago and the function of the 'slide' was not improved in 10 years.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Copies and stores data lightning fast and has as much space as one of my computer hard drives. I'm very happy with this purchase!

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.

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.
