Kingston Technologies micro-SD card with Mobile Lite G4 Media Reader

The need to have more storage space on our mobile devices is becoming a necessity. We require more storage space so that we can take longer video’s, hold more of our pictures and are able to store and play our movies and songs on our portable devices; Phones and Tablets. Let’s face it, these days using an 8-16GBs micro-SD cards are just not cutting it anymore. We are starting to require the larger 32-64GBs micro-SD cards on our mobile devices.

Not to forget that these micro-SD cards also require transferring large amounts of DATA quickly, to and from our micro-SD cards. So the need to have a fast USB 3 to SD/micro SD card adapter has also become a requirement for us as well.
