As more people use their smartphones and tablets alongside laptop and desktop PCs, the need for storage that works for both PCs and mobile devices only grows. With the Kingston DataTraveler microDuo ($29.95), plugging into your Android device is now just as simple as using a drive on your PC, and...

Simple, compact design; USB and microUSB connections, with PC and Android compatibility.

Android support isn't 100 percent; Requires microUSB, so no support for iOS products

Up for review today I have the Kingston DataTraveler Generation 3 or G3 USB flash drive. The drive is 32gb capacity and it's one of the latest from Kingston. The G3 is very small and lightweight making it portable and easy to take with you.

Verdict: While the Kingston doesn't offer much in the way of extras, it's aggressively priced and super quick.

Because it's slow, made my computer speed slower. It would be good for people who likes slower speed. The next time I purchase, I pay attention to speedier ones.

Portable

Slow

While the security features offered by the DataTraveler Secure offering are useful, they do come at a price premium.  So, unless security is a paramount issue, I would recommend the DataTraveler ReadyFlash for most users.  It is one third the price and performed slightly better in my tests.

I ran out of room on my 16GB stick. I needed something with mobility that I wouldn't accidentally leave behind. This unit has no moving parts. Translation: less things to go wrong and break. It has more room to carry the videos I shoot and now I'm thinking I should have gone for the 64GB stick.

I bought two of these drives three weeks ago, and they have both failed. A set of read and write operations that used to take a few seconds now takes over 10 minutes. I have had two of the 16GB drives (Kingston 16GB USB 3.0 DataTraveler I G4 Flash Drive (Blue)) for 4 months and they are both fine.

I wish I would've spent the extra 5 bucks and got write speeds of >60MB/s like the other Kingston drive I just purchased. Live and learn I guess

Pros: Holds data; Transfers data

Cons: I couldn't get it to transfer data faster than 8MB/s ; Really! Using a SSHD to a 3.0 usb connection, to a supposedly 3.0 USB drive

I bought three of these, all identical 8GB G4 models, and all three of them are equally slow. It's sold as a USB 3.0 stick and it has the characteristic blue USB 3.0 colored port, but the speeds are so horrific that I simply cannot justify spending $7.00 on one of them, and I'm sure not going to...

Inexpensive

-Too Slow: Consistently getting USB 1.1 speeds on this thing using a USB 3.0 front port on my rig; If I plug a 5400RPM external HDD into the same port I get decent USB 3.0 speeds hovering around 150Mb/s, but this "super fast" flash drive gets maybe 10Mb/s

Product is good, delivered on time.
