The Kingston DataTraveler Kyson USB 3.2 Gen 1 Flash Drive is a capless metal Type-A flash drive built for people who move files frequently and need a reliable drive that attaches to a keyring. It delivers up to 200MB/s read and 60MB/s write speeds over USB 3.2 Gen 1, making it a practical choice for transferring photos, videos, music and documents between devices.
Why this product
Up to 200MB/s read speed
USB 3.2 Gen 1 interface delivers up to 200MB/s read and 60MB/s write, keeping file transfers quick whether you're loading or saving content.
Capless metal design
The all-metal body has no cap to lose, and the compact form factor — just 39mm long and 4g — keeps it light in a pocket or bag.
Functional loop for keyring carry
A built-in loop lets you attach the drive to a keyring or lanyard so it stays close at hand wherever you go.
5-year warranty with free technical support
Kingston backs this drive with a 5-year limited warranty and free technical support for the life of that coverage.
Broad OS compatibility
Works with Windows 11, 10, macOS 10.15.x and later, Linux 4.4.x and later, and Chrome OS out of the box.

Best for
- Frequent file movers who need fast read speeds to load or play content directly from the drive without long waits.
- On-the-go users who want a lightweight, keyring-friendly drive they can attach to keys or a bag and always have available.
- Multi-platform users who switch between Windows, macOS, Linux and Chrome OS and need a drive that works across all of them.
- Long-term storage needs backed by a 5-year warranty and free technical support from Kingston.
Trade-offs
- USB-C only devices — this drive has a Type-A connector only and will not plug into USB-C ports without a separate adapter.
- Write-intensive workflows — at up to 60MB/s write, tasks that involve constantly writing large files will be slower than on higher-write drives.
- Capacities above 256GB — this product is available only in 128GB and 256GB options; larger storage requirements are not covered.
