Dual USB-C and USB-A flash drive

The Kingston DataTraveler microDuo 3C is a 256GB USB 3.2 Gen 2 flash drive with both USB Type-C and USB Type-A connectors. It serves users who move files between modern phones, tablets, laptops and older desktop ports without carrying adapters. The silver metal casing uses a rotating cap to protect the reversible Type-C end.

Check your ports and speed needs

Verify that your devices have either a USB Type-C or USB Type-A socket; the drive fits both but requires at least one. Read speeds reach 200MB/s on USB 3.2 Gen 2 hosts, so confirm your port supports that specification to achieve the rated throughput. The 256GB capacity suits large photo libraries or video projects but will not replace a full system backup drive.

Plug into mixed port environments

The dual connectors let you copy 1000 high-resolution photos directly from a Type-C phone to a Type-A desktop in one step. No external power or driver installation is needed on supported operating systems. The compact rotating design frees up adjacent ports on crowded hubs and slips into a pocket or key ring for daily carry.
