Product identity

The Kingston DataTraveler Exodia Onyx is a 256GB USB 3.2 Gen 1 flash drive built for everyday file transport. It suits students, office workers and anyone needing a simple, portable way to move documents, photos or videos between computers. Buyers who require hardware encryption or rugged waterproofing will not find those features here.

Build and connector

A matte black plastic casing gives the drive a low-profile look while the integrated sliding cap shields the Type-A connector from dust and pocket lint without a separate lid to lose. The built-in loop accepts a key ring or the supplied lanyard, so the drive stays clipped to a bag or keys and is less likely to be left behind.

Bundled extras

An OEM lanyard is included in the package, letting you wear the drive around your neck or secure it to a backpack strap for immediate access. No software utilities or encryption tools are bundled, so the drive works as a standard mass-storage device on any system with a USB port.

Questions about this item

What real-world transfer speed does the USB 3.2 Gen 1 interface cap at on this 256GB drive?

The USB 3.2 Gen 1 interface supports up to 5 Gbit/s signalling; actual throughput depends on the host controller and file sizes.

What physical space does the drive need to fit alongside other ports?

The matte black casing uses a standard Type-A plug with a moving cap; allow roughly the width of two adjacent USB-A ports when the cap is open.

How do I attach the supplied lanyard and what is the common mistake?

Thread the lanyard through the built-in loop on the drive body; the mistake is forcing the loop onto the moving cap instead of the fixed attachment point.
