Grab this Kingston 128GB USB drive for a fiver – you never know when it’ll come in handy

It’s gotten to the point where capacious USB sticks are a dime a dozen in terms of cost, and if you get one at the right time, there are some good deals around. To prove my point, take a look below – Kingston’s DataTraveler 70 USB flash drive is available in 128GB form for just £5 from Amazon. That’s insane value for a handy drive you can use to transfer files between computers, update your motherboard’s BIOS, or reinstall operating systems. You never know when you might need one, after all.

You might be someone who has a lot of spare USB sticks that were given away for free; I know I definitely have. The problem with those drives though is that their capacities are more than likely in the single digits – my old favorite Kingston is only 8GB. Getting one with a 128GB capacity like this Kingston one saves you the hassle of plugging and unplugging tons of USB sticks looking for a good sized one. Always keep it close to you and you will definitely not go wrong. For bonus points, give it a silly name – I named all my units so I don’t get confused about which one is which – shout out to OGs Bert, Steve and John.

This Kingston drive is also finished with USB-C, offering rock-solid compatibility with everything from phones to modern MacBooks and laptops that stand firm with their USB-C port – I’m looking at you, modern MacBook Air . It’s also quite a compact unit, so you can practically put it in a spare pocket and forget about it.

This deal just acts as a testament to how affordable flash storage has become recently and comes in at 4.15p per GB, which is ridiculous value for money. We’ve seen a lot of storage deals lately, mainly highlighting those on SSDs and HDDs, but smaller flash drives are certainly not forgotten. As much as we might see some prices go up, it’s nice to see the humble USB drive standing firm.

If you’re after an affordable and fairly portable storage solution with plenty of capacity, this Amazon deal on the Kingston DataTraveler 70 128GB USB drive is not to be missed.
