Value -
Value is another very subjective topic. What is expensive to some might be a deal to others. You can look at this topic in multiple ways. One is raw price and the other is what you get for the money. Each is accurate and both are correct ways to look at price/value. We tend to look at features, performance and real-property when we discuss value. However, we also take into account the raw cash cost of the item. The 32GB DT elite will set you back about $78 is you get it from Kingston directly. We checked around and were not able to find it on Newegg, but did find it on a few other sites that had the 32GB flavor for as little as $46. The 16GB variety runs for less and can be had for around 25 while the 64GB model will push things close to $100 in many cases.

Conclusion -
At $46 the Kingston DataTraveler Elite 3.0 32GB USB Flash Drive is not a bad deal. It is not as fast as we would like it to have been, but it is still faster than any of the USB 2.0 drives that we have tinkered with. The capacity at 32GB is very nice giving you lots of room to store files on. You will not be able to push any single files over 2GB is size though as 2GB is the max file size limit with the FAT 32 file system. Still you can always reformat the drive as NTFS and get around that. For a small portable storage device the DT Elite is great, as a potential portable privacy product (with portable versions of TOR, FireFox Messenger and more) it is even better.
