The Kingston DataTraveler SE9 G3 is a 512GB USB flash drive for people who need portable storage for documents, photos, music and other files. Its Type-A connection suits laptops and desktop computers with a compatible USB-A port.

It combines a compact metal casing with USB 3.2 Gen 1 performance, reaching up to 220MB/s read and 100MB/s write. The 512GB capacity gives you room for larger collections of files, while the casing’s loop makes it easy to attach the drive to a keyring or bag.

Compatibility

Connect it to a compatible USB Type-A port. Kingston specifies compatibility with Windows 11, macOS 13.7.6 or later, Linux 4.4x or later, and Chrome OS. The USB 3.2 Gen 1 standard supports signalling up to 5Gbps, though actual file transfer speeds depend on the host hardware, software and usage. Good to know: the drive uses a USB Type-A connector, so devices without a matching port need a suitable adapter, which is not included in the listed package contents.
