Kingston Exodia S 128GB
Score: 61/100Rankings
The Kingston Exodia S 128 GB USB 3.2 flash drive offers a budget-friendly, keyring-loop design with broad OS compatibility and a 5-year warranty, but its real-world transfer speeds are modest and the plastic build feels less premium.
The Kingston DataTraveler 100 G3 128 GB offers solid read performance and a convenient sliding cap, but its write speeds and random performance are extremely low, making it best for occasional read-heavy tasks.
