## Description

256GB DataTraveler Micro 200MB/s Metal USB 3.2 Gen 1

Review: Reliable - This review is for a Kingston DataTraveler USB drive, 256GB. This device is tiny. It fits snugly in the USB port. It has a metal cover. I have been using this extensively since I bought it back in May. The drive is good. I have had no issues with it at all. The transfer speeds are acceptable, they are not the best but they are what you would expect from a device of this size and type. It never gets too hot, it can get a little warm but that is normal. It works perfect on Linux and Windows. I use it to transfer files between computers and OS'es, and it works great with both, it is universally compatible. It stays securely in the port when plugged in, and is easy to remove too. This has so far stood up to regular use and has proven to be reliable after over 6 months of daily use. I highly recommend this, it's good quality and while it is a little pricey, it's worth every penny. You are getting what you pay for. Even though, I still recommend regular backups just to be on the safe side. Never get complacent with your data.
Review: Small but powerful - Really impressed with the flash drive. I am using this to record dash videos from my car. Unlike other cards that I had tried before, it has worked really well. I haven't had any issues with the quality of the videos get stored. This is great piece of kit. Once, plugged in to the port, it is hardly visible. The metal casing makes the product sturdy.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great quality, fast and full metal.
*by G***R on 4 January 2026*

Bought to fit in a BambuLab H2S printer as the port is in the top. The reason I used this one is because it's a very short USB stick, which makes it less likely to catch / break it in the port. It's made fully of metal, and Kingston have always been very good quality.
