Kingston DataTraveler microDuo USB drive is getting a superb response in India. The microDuo is a unique 2-in-1 storage drive for Android smartphone or tablet users. It uses the microUSB port on Android devices – often used for charging – to expand storage up to 64GB. With more and more smartphones being introduced with no expansion slots for memory cards, this Dual USB drive can be ideal companion for such owners of smartphones.
It is a unique pen drive, about the size of an average ‘Ctrl’ key on a physical keyboard. Though its form is tiny, it has a strong built, champagne gold body and brown plastic cover. The best part is that both sides of the pen drive are equipped with USB ports. While one is a regular USB port for PC use while the other side has a micro USB port for mobile use.
The Kingston microDuo dual interface USB drive is easy to use. The user only needs to plug in the pen drive into your phone’s charging port for it to work. They can then share data across all PCs and laptops and also all compatible Android tablets and smartphones. The microDuo users can carry their additional data, music, videos or photos and access them whenever they need it.
The Kingston microDuo carries a warranty of five years, and is available in four capacities — 8GB, 16GB, 32GB and 64GB. These are available for approximately Rs.500, Rs.1200, Rs.2200 respectively. There is a limited period offer running on online portals like Flipkart.
