Our Verdict
The Kingston DataTraveler 256GB is a capless USB 3.2 Gen 1 flash drive whose sliding design means there is no cap to lose. Kingston's DataTraveler listing has more than 248,000 Amazon ratings at 4.4 stars across capacities, a very deep reliability record. Its read speeds are lower than the Samsung BAR Plus or SanDisk Ultra Luxe, which matters when copying large video files but not for documents and photos. Kingston backs this model with a 1-year warranty, shorter than the 5 years from SanDisk and Samsung. Choose the DataTraveler for a simple 256GB drive from a well-known brand; for faster reads and a longer warranty, the Samsung BAR Plus 256GB.
