If the price is right, the Kingston Datatraveler Max easily fulfils the requirements of most users. I can therefore recommend the USB stick without reservation for relatively light tasks. I also like the way the cover snaps into place. However, if you are looking for a stick that is fast for really large files, you should look for a different model.

  • PositiveVery good price-performance ratio
  • PositiveVery high data rate

  • NegativePlastic housing

The largest USB-C stick in terms of storage size and housing size is the Datatraveler Max from Kingston. Compatible with the USB 3.2 Gen 2 standard, the Datatraveler Max is more akin to an SSD drive than a USB stick. Kingston promises an unprecedented speed of 1,000 MB/s read and 900 MB/s write for a USB stick...
