Who Is This Drive For?
The DataTraveler Kyson is suited for users who regularly transfer large files such as high-resolution photos, 4K video footage, or large software packages. Its read speed of 200MB/s significantly reduces wait times compared to standard USB 2.0 drives, which typically max out at around 25MB/s. The metal, capless construction also makes it more durable for daily carry than plastic alternatives with removable caps that can be lost over time.
