Description
Kingston DataTraveler SE9 G3 256GB USB-A Flash Drive
Carry work files, photos and videos in a compact gold metal USB drive. The Kingston DataTraveler SE9 G3 256GB (DTSE9G3/256GB) plugs into USB-A ports and offers up to 220MB/s read and 100MB/s write speeds with compatible hardware.
- 256GB capacity for everyday file storage and sharing.
- USB 3.2 Gen 1 with a USB Type-A connector.
- Gold metal casing with an integrated keyring loop.
- Compact 39 x 12.2 x 4.6mm design weighing 5g.
- Kingston five-year limited warranty.
A pocket-sized drive for everyday transfers
Keep presentation files close to hand, move a photo folder between computers or carry a selection of videos for a trip. The integrated loop lets you attach the drive to a keyring, while the capless metal body avoids a separate cap to keep track of.
Check the connector before buying
This model has a rectangular USB-A connector. A computer with only USB-C ports needs a suitable adapter or hub. For a TV, car stereo or other appliance, check its supported USB storage capacity and file system before purchase.
Understanding transfer speeds
The advertised read and write figures are maximum speeds, not a promise for every transfer. The computer, USB port and file sizes affect results. Copying many small files can take longer than transferring one large file. Usable storage is lower than the nominal 256GB because of formatting and other storage functions.
Compare other options in our memory card range if your device uses an SD or microSD slot rather than USB.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Is this a 256GB or 512GB drive?
This listing is the 256GB model, DTSE9G3/256GB. Other capacities in the SE9 G3 range are separate products.
Does it plug directly into USB-C?
No. It has a USB-A connector. USB-C-only devices need a suitable adapter or hub and support for USB storage.
Will every file copy at 100MB/s?
No. Up to 100MB/s is the maximum write rating. The host device, port and workload determine actual speed, especially with many small files.
Can I use it with a Mac?
Kingston lists macOS support. Check the current operating-system requirements on the linked manufacturer page, the available port and the file system when sharing files with Windows.
Can I use it in a television or car?
Check the appliance manual for USB storage support, maximum capacity and required file system. A USB socket alone does not establish compatibility with a 256GB drive.
Why is the available capacity below 256GB?
The nominal capacity includes space used for formatting and other functions. Devices may also display capacity using a different calculation.
Is a cap required?
The SE9 G3 uses a capless metal design with a built-in loop for attaching it to a keyring.
What warranty is included?
Kingston provides a five-year limited warranty, subject to its terms. Store returns are explained separately in the Returns tab.
