Kingston is a leader in memory products, and they offer a wide range of system memory, solid state drives, and flash memory solutions. While flash memory capacities continue to grow, read/write speeds from computers have typically been limited by USB 2.0 performance. With USB 3.0 capable of much higher transfer rates, this opens the opportunity to increase the speed at which you access your flash memory.
In this review we will be taking a look at Kingston's new MobileLite G3, an extremely compact USB 3.0 SDHC and Micro SDHC UHS-I card reader. In order to put this new card reader to the test, Kingston also provided one of their new 16GB UHS-I 233X SDHC cards, which takes advantage of the UHS (Ultra High Speed) transfer rates.
