It has a full-size USB connector that plugs directly into most Windows or Apple machines, along with a micro USB connector that will work with the majority of Android phones or tablets from the likes of Samsung or Sony.<\/p>\n<p>Among the many similar devices on the market, this one stands out due to its unusually neat, slimline metal-bodied design. Samsung claims it to be water, shock, magnet, temperature and X-ray proof, but the same is true of most flash-based drives. However it\u2019s nice to know that it should survive moderate abuse. With capacities up to 128GB available, there\u2019s plenty of space to store your photo albums.<\/p>\n<p>A small surround at the base of the micro USB connector is designed to allow it to fit past any case you might use on your phone or tablet. The connector itself is protected by a plastic cover that snaps on firmly, at least when new. However having previously broken one of these relatively fragile plugs on a similar device, I\u2019d advise tying the cover to the drive using the lanyard holes through both, to avoid losing it.<\/p>\n<p>With a USB 3.0 connector, Samsung promises transfer speeds up to 130MB\/sec. In practice, copying a 5GB folder of image files to and from my MacBook Pro, I recorded read and write speeds of around 100MB\/ sec and 25MB\/sec respectively, making it one of the fastest devices of its type I\u2019ve used. Likewise browsing 20MP image files on my Samsung Galaxy Tab S was practically instantaneous. Overall this is a neatly designed and speedy device that\u2019s great for backing up your photos and showing them off on an Android tablet.<\/p>\n\t\t<div id=&quot;attachment_101041&quot;  class=\"c-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 1020px\">\n\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-101041 size-full\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/Samsung-USB-3.0-Flash-Drive-Duo-2a.jpg\" alt=\"Samsung USB 3.0 Flash Drive Duo on phone\" width=\"1000\" height=\"667\" srcset=\"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2017\/02\/Samsung-USB-3.0-Flash-Drive-Duo-2a.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2017\/02\/Samsung-USB-3.0-Flash-Drive-Duo-2a.jpg?resize=300,200 300w, https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2017\/02\/Samsung-USB-3.0-Flash-Drive-Duo-2a.jpg?resize=600,400 600w, https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2017\/02\/Samsung-USB-3.0-Flash-Drive-Duo-2a.jpg?resize=900,600 900w, https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2017\/02\/Samsung-USB-3.0-Flash-Drive-Duo-2a.jpg?resize=562,375 562w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/>\t\t\t<p class=\"c-caption__text\">The USB connector plugs directly into most Windows or Apple laptops<\/p>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\n<h2>SCORE: 4.5 out of 5<\/h2>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Andy Westlake puts the Samsung USB 3.0 Flash Drive Duo to the test<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":362,"featured_media":101043,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[39],"tags":[],"product-category":[],"class_list":["post-101037","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-photo-news"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v26.8 (Yoast SEO v26.8) -
