USB Type-C postaje sve popularniji i koristi se na mnogim pametnim telefonima, tabletima i ultrabookovima. Čak i prijenosna računala za igre sada imaju USB Type-C priključak. Ovaj novi priključak je malen, brz i može se koristiti i za punjenje vaših uređaja. Međutim, to predstavlja jedan izazov: ne možete koristiti tradicionalne USB flash pogone na računalima i uređajima koji imaju USB Type-C . Kako bi odgovorio na ovaj izazov, Kingston je izdao svoju DataTraveler microDuo 3C obitelj flash pogona koji nude i USB Type-C i USB 3.0povezivost, tako da možete spojiti isti memorijski stick na sve vrste uređaja, uključujući vaš pametni telefon. Da biste vidjeli koliko dobro radi, pročitajte ovu recenziju:

Raspakiranje i hardverske specifikacije

Pakiranje za Kingston DataTraveler microDuo 3C je osnovno: sve što dobijete je sam flash pogon i komad kartona koji pokazuje njegove najvažnije karakteristike i značajke.

Unutra ćete pronaći samo flash pogon. Ne postoji korisnički priručnik ili disk za podršku. Sam uređaj je vrlo malen: 1,17 x 0,65 x 0,33 inča ili 29,94 x 16,60 x 8,44 mm širine x dubine i visine. Kao što možete vidjeti na donjoj slici, ovaj dual memory stick ima dvije glave: jednu USB Type-C i drugu USB Type A , također poznatu kao USB 3.0 . USB Type-C glava prekrivena je plastičnim poklopcem koji je štiti od prašine, ogrebotina i svih vrsta nezgoda .

Kingston DataTraveler microDuo 3C nudi rupu za držanje koja olakšava pričvršćivanje flash pogona uz vaše ključeve i nošenje sa sobom. Ako to učinite, USB 3.0 priključak ostaje nezaštićen i sklon ogrebotinama. Voljeli bismo da je Kingston osigurao zaštitnu kapicu za oba kraja ovog fleksibilnog uređaja za pohranu.

Kingston DataTraveler microDuo 3C dostupan je u četiri kapaciteta za pohranu: 16 GB, 32 GB, 64 GB i 128 GB. Varijanta od 16 GB nudi brzinu čitanja od 100 MB/s i brzinu pisanja od 10 MB/s. Sve ostale varijante nude 100MB/s brzinu čitanja i 15MB/s brzinu pisanja. Uređaj bi trebao raditi na temperaturama koje variraju od 32°F do 140°F ili od 0°C do 60°C. Također je podržano petogodišnjim jamstvom. Što se tiče kompatibilnosti , Kingston DataTraveler microDuo 3C trebao bi raditi s gotovo svime, od Windows 7 do Windows 10 , do Mac OS X , do Linuxa^(Linux) , Androida^(Android) , Windows 10 Mobile i Chrome OS -a .

Korištenje Kingston DataTraveler microDuo 3C

Isprobali smo Kingston DataTraveler microDuo 3C jer smo željeli USB memorijski stick koji radi s našim pametnim telefonima i tabletima te s tradicionalnim računalima. Za ovu recenziju testirali smo verziju od 16 GB koja bi trebala biti sporija od ostalih.

Isprobali smo ga na pametnom telefonu Google Nexus 6P i ^{(Google Nexus 6P)}Microsoft Lumia 950 , i odlično je radio na oba. Android i Windows 10 Mobile nisu imali problema s otkrivanjem ovog uređaja za pohranu i radom s njim. Lako smo premjestili datoteke s naših pametnih telefona na flash disk.

USB 3.0 kraj radi na klasičnim računalima, uključujući ona koja imaju samo USB 2.0 portove. Jedina mana je to što su brzine prijenosa sporije kada se koristi USB 2.0 .

Nakon nekoliko dana korištenja, DataTraveler microDuo 3C postao je naš omiljeni način prijenosa puno datoteka između naših pametnih telefona i naših računala. Na primjer, možete otići na putovanje i snimiti mnogo slika i videa mjesta koja posjećujete ili ljudi koje upoznajete. Jedan od načina da sve svoje multimedijske datoteke prenesete sa pametnog telefona na računalo je putem usluge pohrane u oblaku kao što je OneDrive , Google Drive ili Dropbox . Međutim, ako je vaš mobilni podatkovni paket ograničen ili je vaša veza spora, korištenje Kingston DataTraveler microDuo 3C puno je brže.

