Kingston Technology Corp. DTMC3G2/256GB DataTraveler Micro 256GB USB flash drive

Ultra-small 256 GB USB drive

The Kingston DataTraveler Micro is a low-profile flash drive with a premium metal casing and a built-in key loop. It uses a USB Type-A connector and operates under the USB 3.2 Gen 1 specification. The drive offers 256 GB of storage capacity and read speeds up to 200 MB/s. Its ultra-compact design allows it to stay plugged into a port without obstructing adjacent slots.

Plug-and-stay storage for multiple devices

The drive fits directly into any standard USB Type-A port on computers, printers or gaming consoles without requiring cables or external power. Its low-profile metal body sits flush against the chassis, freeing up physical space around the port. The integrated key loop lets you attach it to a lanyard or keyring so the drive remains with the host device. No software installation is needed for basic file transfer and storage.

Suited for portable file transfer

This drive suits users who want a compact, leave-in solution for moving large media libraries between compatible USB Type-A hosts. It is not intended for buyers who need a write speed figure to estimate backup windows or verify sustained throughput. Shoppers requiring a USB Type-C connector or a different capacity tier should look at other models. The operating temperature range is 0 °C to 60 °C.
