Compact 256GB USB-A flash drive

The Kingston DataTraveler Kyson DTKN/256GB is a pocket-sized USB 3.2 Gen 1 drive offering 256GB of storage. It suits anyone who needs to move photos, videos or documents between computers without relying on cloud services. The Type-A connector works directly with most laptops, desktops and in-car ports.

Capless metal body with integrated loop

The all-metal casing removes the separate cap that is easily lost on traditional drives. A moulded loop lets the drive stay on a key ring, bag strap or lanyard so it is always at hand. No software or drivers are bundled; the drive is ready to use the moment it is plugged in.

Durable lightweight construction for daily carry

At 4 grams the drive adds negligible weight to a keychain, and the solid metal shell resists the knocks of everyday transport. The USB-A plug inserts without orientation fuss on legacy and current ports alike. Read speeds up to 200MB/s and write speeds up to 60MB/s keep routine file transfers short.

Questions about this item

How long does the metal casing on this DTKN/256GB drive typically last before it needs replacing?

The capless metal casing is built to resist daily wear and has no moving parts to fail, so it generally lasts the life of the drive without replacement.

What speed limit appears first when writing large files continuously to this 256GB model?

Sustained write speed tops out at up to 60MB/s, which becomes the bottleneck before the USB 3.2 Gen 1 interface saturates.

Does the drive get hot or draw extra power when left plugged in all day?

With no moving components and a lightweight 4 gram design, it stays cool and draws only standard USB bus power during extended use.
