Unboxing the Kingston Mini Rabbit USB Flash Drive
64GB Kingston Mini Rabbit USB Flash Drive Review – Box
The Kingston Mini Rabbit USB Flash Drive comes in a rather unique packaging. It resembles a vitamin bottle with the rabbit being display prominently. You don’t open it from the cap at the top but by pulling the bottle apart instead, which reveals that it separates into two halves. Apart from the sponge and plastic bits holding up the flash drive, all you can find inside is:

Performance
64GB Kingston Mini Rabbit USB Flash Drive Review – CrystalDiskMark
Starting off our benchmark suite with CrystalDiskMark, you can see that the speeds on the Kingston Mini Rabbit USB Flash Drive isn’t anything spectacular. The speeds would remind you of a standard 7200RPM HDD, although it’s slightly faster and slower in certain areas. It’s worth noting that speeds can get abysmally slow if you’re transferring a lot of small files, though read speeds are generally fine.
64GB Kingston Mini Rabbit USB Flash Drive Review – Anvil’s Storage Utilities
A similar pattern can be seen in Anvil’s Storage Utilities, where the read speeds are generally good but write speeds can get very sluggish. If you plan on storing a lot of photos in this flash drive, it will take a while to fully transfer depending on how many pictures you’re moving.
64GB Kingston Mini Rabbit USB Flash Drive Review – ATTO Disk Benchmark
Since AS SSD takes way too long to finish given it’s just a USB 3.2 Gen 1 flash drive, I decided to give the ATTO Disk Benchmark a try so you guys get a clearer idea of its performance. Here, it looks pretty good but the higher speeds occur as it’s easier to larger files that are fewer in number rather than small files in larger numbers.
64GB Kingston Mini Rabbit USB Flash Drive Review – Cost per GB
Lastly, the cost per GB of the Kingston Mini Rabbit USB Flash Drive shows that it’s not exactly cheap. However, it’s a novelty item so you’re paying for the design more than anything else. Furthermore, keep in mind that this is a flash drive so you can’t exactly compare it to an internal SSD or HDD directly. With that being said, we’re just doing this to give you a clearer idea in case it really matters to you.

64GB Kingston Mini Rabbit USB Flash Drive Review
If you’re looking to buy the Kingston Mini Rabbit USB Flash Drive, chances are that you’re not looking for a super speedy storage solution. Likely, you’re looking for a storage solution that can be effortlessly carried around with you in case a sudden need arises, like small backups, media sharing or Windows installation / recovery media.

64GB Kingston Mini Rabbit USB Flash Drive Review – Takes up a bit more space
Something you should keep note is that given the design of the flash drive, it might end up blocking the USB port next to it if there’s no spacing between ports. This shouldn’t be a problem if you’re plugging it in the front I/O on desktops and a good number of laptops. At the end of our 64GB Kingston Mini Rabbit USB Flash Drive review, I award this flash drive with our Silver Pokdeward.
Big thanks to Kingston for sending us this flash drive in celebration of Lunar New Year.