Kingston DataTraveler microDuo 3C mali je uređaj za pohranu koji se može spojiti na moderne pametne telefone i tablete s USB Type-C, te stolna računala s USB 2.0 ili USB 3.0 priključcima. Fleksibilnost je jača strana ovog uređaja za pohranu, kao i njegova glavna prodajna točka.^{(Kingston DataTraveler microDuo 3C is a small storage device that can be connected to both modern smartphones and tablets with USB Type-C, and desktop PC's with USB 2.0 or USB 3.0 ports. Flexibility is the strong point of this storage device, as well as its main selling point.)}

Izvedba u mjerilima

Iako se činilo da je Kingston DataTraveler microDuo 3C dovoljno brz za većinu prijenosa, željeli smo dobiti jasniju perspektivu i još jednom provjeriti Kingstonova^(Kingston) obećanja u vezi s brzinama prijenosa.

Prvo smo testirali USB Type-C priključak na Kingston DataTraveler microDuo 3C sa 16 GB prostora za pohranu, koristeći CrystalDiskMark . 16 GB obećava 100 MB/s kao brzinu čitanja i 10 MB/s kao brzinu pisanja. Kao što možete vidjeti u nastavku, Kingston ispunjava svoje obećanje i pogon je nešto brži od obećanog kada je u pitanju brzina čitanja.

Također smo prenijeli datoteku od 1,44 GB na memorijsku karticu, koristeći File Explorer u sustavu Windows^(Windows) . Brzina pisanja bila je oko 9,45 MB/s . Nije jako brz, ali za većinu korisnika je dovoljno brz.

Ponovili smo iste testove koristeći USB Type A ili USB 3.0 port. Brzine koje pruža Kingston DataTraveler microDuo 3C u CrystalDiskMarku^{(CrystalDiskMark)} malo su se poboljšale, posebice brzina pisanja.

Ponovno smo prenijeli istu datoteku od 1,44 GB na memorijsku karticu, koristeći File Explorer u sustavu Windows^(Windows) . Brzina pisanja bila je oko 11,5 MB/s , što je još jedno dobrodošlo poboljšanje.

Brzina čitanja koju nudi Kingston DataTraveler microDuo 3C je u redu za većinu korisnika dok je brzina pisanja spora. Ako ne trebate prenositi puno datoteka odjednom, bit ćete u redu. Inače, možda biste trebali razmisliti o bržem flash pogonu.^{(The read speed offered by Kingston DataTraveler microDuo 3C is okay for most users while the writing speed is on the slow side. If you don't need to transfer lots of files at once, then you will be OK. Otherwise, you might want to consider a faster flash drive.)}

Za i protiv

Kingston DataTraveler microDuo 3C ima nekoliko dobrih stvari:

• Mali je, lagan i lak za nošenje
• Kraj USB Type-C ima plastični zaštitni poklopac
• Vrlo je jednostavan za korištenje i na uređajima s USB Type-C i klasičnim računalima s USB 3.0 ili 2.0
• Kompatibilan je sa svim glavnim operativnim sustavima
• To je jedan od rijetkih dual memory stickova na tržištu
• Ima razumnu cijenu

Postoje i neke nedostatke koje treba uzeti u obzir:

• Ne postoji zaštitni poklopac za USB 3.0 kraj
• Brzina pisanja je prilično spora u usporedbi s klasičnim USB 3.0 flash diskovima
• Lako ga je izgubiti zbog male veličine

Presuda

Kingston DataTraveler microDuo 3C je fleksibilan, prijenosni uređaj za pohranu koji je prikladan za korisnike koji rade s modernim gadgetima i trebaju prenijeti svoje podatke na starije. Ako imate moderan ultrabook ili tablet sa samo jednim USB Type-C priključkom i trebate premjestiti podatke na stolna računala s USB 2.0 ili 3.0, Kingston DataTraveler microDuo 3C izvrstan je izbor koji vas neće puno koštati. Kompatibilan je sa svim glavnim operativnim sustavima, otkriva se u samo nekoliko sekundi i prijenos vaših podataka je jednostavan. Jedini veliki nedostatak je što je brzina pisanja koju nudi spora u usporedbi s tradicionalnim USB 3.0 flash pogonima.

Kingston DataTraveler microDuo 3C - Dual memory stick with USB Type C and USB 3.0 connectivity

USB Type-C iѕ getting a lot of trасtion, аnd it is used on many smartphones, tablets, and ultraboоks. Even gaming laptops now include a USB Type-C port. This new рort is tiny, fast and it can also be used for charging your devices. However, it poses one challenge: you cаn't use traditional USB flash drives on computеrs and devices that have USB Type-C. To respond to this challenge, Kingston has released іts DataTraveler microDuо 3C famіly of flash drives which offеr both USB Type-C and USB 3.0 connectivity, so that you can connect the same memorу stick to all kinds of devices, including your ѕmartphone. To see how well it works, read this review:

Unboxing and hardware specifications

The packaging for the Kingston DataTraveler microDuo 3C is basic: all you get is the flash drive itself and a piece of cardboard that shows its most important characteristics and features.

