The device features a USB Type-A interface and supports USB version 3.2 Gen 2 (3.1 Gen 2), enabling fast data transfer.

The design of the stick is compact and flat, with a Dia form factor, characterised by a slim build. The product colour is silver, giving it a modern and professional appearance. An integrated keychain allows convenient attachment to a keyring or pocket, ensuring safe transport of the stick.

Applications

The USB stick is suitable for use in office environments, mobile workflows or for temporary data storage. It is particularly useful for transferring large file volumes between devices, as the USB 3.2 Gen 2 technology offers significantly higher transfer rates than USB 2.0. The capacity of 256 GB is sufficient to store extensive file collections, such as project files, presentations or digital media libraries. Due to its compact dimensions (17.6 mm width, 53.3 mm depth, 7.2 mm height) and low weight of 13.9 g, the stick is easy to carry and can be taken along without additional effort.

Functions and equipment in detail

The stick features a push-pull mechanism, where the connector can be pulled out of the housing by simple pulling and reinserted without requiring an additional lock or cap. This design ensures quick and convenient handling. The silver colour of the housing gives the device a professional look, fitting well in business contexts. The integrated keychain allows secure attachment, preventing the stick from being lost. The packaging type is a transparent package, protecting the stick from damage while simultaneously displaying the product features.

Technology explained simply

The USB version 3.2 Gen 2 (3.1 Gen 2) offers significantly higher data transfer rates than older USB versions. The specified read speed of 75 MB/s enables fast opening and copying of files, especially large files such as videos or graphic files. The USB Type-A interface is widely used and compatible with most computer and laptop USB ports. The Dia form factor describes the flat, rectangular shape, making the stick compact and easy to handle. The weight specification of 13.9 g highlights the lightness of the device, making it suitable for daily transport.

Compatibility and accessories

The USB stick is compatible with all devices featuring a USB Type-A port, including PCs, laptops, notebooks and some smart TVs or media streamers. The USB 3.2 Gen 2 technology is backward compatible with USB 2.0, so the stick also works with older devices, although with the speed limitations of the USB 2.0 interface.

Installation and mounting

Installation is done by simply inserting the USB stick into a free USB port on the device. No additional software or driver installation is required, as the stick is designed as a plug-and-play device. The packaging contains a single USB stick, as stated by the manufacturer.
