Review: READ / WRITE SPEED IS GOOD - I have had a few Kingston USB drives in the past and to be truthful, was never very happy with the write speed, read speed was Ok, so this was a surprise, on benchmark testing using USB 3.2 Gen1 port , read 420Mb/sec. write 409Mb/sec. In real life testing, witting to the Kingston Data Traveler Max from USB 3.2 Gen1 port, video file of 5.59Gb returned a speed of 331Mb/sec. and took 18 seconds, in all fairness this is very good, Went onto copy some work files 9.86Gb (12680 files) I knew this would be a lot slower, jumped around a bit but under 6 minuets at around 29Mb/sec. average, My old stick was around 8Mb/sec. so lots faster for small files from what I am use to. Got 5 stars from me
Review: Good usb for djing - Great USB, worked especially well for Rekordbox and djing, much faster 4k random write speeds.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Can this drive be password protected?**
A: On Linux it is very easy to use password protection at the software filesystem level with LUKS. A layer on top of an encrypted virtual filesystem such as gocryptfs, etc. is also an option.

**Q: Does this eject from context menu like regular flash drive, or must you use systray?**
A: Acts like typical usb drive for me when I write click within file explorer with eject option.

**Q: Does it come formatted?**
A: It did not require formatting when I purchased it to use with an iMac running the Mac OS operating system.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good usb for djing
*by J***R on 3 February 2026*

Great USB, worked especially well for Rekordbox and djing, much faster 4k random write speeds.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good for its budget: High speeds/Poor build
*by V***I on 29 May 2025*

The speed are indeed as advertised (~1000MB/s Read and ~900MB/s Write) used through Thunderbolt4 connector (which is backward compatible to USB 3.2 Gen2, that was advertised on the product's page) — that's highly satisfying! Of course, the storage is again enormous for its money. Not particularly easy to use, though, mainly because my type C ports are located at the back of the laptop, and the drive in itself is long. On the other side, as noted in numerous reviews on amazon, which also resonated with my personal experience of use — the build is awful, like it seems an unreliable piece of plastic, especially with this sliding to-and-fro feature, that can break anytime even with light use. This is what happens with a lot of customers: the drive breaks after 1 year or 1.5 years of infrequent use. Also, it becomes really warm during use, as said by other users, too. So, generally this is exactly what I needed: cheep and cheerful device with high speeds and huge storage, although not the best build. Still, for future I will be investing more money in reliability of a flash drive with my vital data (never use only one storage for all your important information).
