512 GB USB 3.2 Gen 1 flash drive

This Kingston DataTraveler Kyson provides 512GB of portable storage in a compact Type-A form factor. The metal capless casing removes the risk of losing a cover, while the integrated loop lets you attach the drive to a key ring or lanyard for everyday carry.

Capless metal design with integrated loop

The single-piece metal shell eliminates a separate cap, so nothing can be misplaced during use. A built-in loop adds a secure attachment point for keys or bags, making the drive easier to keep track of when moving between devices.

200 MB/s read and 60 MB/s write speeds

Sequential read performance reaches 200 megabytes per second, while write performance is 60 megabytes per second. These figures determine how quickly large media libraries or project folders can be copied to and from the drive.

Questions about this item

Does the metal casing on the DataTraveler Kyson need any special care to prevent scratches or corrosion over time?

The capless metal case is designed for durability and eliminates the risk of losing a cap, while the lightweight 4g build reduces physical stress on the USB port during daily carry.

At the rated 60MB/s write speed, how long can the drive sustain transfers before thermal throttling reduces performance?

The drive delivers up to 60MB/s write speeds and 200MB/s read speeds via USB 3.2 Gen 1, with the metal casing acting as a passive heatsink to manage temperatures during sustained file transfers.

How much does the drive heat up and how much power does it draw when plugged in continuously for all-day file access?

Weighing just 4g with dimensions of 3.9 x 1.26 x 0.49 cm, the capless metal design dissipates heat efficiently during operation, drawing power directly from the USB-A port without an external adapter.
