Worth every penny.
I use it for transferring video files and it works flawlessly and fast. The drive feels great and it is great quality but it is a little on the large size however it's 1 TB so it is worth the bigger size. Although the bigger size isn't all bad, I regularly have to plug it into my TV and the bigger size makes it easier to insert and remove it without being able to see.

Fast, High-Capacity Flash Drive
I’ve been very impressed with the Kingston DataTraveler Max 1TB flash drive. It’s extremely fast compared to typical USB drives, which makes transferring large files or backups quick and easy. The USB 3.2 Gen 2 interface allows it to reach speeds up to about 1,000 MB/s read and 900 MB/s write when used with a compatible port (I read that), which is unusually fast for a thumb drive, but this is exactly why I picked it out. I also like the sturdy design and sliding cap that protects the connector when it’s not in use. With a full terabyte of storage in such a small device, it’s a convenient way to carry large photo libraries, videos, or project files without needing a larger external drive.

Great so far.
Definitely does around 400MBps. Haven't had a chance to test out 3.2 gen 2x2 speed, 800-1000MBps. The cache seems to be around 5GB. It is lightning fast to about that amount and then slows down to about 80MBps if the file is bigger than 5GB. Based on info on the web, that is normal. When uploading big video files to it, it gets very warm but not unreasonably hot. Happy with it so far. If one is looking for a bigger cache, nvme's in a usb enclosure is the way to go. Movespeed has a flash drive with a much bigger cache but it is more expensive. For the price the Kingston datatraveler is great. All drives are slower when uploading many small files to it. The high speed is for few big files.

Fast, durable, looks a bit weird
Works great. Very fast, goes about 300 MB a second for 5 or 7 gigs then slows down to 100 MB a second. Fastest usb stick I have. The Bad: it looks really long and weird. I've been using it for about 3 years now so it seems pretty durable though.

better than the cheap 3.0 trash
you need to format the drive first. pretty nice quality, and fast transfer speeds. putting 5-10gb from the drive onto a pc takes a minute? maybe 2 at an average of 300 mb/s? instead of the 3.0 drive taking half hour+ at 10-15mb/s. its obviously more expensive.. but time is money! wish the stupid usb guard did something.

Excellent Drive
Great 256gb drive. Quality as you would expect from Kingston Have using it regularly for a year and it's performance has been flawless. The only negative I could possibly give it would be it's size, which is about 3.5" long, but that in no way affects its usability.

A very large USB flash drive that is fast enough
1GB/s read/write for the fast tier of flash, only ~300MB/s after that fills when writing bulk data. For file sharing or OS images it should be just fine.

Review of Kingston DataTraveller Max 256GB purchased for €37.45 TLDR: banger value, great performance, easy recommend; just make sure to plug it in correctly. This USB Drive doesn't disappoint, it goes beyond the advertised max. sequential speeds by about 50MB/s, is compact and stylish, light, the plastic shell doesn't get hot (unlike the aluminium SanDisk drives), has an activity light, and is retractable. The advertising around USB 3.2 Gen 2 can be misleading because of the confusing USB spec. In this review I will use the old and clear USB spec without gens or 2x2s or whatever. The max advertised speed of this drive is 1000MB/s seq. read and 900MB/s seq. write which corresponds to the old USB 3.1 or 3.1 gen 2 or the new 3.2 gen2x1, not USB 3.2 or 3.2 gen 2x2 (see image table for what I'm talking about). The drive auto-negotiates to USB 3.1 (max. 1212 MB/s), USB 3.0 (max. 500MB/s), and USB 2.0 (max. 60MB/s) according to the port you plug it into (see CrystalDiskMark score images). Do note that if you don't stick it in perfectly (which can easily happen because of the retractable mechanism), it will safely negotiate to USB 2.0 speeds so it will still function but much slower than it can (see images for what I mean), so make sure to plug it in properly to get full speeds! Compared to my sandisk ultra flair (currently €21.99) which tops out at just 166MB/s seq. read and 27MB/s seq. write, it's easily worth the extra 15 euro for massively improved performance, so I can confidently say this Kingston is a genuinely great value for what it delivers. I'll be happy using it for my windows-to-go installation and can recommend it to anyone needing solid portable flash drive performance. My only gripe is I wish it had a better retractable mechanism or none at all so as to avoid bad inserts.
