DataTraveler 70 128GB USB-C drive

The Kingston DataTraveler 70 provides 128GB of portable storage in a compact USB-C form factor. It suits users who need to move files between modern laptops, tablets and phones that only offer a USB-C port. The drive is new and ready for everyday document, photo and video transfers.

Sustained transfer behaviour

The drive uses the USB 3.2 Gen 1 interface, so sustained write speeds will settle at the bus limit once the internal cache fills. Large batch copies will run slower than the initial burst but remain consistent for the duration of the transfer. Thermal throttling is not a concern with this form factor.

USB 3.2 Gen 1 practical limits

The USB 3.2 Gen 1 connection caps real-world throughput at the 5 Gbps signalling rate, so actual file speeds stay well below the theoretical maximum. Cable quality and host controller implementation introduce further overhead. The 128GB capacity fills quickly with high-resolution media, requiring regular offloading.

Questions about this item

How much power does the DataTraveler 70 draw from the USB-C port during sustained transfers?

It runs entirely from the host USB-C port with no external adapter needed, so power draw stays within standard USB 3.2 Gen 1 limits.

Does my laptop need a USB-C socket to use the DT70/128GBCR?

Yes, the drive has a fixed USB-C connector, so the host must provide a USB-C port or a USB-C to USB-A adapter.

Will the 128GB DataTraveler 70 work at full speed on an older USB 3.0 Type-A port via an adapter?

Using a USB-C to USB-A adapter limits the connection to USB 3.0 speeds, which match the drive's USB 3.2 Gen 1 rating.
