USB Flash Drive 32Gb - Kingston DataTraveler microDuo 3C DTDUO3C / 32GB купить

9

I tested the Read/Write speeds of this Kingston Data Traveler Micro Duo USB 3C Flash Drive (DTDUO3C/32GB ) on two different computers, using the benchmark program 'CrystalDiskMark x64':
- When plugged in to an USB port: Sequential Read= Write=
- When plugged in to an USB port: Read= Write=
(See my uploaded screenshot for details)
The product description claims "100MB/s Read, 15MB/s Write". So my measured results are actually better than advertised.
Just for reference, my SanDisk Ultra Fit Series USB Flash Drive gives a more impressive performance. Its Sequential Read is similar at while its Sequential Write is twice as fast at But it is not a duo-port drive.
On the other hand, my SanDisk Ultra Micro USB OTG Flash Drive is a duo-port drive, and its performance is much worse: Read= Write= The Sony Microvault USB Flash Drive is slightly better with Read= Write=

Although the Write speed of this Data Traveler Micro Duo is not as good as that of the Sandisk Ultra Fit, it is actually better than advertised, and faster than my other dual-port drives. So I still consider it a good product at its present low price.

- The smaller port of this drive is an USB Type-C port, not a micro-USB port. If you are looking for the latter, consider the Data Traveler Micro Duo USB Micro USB OTG drive instead.
- The clear plastic cover over the smaller port feels flimsy. It slides out every time I unplug the drive from my computer. I hope it does not break off too soon.
- The capacity of this '32GB' drive, according to my computer, is only Now I know all about the difference between what is called one Giga-Byte for computer people (2 to the power 30 bytes) and for marketing people (1 billion bytes). But the discrepancy is too large here, as *2^30 = billion bytes only. The Sony 32GB Microvault USB Flash Drive, for example, shows up as on my computer.
I bought 2 of these a few months ago and have been very happy. Today, I came back to order 2 more and decided to leave a review while I'm at it.
These are very inexpensive, very reliable, and, as other reviewers have mentioned, very *honest*. The write performance is not great, but they don't try to lie to you about it. But for the price they're unbeatable, and they work equally well with USB-C on my MacBook and USB-A 3 on my desktop PC. They are VERY small which can be both good and bad: they're easy to store, but also easy to lose.
My only real complaint is that there's no good way to label them. They're so small that there's no real place to put a label, and since the cover is clear it's not easy to write on either. For the first two, I used a black marker to mark the inside of the plastic so I can tell the difference, but I really have no idea what I'm going to do for the next 2.
Outstanding usb drive the reads are awesome however the writes are a bit slow at 18mbps most of the time reads are always over 100mbps. The plastic cover thing just rip it off and throw it away it's cheap and gets in the way and makes this otherwise premium product appear budget. Also keep it formatted to either FAT32 or FAText otherwise your phone or tablet won't read it unless you have a windows phone or tablet. I plug this directly into a projector and watch movies and it runs flawless never gets warm. Only time it gets warm or hot is during writes so adding files will make this drive get really hot it's all aluminum so that is to be expected. Great drive though I'll definitely be buying another.
*Addition I accidentally left this in my pants pocket and washed and dried my clothes and this drive still performing like I bought it absolutely outstanding product.