Inside you will find only the flash drive. There's no user manual or support disc. The device itself is very small: 1.17 x 0.65 x 0.33 inches or 29.94 x 16.60 x 8.44 mm in width x depth and height. As you can see in the picture below, this dual memory stick has two heads: one USB Type-C and another USB Type A, also known as USB 3.0. The USB Type-C head is covered by a plastic cap, protecting it from dust, scratches and all kinds of accidents.

The Kingston DataTraveler microDuo 3C offers a grip hole that makes it easy to attach the flash drive alongside your keys and carry it with you. If you do that, the USB 3.0 port remains unprotected and scratch prone. We wish Kingston had provided a protection cap for both ends of this flexible storage device.

Kingston DataTraveler microDuo 3C is available in four storage capacities: 16GB, 32GB, 64GB and 128GB. The 16 GB variant offers 100MB/s in read speed and 10MB/s in write speed. All other variants offer 100MB/s in read speed and 15MB/s in write speed. The device is supposed to work at temperatures varying from 32°F to 140°F or 0°C to 60°C. It is also backed by a five-year warranty. Regarding compatibility Kingston DataTraveler microDuo 3C should work with just about anything, from Windows 7 to Windows 10, to Mac OS X, to Linux, Android, Windows 10 Mobile and Chrome OS.

Using the Kingston DataTraveler microDuo 3C

We tried the Kingston DataTraveler microDuo 3C because we wanted a USB memory stick that works with our smartphones and tablets and with traditional computers. For this review, we tested the 16GB version, which is supposed to be slower than the others.

We tried it on a Google Nexus 6P smartphone and a Microsoft Lumia 950, and it worked great on both. Android and Windows 10 Mobile had no issues in discovering this storage device and working with it. We easily moved files from our smartphones to the flash drive.

The USB 3.0 end works on classic computers, including those that have only USB 2.0 ports. The only downside is that transfer speeds get slower when using USB 2.0.

After a couple of days of use, DataTraveler microDuo 3C had become our favorite way of transferring lots of files between our smartphones and our PCs. For example, you may go on a trip and take lots of pictures and videos of the places that you visit or the people that you meet. One way to get all your multimedia files from your smartphone to your PC is through a cloud storage service like OneDrive, Google Drive or Dropbox. However, if your mobile data plan is limited or your connection is slow, using the Kingston DataTraveler microDuo 3C is much faster.

Kingston DataTraveler microDuo 3C is a small storage device that can be connected to both modern smartphones and tablets with USB Type-C, and desktop PC's with USB 2.0 or USB 3.0 ports. Flexibility is the strong point of this storage device, as well as its main selling point.

Performance in benchmarks

While Kingston DataTraveler microDuo 3C seemed fast enough for most transfers, we wanted to get a clearer perspective and double check Kingston's promises regarding transfer speeds.

First, we tested the USB Type-C port on the Kingston DataTraveler microDuo 3C with 16GB of storage space, using CrystalDiskMark. The 16 GB promises 100MB/s as read speed and 10MB/s as write speed. As you can see below, Kingston delivers on its promise and the drive is slightly faster than what is promised when it comes to the read speed.

We also transferred a 1.44 GB file to the memory stick, using File Explorer in Windows. The writing speed was around 9.45 MB/s. It is not very fast, but for most users, it is fast enough.

We repeated the same tests using the USB Type A or USB 3.0 port. The speeds delivered by Kingston DataTraveler microDuo 3C in CrystalDiskMark have improved a bit, especially, the writing speed.

We transferred again, the same 1.44 GB file to the memory stick, using File Explorer in Windows. The writing speed was around 11.5 MB/s, another welcome improvement.

The read speed offered by Kingston DataTraveler microDuo 3C is okay for most users while the writing speed is on the slow side. If you don't need to transfer lots of files at once, then you will be OK. Otherwise, you might want to consider a faster flash drive.

Pros and cons

Kingston DataTraveler microDuo 3C has several good things going for it:

• It is small, light and easy to carry
• The USB Type-C end has a plastic protection cap
• It is very easy to use both on devices with USB Type-C and classic computers with USB 3.0 or 2.0
• It is compatible with all the major operating systems
• It's one of the few dual memory sticks on the market
• It is reasonably priced

There are some downsides to consider too:

• There's no protection cap for the USB 3.0 end
• The writing speed is rather slow when compared to classic USB 3.0 flash drives
• It is easy to lose because of its small size

Verdict

Kingston DataTraveler microDuo 3C is a flexible, portable storage device that's suitable for users who work with modern gadgets and need to transfer their data to older ones. If you have a modern ultrabook or a tablet with just one USB Type-C port and you need to move data to desktop computers with USB 2.0 or 3.0, Kingston DataTraveler microDuo 3C is a great choice that won't cost you much. It is compatible with all the major operating systems, it gets detected in just a couple of seconds and transferring your data is easy. The only major downside is that the writing speed it offers is on the slow side when compared with traditional USB 3.0 flash drives.
