DataTraveler microDuo 3C

The flash drive is protected in a plastic blister. We see that it has a capacity of 32GB and is compatible with the USB Type-C and Type-A connection. In addition to offering connectivity to any Windows operating system, MAC and a 5-year warranty coverage. While in the back of the blister we find all its technical characteristics.

The Kingston DataTraveler microDuo 3C stands out for its flirtatious and reduced design with a small plastic housing that allows us to choose between Type C or A connection. Its exact dimensions are 29.94 x 16.60mm and 8.44mm with a minimal weight.

We want to highlight the type of dual interface that works with both standard USB ports and those of the new USB 3.1 with Type-C when working with the first generation at 5 Gb / s. It is an ideal way to provide up to 64GB of additional storage for the latest smartphones, tablets, and PC and Mac computers, which can have a limited number of expansion ports, and is easier than sharing files through services at line.

Regarding its reading rate, it is quite good with a speed of up to 100MB / s in reading, while the writing rates are unbalanced with only 15MB / s. Finally highlight Kingston's free technical support and excellent after-sales service with a five-year warranty. All a guarantee!

Final words and conclusion

With the arrival of the new motherboards and the incorporation of USB 3.1 technology, Kingston has put the batteries and they are launching the first compatible with this new Type-C connector. This time we have had the DataTraveler MicroDUO 3C with a capacity of 32GB of memory and the possibility of using the traditional USB or the new USB 3.1 connection. This pendrive provides us with transfers greater than 100 Mb / s of reading and a writing of up to 15 Mb / s.

Its use is ideal for connecting to equipment that needs extra storage and that fits perfectly with the aesthetics of the equipment. Personally it seems to me a very good solution for the new Macbook 2015 or the new Netbooks that lack few USB connections.

It is currently in an online store for a price of 16 euros (16GB), 25 euros (32GB) and 35 euros for 64GB.
