First an salamander had swallowed Kingston USB stick somehow. Soon afterwards a bird ate the salamander. Then a sea-leopard ate the bird.
These strange circumstances were unearthed when sea-leopard excrement connoisseur had his hands hit on something hard while investigating a pile of droppings.
IT WAS A KINGSTON USB STICK.
It smelled bad but was cleaned with an cloth and plugged in to a laptop. It worked and all files were uncorrupted.

Now if only their USB """3.0""" thumb drives weren't slower than USB 2.0

I have that exact one. It's the only USB I've ever used that gets hot, too hot to touch even.

Most drives are really durable and could handle that kind of stuff. Kingston drives though have horrible speeds.

I got some because they were cheap and looked nice but they got hot really quickly AND THEN THEY ALL FUCKING DIED
February 13, 2019 - 17:48
if you fill up entire USB stick in one go, it will fry up because it cannot sustain the transfers for several minutes
HOWEVER reading from the drive will not destroy it, only writing will

The old 2.0 DT steel shell looked better than the new 3.0.
February 13, 2019 - 17:53
The USB 2.0 had the superior flat look. I don't even know what this new style is. A notch?
February 13, 2019 - 18:16
I have the 32g version but it died :(
February 13, 2019 - 18:19
What's the write speed on this thing? My DT SE9 is unbearably slow and I'm looking for a replacement

Ooof, you can make tea with those fucking usb drives. Just plop one in some water with a tea bag and you're disco.

Even reading causes the fucking thing to heat up like a nail through an eyeball.

>tfw you realize the name was originally supposed to be KingStone but due to paperwork error the e was left out and it became Kingston

February 13, 2019 - 19:02
no no no, the reason it became kingston is msdos filename limit of 8 letters + 3 letter file type identifier
(the 3 letter identifier is still in use 30 years later, for example .exe, .zip.. for some reason we lack the imagination of using modern identfiers like .3DMODELLEREXTENSIONFILEFORAUTODESKINVENTOR which is pretty self explanatory)

So wait, is the Kingston logo guy NOT supposed to be a funky rastaman?

This is more a problem with shit USB3 controllers that get hot than the disk-on-keys themselves. USB didnt have this problem

why does everyone hate 2.0 usb flash drives? are you really that impatient?
it's the read speed that matters, not the write speed especially if you plan on using it to keep files you will never delete

Had this (or one of the same design) on my keys for many years now. It has been a rough life for it but it has never failed me.

Yes we should have extensions such as: .ExecutableApplication .DynamicallyLinkedLibrary .PortableNetworkGraphic
This man is a computing genius and deserves a Nobel peace award.

I had many Kingston USB sticks fail on me but I never had SanDisk fail
