My awesome friends over at Kingston Technology sent me one of the 64GB DataTraveler HyperX 3.0 USB drives to review and another one to give away to one of my readers in a contest.

I want to tell you that I have reviewed USB 3.0 flash drives before, but nothing I have ever used match the read and write speeds of the DataTraveler HyperX 3.0.

I put this USB stick in my system and started copying a slew of small files, or single large files above 2GB in size just to see how fast it would transfer to the USB Drive and from it.

The Kingston HyperX DataTraveler 3.0 has a claimed write speed of 135MB/s.  When I tested it with various files (screenshots below) you can see that I ranged between 113MB/s and 139MB/s and often was well at the claimed write speeds which is incredible!

When testing the read speeds copying from the USB 3.0 stick I was able to consistently reach over 230MB/s read speeds from the drive.

The results were amazingly impressive and 64GB is a nice sided USB 3.0 drive, this thing is fast enough to become a RAM booster drive if you run a system that has low RAM and you run Windows Vista or Windows 7 and need to use Readyboost.

It runs so fast you can even use it as a portable Linux OS boot drive as well!

Who wants to win a 64GB Kingston DataTraveler HyperX 3.0?  This drive retails for $100 on Amazon.com on sale, it’s retail price is $193!

Winner Chosen:

Punchtab at this time cannot display the winner, but the winner who was chosen randomly was Alan Tong who accepted the prize and received it about 14 days after he was chosen as the winner. I am working with Punchtab so that winners can be displayed in the widget in future contests.

    With a 64 gig thumb drive, I could not only back up most of my system, but create a live CD installer. Next: A USB 3.0 system or card.

    Just over 1 hour left to enter to win a 64GB USB 3.0 Flash Drive from Kingston Technology, I will be picking the winner this afternoon, hurry up and enter!

    • RonaldSmith

      @Dragon Blogger So did the winner ever claim their prize?  I never saw a name announced, so I was curious :)

      • http://www.dragonblogger.com/ Dragon Blogger

        @RonaldSmith Yes, Alan Tong was the winner and was announced on the Fanpage and he responded by email and back on the fanpage to claim the prize.

        • RonaldSmith

          @Dragon Blogger Awesome, Alan doesn’t win much, so I’m glad he got it.  A familiar name and face, I’m sure he’ll make great use of it too, lol.  Was that the Facebook fan page or here on the blog site?  Facebook is getting worse and worse at showing stuff in my feed any more, filling it up instead with useless advert garbage that I don’t want there.
           
          Anyway, grats to Alan!

        • http://www.dragonblogger.com/ Dragon Blogger

          @RonaldSmith It was the Facebook fanpage and I hate that only a small % of the fanpage posts ever make it to people’s streams.  Meanwhile I guess I should update the post to officially announce him as the winner.

      • http://www.dragonblogger.com/ Dragon Blogger

        @RonaldSmith Punchtab doesn’t appear to have the way to announce winner in widget like Rafflecopter.

  • Anthony Esposito

    I’m entered

    Too bad Punchtab doesn’t have the countdown when it hits less than 1 hour like Rafflecopter does.

    Why still winner is not announced ?

    R u cheating us

    • http://www.dragonblogger.com Justin Germino

      Winner was announced on fan page and he was contacted and already received prize, it was also mentioned in the comments below: Yes, Alan Tong was the winner and was announced on the Fanpage. I will update the post to announce, Punchtab unlike Rafflecopter at this time can’t display the winner after chosen in contest widget. The Punchtab team assured me that a near version of the contest widget will be able to do that. I also prefer the widget to announce the winner to add legitimacy and I apologize for any confusion.

      Rest assured, EVERY one of my contests here at DragonBlogger.com have had a valid winner who has received their prize. I ask my winners submit photo’s of them holding their prize as proof and some have, some haven’t. The Facebook Fanpage http://www.facebook.com/dragonbloggertech is where I do a lot of conversing with winners as well, we engage across all social media platforms as well as the blog.
