Cheap

SLOW!!!

This drive does not perform as advertised at all. USB 3.2 Gen 1 is supposed to be capable of speeds up to 4.8Gb/s but realistically you would only see about 3.2Gb/s. HOWEVER! This drive maxes out at a mere 80Mb/s or 10MB/s as Windows reports it. Even if I didn't know the difference between Mb and MB neither measurement is anywhere near the advertised read/write speed.

Extremely low price, especially if purchased on sale. Read speeds are good enough to use as a utility drive with Ventoy or similar.

Write speeds are worse than USB 2 max even on a USB 3 port. Would not be usable as a general transfer drive. If you aren't in a rush or you have data you read often and seldom update, the poor write speed might be worth the cost savings.

It was cheap. It fits a USB Type-A port.

These are SLOW. No activity light.

Bought a couple of these on sale. They do seem to work, but are VERY slow, even in a USB 3.2 port.

I guess it was cheap?

The main issue is that it will start off with a lot of steam and even hit 19MB/s but then repeatedly stall for 5 to 10 seconds at 0Bytes/s. Each time it jumps up to 19MB/s you hope it will keep going, but it just stalls after a few seconds and repeats on and on making you wish you had never gotten the piece of junk.

Watching this drive get even a Two GB file written to it is like hearing the little train that could story as a toddler. It's painfully slow but once it is over you never want to hear/see it again. Really disappointed even though I got it on sale for $10 I expected more from a Kingston product.

Not as good as tests two weeks ago on a similar Exodia 32 GB drive. During continuous writing, this 64 GB drive writes at 5 MB/s for about 15 seconds and then stalls for 8 seconds, in a repeating pattern, averaging a lousy 3.4 MB/s overall. The 32 GB drive wrote at a steady 10 MB/s. The 64 GB average read speed was 24.7 MB/s, which is only 2/3 of what USB 2.0 typically does, and not even close to USB 3.x speeds. The 32 GB drive was over 33 MB/s. It's like they have completely different controller chips inside. There were no errors on a full write and read back of pseudo-random data. You get the storage you paid for but ... slowly. The previous 32 GB sample was definitely worth five stars; this 64 GB sample is a big disappointment.

Actual capacity is 57.62 GB, as compared to the nominal or advertised 64 GB.
