Kingston Data Traveler Mini 3.0
This is also a 32GB pen drive but slimmer than the R3.0 G2, however it is not as fast when it comes to read / write speed. The Data Traveler Mini 3.0 has got a metal body, it is slim and the greyish end is made of plastic of extra grip – when removing / inserting the pen drive.

The read / writing speed was not mentioned on the pack. I used the Speedout app for checking the speed – read speed was 38MB/s and write speed was 22MB/s on USB 3.0 and on USB 2.0 the read speed was 25Mb/s and write speed was 11MB/s.

The 32GB Kingston Data Traveler mini 3.0 is priced at Rs. 1,400.
