    1 Star
    ERROR...ERROR...ERROR...
    What can I say, guess mine was a dud. I ran the usual test to verify capacity and speed and at first every thing seemed good. The available space and speed was right in line with a 64gb 3.1 flash drive; space 59gb, write 80mbs+, read 190mbs+ both exceeded what was written for flash drive capabilities, and then came the ERROR. I have tried to run this test at least 15 times the photos above being the last time. The flash drive has been formatted every which way (NTSF, exFAT, FAT32) just because. I tried to copy several different files and every time within seconds "error". checked my laptop found no faults or errors. I ran same test on several of my other flash drives and every single one completed test with no faults or errors. I copied the same files that caused error with "KingSton" flash to 3 of my other flash drives and each one ran smooth with no faults and no errors. The whole reason why I picked this unit in the first place is due to an article I had read about how reliable and consistent the performance of it was. I am going to see if Amazon will exchange and if that unit is working correctly, I will most likely update review to a 5 start. Other wise the 1 star will have to stand as the unit failed brand new and fresh out of the package.******************UPDATE*******************UPDATE*******************************UPDATE**********************Today (9/24/21) I received the replacement flash drive. This one did not even make it past 1min mark before throwing an error. I tried several time to format and run performance test and each time "error". The longest run was less than 2min. I tried to transfer several different files. Two of them where the same files that I had tried to copy to the first flash drive. Same issue as the first unit, unable to read from original folder or MS-DOS error. I figured some thing has to be going on with either my laptop or corruption in the files? I tried 3 different flash drives from 2 different manufactures both 2.0 and 3.0 usb and was able to copy and transfer all files with no issues. I used several folders with photos from different cameras in both jpeg and RAW format with no issues. I also copied a litter over 5k songs on to 2 of the flash with no issues. Installed the Kingston once again and sure enough only 5 photos where able to be copied all the rest just showed "error". Tried with the music and you guessed it, right around 3% complete and started saying unable to read from original file. By the time 5% was complete it was stopping on almost every song and after skipping about 10 or 11 songs I just hit cancel. Now these exact same files had all just been copied to at least 2 of the other 3 (only used 2 for music) flash drives I mentioned earlier. I really wanted this replacement to work because for the brief time when it is working the write speeds are anywhere from low 80s to low 90s. None of my other flash drives are even close to this speed of writing, but then again all my other flash drives seem to work every time I use them. At this point and time I have already requested a refund and will be sending this unit back tomorrow. Looks like the 1 star rating will have to stand.

    Update: I've been using these flash drives for 5 years now, and still my favorite! They are durable, easy to insert, and never had any problems. I will buy some more because they come in handy to have a few spares.

    These are my favorite USB flash drives. I've been using the SE9 G2 32GB for over a year now, and never had any problems getting Windows to recognize the drive or to transfer data. These tend to line up better and more firmly in the USB slots so they are easier to insert compared to other USB drives. The metal shell can take a beating, it doesn't crack like the plastic ones. These are tiny and look nice too.

    4.0 out of 5 stars Capless, No Protection
    Reviewed in the United States on December 22, 2018
    Verified Purchase
    Okay, it's a small USB drive, what's the big deal?

    First the positive. Kingston's a decent brand. The device is shorter than many others, but a little bit thicker and wider while still fitting alongside other devices in adjacent ports. The metal housing seems like it'll be robust (but it's too early to tell). Performance is acceptable for my purpose, which I'll describe later. The price is right.

    Then... I should have read the description more carefully because the device doesn't come with a cap or any other protection for the business end. I'd be more aggravated if I didn't have a few spare caps around.

    I bought a couple of these devices as 'panic boot' drives, insurance against SSD boot failures for a couple of desktop boxes in the house. When SSDs fail they tend to fail catastrophically so it's a good idea to plan for recovery BEFORE it's needed. My goal was to improve panic boot performance for periodic testing as well as actual use by moving from USB2 to USB3.

    (And that's why some protection of the business end is important to me: the device may sit in one place for extended periods gathering dust.)

    On one of the target boxes (motherboard: Gigabyte Z370 AORUS Gaming 5 rev. 1.0) this device fulfilled its goal exactly as planned.

    On the other target box (motherboard: (Gigabyte GA-Z97X-UD3H rev. v1.2) it didn't quite work out. This Kingston device would not boot on this box in any port - USB3 *or* USB2. Perhaps the motherboard is just too old for this device's on-board controller. Perhaps it's a BIOS bug. Other, older USB devices will boot this motherboard just fine. And this Kingston device works perfectly in this motherboard for non-boot purposes. More investigation is needed.

    If you're buying for the same purpose as I was then you might this info to be useful.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Great Buy, Kingston comes through once again!!!
    Reviewed in the United States on October 10, 2015
    Size: 32GBStyle: DTSE9G2Product Packaging: Standard PackagingVerified Purchase
    Kingston has always made excellent drives, and this one is as superb as all the others! Fits very nicely on my key ring, and is exceptionally light in weight, considering it is in a metal case! I needed something lightweight that I could carry anywhere, and since I handle a lot of large video files often, I also needed something with good storage and fast speed. This fits the bill perfectly!

    I ran speed tests on it using a couple different programs, in my USB 3.0 ports it was reading at about 115MB/s...writing at 56MB/s, which is perfectly reasonable. All these tests I ran with the factory format, which is FAT32 with 32kb allocation size. When I plugged it in my USB 2.0 ports, it was reading about 27MB/s, writing 22MB/s. Those speeds outperform both my PNY, Sandisk, and HP drives (I've had several different models of each), as far as USB 2.0 goes.

    The two primary complaints I heard were problems with overheating and slowing of the copy speed, and issues with the internals falling out. I haven't had any trouble with it overheating, even when copying a 2.5GB video 10 times repeatedly. However, I haven't had it long enough to comment on the internals separating from the case, but if they do, Kingston offers a 5-year warranty, so no worries there!

    All in all, excellent drive at an even better price.

    I've had this flash drive for several months and use it almost everyday to back up my files. It has performed very reliably so far -- no data loss! :D I've used Kingston products for over 2 decades. RAM, flash drives, and memory cards from Kingston are very, very reliable in my experience.

    The read/write speeds are quite good. This is a USB 3.0 flash drive, which means it will take advantage of the [MUCH] higher bus speeds of a USB 3.0 port. FYI: the theoretical peak speed for USB 2.0 is 60 MB/s (480 mbps) and the theoretical peak speed for USB 3.0 is 640MB/s (5gbps). (Keep in mind these are THEORETICAL values!)

    More important than speed, Kingston media has proven time and time again to be one of the most reliable media money can buy.

    ---
    Last word: there are MANY counterfeit products for Kingston, SanDisk, and other brand names. Make sure to get yours from a reputable seller like Amazon, even if it means paying a little bit more. YGWYPF.
