Overview
Carrying documents, music and video between a work PC, a home laptop and a monitor with a USB port is the job of the Kingston DataTraveler Exodia. A capped Type-A plug and a light body make it easy to toss in a pocket or bag.
Lots of room for media plus a five year warranty makes it a sensible everyday carry. Only Type-A is offered, the cap can go missing, and no write figure is stated.
Who it's for
Students and commuters shuttling school projects, music libraries or video between computers with standard USB ports will use the space. A household of USB-C only devices needs an adapter or a different drive.
Pros and cons
- Large capacity for media
- Cap shields the plug
- Very light and small
- Long five year warranty
- Write speed not listed
- Loose cap can be lost
- Type-A plug only
Performance notes
Real transfer speed depends on the port: a current generation USB socket allows the listed read figure, while an older port caps it. Large files copy faster than many small ones, since each file adds overhead.
