I purchased this flash drive to go with my new HP Envy 15, which has USB 3.0. This video review goes over the build quality and the speeds I got using several different testing methods. Watch the video for the specifics.
Conclusion: T
This is a great flash drive if you have USB 3.0 and will be transferring very large files, such as .iso and large videos.
It's not worth the money if you If you still have USB 2.0, or if you have 3.0 but only transfer small files. However, if you are willing to put up with files writing slowly to the drive, and you are transfering the same small files from the drive to many computers, this will work for that.

My best friend purchased a new Kingston DataTraveler HyperX 128 gigabyte Super Speed USB 3 thumb drive for me yesterday and he selected overnight shipping. I received it today and it is certainly larger and thicker than a standard USB 2 thumb drive. I use Ubuntu 10.04.3 64 bit GNU/Linux and the reason why I told my best friend to purchase the Kingston is because they guarantee it will work with Linux kernel 2.6.x+. I used TrueCrypt AES-XTS mode 256 bit key strength with SHA-512 hash algorithm to format it to the /ext4 file system. I only transferred 12.6 megabytes worth of confidential data files and folders to it from my Ironkey USB thumb drive and it was certainly very fast. I have an ASUS N61JV-X2 notebook PC with Crucial 8 gigabytes of DDR3 PC-8500 1,066 MHz SODIMM SDRAM and an Intel 2nd Generation MLC NAND FLASH X25-M 160 gigabyte Solid State Drive. I transferred some folders and files to the Kingston and I am getting speeds slightly in excess of the maximum speeds possible using...Read more

I have been using this thumb drive for a few days. I have copied a bunch of stuff to and from my WD USB 3.0 backup drive. It is by far the fastest thumb drive I have had yet. Read and write speeds fluctuated based on the file types I was copying which is expected. The drive housing is a little bigger than what I'm use to but it hasn't caused an issue yet. Over all, it seems like if you want speed from a thumb drive, this is the one to get.
