Slim Specs Table

Swift File Transfers for Daily Use

This flash drive utilises USB 3.2 Gen 1 technology. It delivers read speeds of up to 220 MB/s and write speeds of 100 MB/s. These figures allow for quick movement of large files, such as video projects or raw photo batches. Because the interface is backward compatible, it works with older USB 2.0 ports, though at lower speeds. In practice, this reduces waiting time during routine backups.

Durable Capless Metal Design

The drive features a solid metal housing in a dark nickel finish. This material protects the internal components from everyday knocks and scrapes. A capless form factor means you do not need to worry about losing a small plastic cover. The integrated key ring loop lets you attach it securely to a lanyard or key set. Consequently, it remains accessible and ready for use on the go.

Broad System Compatibility

The Kingston Technology DataTraveler 64GB SE9 G3 – Dark Nickel supports a wide range of operating systems. It works natively with Windows 10 and Windows 11, including Enterprise and Pro editions. Mac users can utilise it on macOS Ventura, Sonoma, and Sequoia. ChromeOS is also supported. Because it uses the standard USB Type-A connector, verify your device has a matching port before purchase.

Compact Form Factor for Portability

With a width of 12.2 mm and a depth of 39 mm, this drive is exceptionally small. It weighs only 5 grams, making it virtually unnoticeable when attached to a key ring. The 4.6 mm height ensures it sits flush against the port without obstruction. This minimal size is ideal for users who travel frequently or work in tight spaces. However, the small profile means it can be easily misplaced if not secured.
