Description

A connector that stays protected without a cap

When not in use, the USB plug is tucked inside the housing, so it does not get scratched or collect lint in your pocket. You can slide it out with one hand, which is handy at a TV or car USB port. According to ADATA, the matte surface resists scratches and dirt, and the drive weighs 10 g.

Who this USB flash drive is for

Anyone who wants a simple, easy-to-use stick for everyday files: pupils with schoolwork, office workers with documents, and families carrying photos and videos around. 256 GB is enough for several years of pictures and larger video files.

Questions & answers

Does it have password or fingerprint protection?

No, the UV128 has no password protection, PIN or fingerprint reader. For sensitive files you can use the operating system's encryption.

Does it work with a Mac?

Yes, Mac OS X 10.6 or later is supported, as are Windows XP, Vista, 7, 8, 8.1 and 10 and Linux kernel 2.6 or later, with no driver required.

How fast is it?

Read speed is up to 100 MB/s. The manufacturer does not specify the write speed; in a USB 2.0 port the speed is lower because of the port itself.
