1. Introduction2. The Kingston Wi-Drive3. Testing with iOS and Android4. Closing Thoughts5. View All Pages

Today we are looking at the Kingston Wi-Drive. This portable device can be used to wirelessly transmit and share content with up to three tablets or smartphones simultaneously. Photos, videos and music can be shared with iOS and Android devices. Simply download a free Wi-Drive application, or access directly through a web browser. We have already reviewed similar devices, such as the ADATA DashDrive Air AE400 and the Patriot Gauntlet. How does the Kingston Wi-Drive compare?

The ADATA DashDrive Air AE400 was a useful product and it scored well in our review in March this year. It had no storage onboard, but you could pair it up with an SD card. The Kingston Wi-Drive is different as there are 32GB, 64GB and 128GB flash memory options available. Today we are looking at the 64GB version, which is available for around £75 inc vat.

Many smartphones and tablets are supplied without expansion slots. This makes media storage rather difficult especially if you have a small capacity Nexus device for instance. The battery powered Kingston Wi-Drive is designed to solve this problem.
