  • PositiveInexpensive and fast enough for everyday use
  • Negativeonly up to 2 TB
  • NegativeAlmost at the bottom of the league in terms of speed

With a measured read speed of 1,008.52 MB/s, the Kingston is not the slowest drive tested, but it is definitely the cheapest. Its speed clearly outperforms conventional USB sticks and hard drives. If you are looking for an SSD for occasional backups or Time Machine and are not dependent on record values, this is the right choice...
