Review on Kingston Digital FCR-ML3C MobileLite Duo 3C: USB 3.1 + Type C MicroSD Card Reader by Michael Radhakrishnan

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Boiling hot - do not touch!

Kingston Digital FCR-ML3C MobileLite Duo 3C, USB 3.1 + Type C, Microsd Card Reader, microSDHC/microSDXC (ASIN ‎B07416LQVM)Kingston make great products, but this isn't one of them. Reasonable transmission rates, but extremely dangerous for living organisms. Per ASTM C1055: Human skin will burn continuously after 5 seconds of contact with a 140°F surface. I measured a read/write temperature of over 137°F in less than a minute while writing data from my phone! So there are good reasons for a flash drive to run warm/hot, but that doesn't mean it has to be hot enough to actually feel. I have other readers/writers who aren't too hot to handle. Can't in good conscience recommend this product.

Pros
  • Electronics
Cons
  • Ugly Packaging
