Kingston Releases 2-in-1 MicroUSB/USB Flash Drive Up to 64GB

Kingston Digital Inc. announced the launch of the DataTraveler microDuo.

A small form factor combination USB and microUSB flash drive, it allows consumers to expand the storage of their Android tablets and smartphones.

It uses the microUSB port on devices – often used for charging – to expand storage up to 64GB. This is helpful as more and more smartphones and some tablets come without a microSD card storage expansion slot. The drive can be used with any USB OTG compatible device and the dual interface allows users to transfer files without plugging into a PC. Smartphones and tablets shoot hi-res photos and HD video, and with some devices shooting 4K video, consumers can move large files, photos, videos and music off the device to free up space just like a flash drive.

“DT microDuo is a great companion device to mobile phones or tablets as it lets users backup files on the go thus freeing up space, or share files between devices with ease,” said Jean Wong, flash memory business manager, Kingston. “Its sleek design has a built-in key loop and rotating cap, so it is small in size and big on storage. Travelers can take entire libraries of music or videos with them on trips without worrying about filling up the memory on their own device.“

It is available in 8GB, 16GB, 32GB and 64GB capacities and is backed by a five-year warranty, free live technical support.
