Good morning! I have been using Kingston brand USB drives for some years now and I love them. however, they have recently stopped making their slim metal body USB drives that I have come to love. they are still available from some sellers but are getting scarce. I have tried a couple of no-name alternatives but they have compatibility issues. I am aware that there is a new metal datatraveler, but it’s much bulkier and I’ve found it has very poor small file performance. anyone know any good metal flash drives that are available now? thanks in advance.

Those drives are so smart-looking. It's a pity about the lousy data transfer rates.

oh I probably passed on those in the past because they don't come smaller than 32gb anymore. I need something I can afford to lose. the kingston ones were down to $5 each in bulk
