Rank 5 out of 9CHIP OnlineReleaseFebruary 2015

Die Leistung beim Schreiben und Lesen gehört nicht zu den großen Stärken der Speichersticks, hier sind die Werte nur unterdurchschnittlich. Ansonsten kann man den Kingston DataTraveler 100 G3 16GB (DT100G3/16GB) jedoch schon aufgrund des geringen Preis empfehlen.

  • NegativeBilliges Plastikgehäuse

9 Euro für 16 GByte - damit ist der Kingston DataTraveler 100 16GB aktuell der günstigste USB-Stick seiner Größenklasse im Test. Allerdings sieht das Plastikgehäuse entsprechend billig aus, und tempomäßig reißt der Kingston im Test auch keine Bäume aus.
