About Hardware Kingston MicroSD 1GB
The Kingston MicroSD 1GB is a compact flash memory card designed for portable devices such as smartphones, cameras, and tablets. With a microSD form factor, it offers 1GB of storage capacity, ideal for basic file storage needs like documents, low-resolution photos, or music files. This card utilizes a standard SD interface, ensuring broad compatibility with devices that support microSD or SDHC formats.
Though it lacks the high-speed performance of modern UHS-I or UHS-II cards, its modest read/write speeds are sufficient for light data transfer tasks and basic multimedia usage. The card’s durability—resistant to shock, vibration, and extreme temperatures—makes it a reliable choice for environments where physical durability is prioritized.
While its 1GB capacity is limited compared to current high-capacity microSD cards, this Kingston variant remains a cost-effective solution for users requiring affordable, portable storage for legacy devices or minimal data backup. It is particularly suitable for applications where large storage or high-speed access is not critical, offering a budget-friendly alternative to newer, higher-end flash storage options.
This hardware test uses a card reader from VENTION with a GL3224 controller model.

About Hardware Kingston Data Traveler Exodia Onyx 64GB
The Kingston DataTraveler Exodia Onyx 64GB is a stylish, modern flash drive that offers ample storage capacity and high performance in a compact format. Featuring a USB 3.2 Gen 1 interface, it is capable of high-speed data transfers, ideal for users who frequently move between devices and need a fast and reliable portable solution.
With a capacity of 64GB, this flash drive can store various types of files such as work documents, photo collections, videos, and application installers. The USB 3.2 Gen 1 technology (USB 3.0 compatible) enables efficient transfer of large files, while still supporting full compatibility with USB 2.0 ports, ensuring versatility across devices.
In tests using a Lenovo IdeaPad Slim 3i 14ITL6 laptop with Intel Core i5-1135G7 processor, 12GB dual channel RAM, and Windows 11 22H2 operating system, this flash drive recorded the following performance:
- CrystalDiskMark:
- Read: 89.08 MB/s
- Write: 19.50 MB/s
- ATTO Disk Benchmark (64MB block):
- Read: 168.42 MB/s
- Write: 18.60 MB/s
The benchmark results show that this flash drive has a fairly high read speed, especially in burst or sequential access scenarios, although the write speed is fairly standard for the entry-level USB flash drive class. This is quite common in flash drive products with economy generation NAND flash and no DRAM cache, such as the one used in the Exodia Onyx.
Physically, the Kingston Exodia Onyx comes with a sleek and modern all-matte black design. The cap-shaped cover provides extra protection for the USB connector when not in use, and the included hanger hole allows this flash drive to be easily connected to a keychain or lanyard. The Kingston name remains a guarantee of quality and long-term durability in the portable storage media segment.
While this flash drive is not the fastest choice for large write jobs, such as video editing directly from the drive, the Kingston DataTraveler Exodia Onyx 64GB remains an affordable, reliable and stylish option for everyday use such as storing office files, backups or transferring data between devices.
