With 1000 GB of capacity, the DS72 has room for extensive photo archives, video projects, music collections and work documents on a single drive. Instead of spreading data across several smaller sticks, you can keep entire folders together and take them wherever you go. It also works well as a secondary backup for important files, giving you a physical copy that does not depend on an internet connection or cloud subscription.
The main advantage of the DS72 is its two connectors. The USB Type-A plug fits the ports found on most desktop PCs, older laptops, TVs and car stereos. The USB Type-C plug suits modern laptops, tablets and smartphones that support external storage. This means you can copy files from a phone to a computer, or the other way round, with one drive and no extra adapters or cables.
The drive uses the USB 3.2 Gen 2 standard, one of the current generations of the USB specification. Connected to a compatible port, it can take advantage of the faster data transfer the standard supports. The manufacturer does not list specific read or write speeds for this model, so actual performance will depend on the host device, its port and the type of files being copied.
Weighing just 0.02 kg, the DS72 is easy to slip into a pocket, a laptop bag or a pencil case. The gold colour gives it a distinctive look and makes it easier to spot on a cluttered desk or at the bottom of a bag. It does not contain a built-in battery and draws power directly from the device it is plugged into, so there is nothing to charge.
Because the connectors are built into the drive, there are no cables to carry or lose. Plug it straight into a port and your files are ready to open, copy or edit. This simplicity is handy when you need to hand over a presentation, share holiday photos with family or move a project from a work computer to a home laptop.
The DS72 suits students moving coursework between devices, photographers and content creators who need extra space for media, and office workers who switch between older and newer computers. It is also practical for anyone with an Android phone or tablet and a USB Type-A computer who wants a quick, cable-free way to transfer files between the two.
