Completely normal for some of the V300 series. Somewhere along the line Kingston changed the NAND to something slower and crappier for the budget line. 

 

I think that the V300S that you have their is fine. It could just be something else getting "choked"

Our Grace. The Feathered One. He shows us the way. His bob is majestic and shows us the path. Follow unto his guidance and His example. He knows the one true path. Our Saviour. Our Grace. Our Father Birb has taught us with His humble heart and gentle wing the way of the bob. Let us show Him our reverence and follow in His example.
