CONCLUSION

   Some of you may wonder as to why we even bothered testing the MicroDuo OTG 32GB USB flash drive by Kingston since USB 2.0 speeds are more or less known and certainly not impressive. Well this may surprise some of you but not only have we seen USB 2.0 flash drives with much slower speeds but we've also seen USB 3.0 drives with speeds lower than those achieved by USB 2.0 drives (in some tests). Of course the MicroDuo OTG 32GB USB Flash Drive is not the leading USB 2.0 drive in terms of performance and you can see that just by checking our charts but since its primary use is with tablets i think we can put less weight on that (still we can't ignore it). The microUSB protection cap is a nice feature but that made us wonder as to why Kingston didn't choose to place an similar protection cap for the USB connector as well (it could actually look quite good). Sure a microUSB connector is much easier to get damaged than a full USB one due to its size but it never hurts to be prepared for everything.

   Much like SSDs the prices of USB flash drives have also taken a significant hit over the years (both USB 2.0 and 3.0) and so the price of the MicroDuo OTG 32GB is set very low at USD18.74 inside the USA (Amazon.com) and 17Euros inside the EU (Amazon.co.uk). One can't really ignore that price tag and so even though the MicroDuo OTG 32GB USB Flash Drive is not USB 3.0 compatible it's very cheap and works as advertised making life easier for tablet owners. True Kingston can perfect the design by adding a USB 3.0 controller for the most demanding of users that may need the extra speed when transferring files onto the drive by regular PCs and MACs but until they do the MicroDuo OTG is the perfect solution and that's why we give it our Golden Award.
