These pen drives keep getting bigger, better and faster. I previously bought a 256 GB unit from this earlier Kingston line
Kingston Digital DataTraveler HyperX 3.0 (DTHX30/256GB)
. While I didn't run any benchmarks Ihis unit seems noticeably faster (I use both models on USB 3.0) and has twice the storage. Mechanically it seems better designed too. The last one had a big head so a couple times I walked by my PC when it was plugged in the front of and accidentally shoved the pen drive sideways. This bent the USB connector and eventually it started flaking out. This USB connector seems more rugged and solidary with the rest of the body.
One gripe with most pen drives, this one included, is it's easy to lose the cap if you carry the pen drive back and forth. There is no good solution, the kind with a retractable USB plug introduces more mechanical problems than it fixes. I would like to see a thin cord that ties the cap to the other end, which you can remove if you don't like. You can't improvise that yourself here as the cap doesn't have a ring like the other end.

It's a great PenDrive, but connected to a USB 3
It's a great PenDrive, but connected to a USB 3.0 port give all most the same speed that my old pendrive Kingston HyperX DT USB3.0. I make a benchmark with CrystalDiskMark 5.1.2 and the 4k Q32T1 test was very poor Read[MB/s] 6.846 and Write[MB/s] 0.032 I was disapointed, because the same test with my old drive HyperX DT was Read[MB/s] 8.706 and Write[MB/s] 1.123, this means that read or write, small files, under 4k files will take a long time with the HyperX Savage. But by the other side the test Seq Q32T1: Read[MB/s] 314.1 and Write[MB/s] 244.5, this means that the PenDrive will work good for large files of 1GB or more.

En moyenne, elle copie plus de 40Go en 5min, ce qui est excellent.
J'avais le modèle 64GB (acheté en 2017) mais il n'était pas aussi rapide. Ce modèle en 256GB est un vrai confort pour copier des films en 4K ou autres sauvegardes volumineuses...quel bonheur de copier tous ces data à la vitesse de l’éclair sans attendre plusieurs 10e de minutes.
La robustesse est la finition sont au rendez-vous également. Seul bémol, cette clé est un peu cher...mais, au final, vous ne serez pas déçu de votre acquisition puisqu'elle vous servira très longtemps.

A titolo di confronto ho allegato una foto della concorrente Adata UE700 da 128GB, e come si vede la kingstone e piu veloce, ma la Adata e gia allopera da anni, 2 per l'esattezza, e finora non un mezzo problema, inoltre le velocità di Adata sodo piu basse di fabbrica, e le rispetta in pieno.
Unico punto debole di kingatone, dove Adata vince alla grande, e la scrittura di piccoli file, tallone di Achille di tutte le unità.
Vedremo col tempo se anche Kinstone durerà nel tempo, ad ogni modo ha 5 anni di garanzia.
Altra nota positiva e l'estetica, molto bella.
NB: La chiavetta arriva formattata in FAT32 (ancora nel 2018??), la ho subito riformattata in NTFS, visto che la utilizzo con file di dimensione superiore al 4 GB, limite del file system Fat32
