The Kingston DataTraveler Kyson DTKNG2/256GB is a 256GB USB 3.2 Gen 1 Type-A flash drive with read speeds up to 220MB/s, suited to people who want portable storage for transferring files between compatible USB-A devices.
Recommended For
- People who carry files between computers and want a compact USB-A drive they can attach to a key ring; the capless metal design avoids a loose cap.
