If the price is right, the Kingston Datatraveler Max easily fulfils the requirements of most users. I can therefore recommend the USB stick without reservation for relatively light tasks. I also like the way the cover snaps into place. However, if you are looking for a stick that is fast for really large files, you should look for a different model.
This test report belongs to a different type: DataTraveler Max (256 GB, USB-A)
