The Leef Bridge 3.0 (16GB) is a little less expensive at $1.12 per gigabyte, and the Kingston DataTraveler microDuo 3.0 (64GB), our Editors' Choice for dual-connector drives, is the most affordable of them all at 78 cents per gigabyte. The Kingston DataTraveler Mini 3.0 (16GB) ( at Amazon) is less expensive, at $1.44 per gigabyte, but like the SanDisk Extreme 3.0, it's a single-connector device. That's less than SanDisk's own Extreme 3.0 (64GB), which has a list price of $111.99, or $1.75 per gigabyte, but it's still on the expensive side. With a list price of $49.99, that's roughly $1.56 per gigabyte. The drive itself comes in just one capacity, 32 gigabytes. In theory, it should also work with the recently announced Thunderbolt 3 port, which uses the same USB-C reversible connector, but it will be some time before Thunderbolt 3-equipped products even come to market. As a USB 3.0 drive, it is also USB 2.0-compatible, but the USB-C portion is presently only compatible with USB-C-equipped devices, of which there are very few. The drive comes preformatted to FAT32, making it compatible with all major operating systems (Windows, Mac, Google Chrome OS, and Linux) right out of the package. The connector may look different, but the Dual USB Drive essentially offers USB 3.0 speeds with two plug styles. In this instance, however, it's purely storage. USB-C has the capability to be used for all manner of connectivity options, from storage drives and peripherals to audio and video devices, like monitors. Read Our Lexar JumpDrive M10 Secure (64GB) Review The USB-C connector, on the other-hand, is expected to be used on PCs and mobile devices alike, and serves more as a bridge to close the gap between present and future specifications than to close the laptop-to-mobile divide.
We've seen dual-connector drives in the past, like the Leef Bridge 3.0 (16GB) ($27.60 at Amazon) and the Kingston DataTraveler microDuo 3.0 (64GB) ($22.90 at Amazon), but these devices pair USB and micro USB for sharing files between PCs and mobile devices. The cover locks into position when it's flipped to one end or the other, and the molded plastic body has a loop for tying on a lanyard or putting the drive on a keychain. The swiveling-cover design isn't perfect, mainly because it can't protect both connectors when the drive isn't in use-like when it's in a pocket or a backpack, and most likely to be exposed to dirt and lint. Measuring just 0.74 by 0.5 by 1.68 inches (HWD), there's not much more to the drive, but there is also a molded plastic section connecting the two plug ends, and a cover that swivels to cover either one end or the other. The Dual USB Type-C drive has a USB-C connector on one end, and a more traditional USB 3.0 port on the other. If you're an early adopter with one of those devices, or you just want to have a storage solution that won't be obsolete when USB-C is ubiquitous in a few years, then this drive is worth considering. The only problem is that, as of now, you'll only find USB-C connections on the OnePlus 2 phone ($299.00 at Plusnet Mobile) and the Apple Macbook (2015) and Google Chromebook Pixel (2015) ( at Amazon) laptops. USB-C, the up-and-coming replacement to the USB ports we've all been using for a decade, is smaller, allows slimmer device designs, and even eliminates the headache of trying to plug in a USB cable upside down.
The 32GB SanDisk Dual USB Type-C flash drive ($49.99) is a two-headed solution to a very specific problem. Middling performance from both connectors.Swiveling cap only covers one connection, not both.
