Kingston 32GB microSD Mobility Kit Review

9

MicroSD cards have been around since mid-2005. Initially designed to be used in smartphones where space was at a premium, these cards have now evolved and are being used in many devices.

Kingston, being one of the largest vendors in non-volatile memory solutions, has put together what they are calling the mobility kit. This solution gives you a 4, 8, 16, or 32GB microSD card in your choice of Class 4 or UHS I Class 10 with the added bonus of a SD adapter and USB adapter. The model we had sent over for review today is the 32GB UHS I Class 10 solution.

Compatibility extends to modern Windows operating system, OS X 10.5+, and Linux kernel 2.6+ support.

MSRP for the Kingston Mobility Kit in the 32GB flavour is listed at $19.99 with a lifetime warranty.

The Kingston Mobility Kit is one of those products that you really don't know you need until you have it. At this point, you find yourself using it on a consistent basis just because it's so handy to have both adapters.
