Kingston 64GB DataTraveler Elite G2 Black Metal Casing Fast 180MB/s R, 70MB/W USB 3.1 Flash Drive with LED light indicator (DTEG2/64GB)

This 64GB thumb drive was a good bargain. I like the solid feel of the case. Nice that it has a textured surface and a slight rise at the end — helps get a sure grip on it. I'd buy another.

Very nice drive. I can copy large files to it at least ten times faster than the one I replaced! Metal housing has a high-quality feel (although I scratched the paint just by dropping it, so it may just be "feel" :)) and there are no useless frills.

Good size, good shape, narrow so doesn't pose problem for inserting other plugs alongside. Seems reasonably fast transference of docs. Probably good enough for five stars, but lost one for what I now see as a design fault, namely the drive has a cover over its interface which detaches from the stick when you need to use the drive. Perfectly fine if you don't lose the cover. I have never lost a cover until this one, and now I realize why covers should be attached to jump drives.

I was reluctant to pay that much for a single USB flash-drive and it was much higher storage capacity than I needed, but reviews and recommendations were excellent. It seemed to be "the leader of the pack." I bought it to replace a package of cheap multi-colored flash-drives which were very defective, resulting in some loss of data attempting to use them to transfer files, plus multiple attempts to "check & repair" them failed because they kept getting corrupted. I ended up dumping them. This one is very solidly built, more so than any other I've ever had. It has worked flawlessly so far. It appears to be a classic case of getting what you pay for. No regrets and I expect to get many years of reliable service out it.

This is an excellent flash drive for electronic storage. The capacity is more than sufficient for my needs. Plus it is light-weight and easily carried in a purse or pocket. My previous experience with Kingston thumb drives has always been favorable. Works well.

When you store irreplaceable files you want to be sure it won't end up getting corrupt on a bad drive and this is a very good quality thumb drive. If the cap fit on the opposite side while you were using it then it would be perfect. You have to pay attention where you set it when your working.

just got my drive today, and my first impressions are how heavy it is, and the level of quality is very surprising. This is a far cry from those old plastic ones. The metal appears to be of good quality and the file tranfer speeds were very fast. 1GB took about 10 seconds, maybe less. Totally impressed.
