Perfect

  • price quality
  • small
  • extremely fast
  • Not the cheapest, but those looking for quality have already earned the extra costs.
Kingston has stood for quality for me for years. This was the reason for me to choose Kingston again for external memory. The only point could be that the USB cable could be a bit more flexible. Not a problem for me, but for someone who always takes it with him in the laptop bag it could be a bit difficult (a lot of bending and kinking with the risk of breaking the cable?). I have a Linux system, so I don't need backup software. This could be a reason for people who work on other systems to choose another brand. Kingston is known for its compatibility, so it will be recognized by any operating system. In short: a conscious choice for value for money

Happy with my purchase

  • Fast
  • Small
  • USB-C to USB-C cable included
  • No US
Works like a train. Plug & play in my case, which is nice, because I don't feel like delving into formatting and compatibility. From my Android mobile to the Kingston SSD (USB-C to USB-C cable included) and SSD with Windows PC also works smoothly and quickly (NO USB-C to 'regular' USB-A included! But they have the most people are already in the drawer). As it seems now, no unexpected hassle as I had with another SSD from another well-known brand. But maybe that will come? Anyway, very pleased so far.

I haven't had this ssd for long, but it works fine and fast for now. The brand is reliable from experience, so I assume that this is the case now too.
