The useful details
Know what
you’re getting.
The x206C is a USB flash drive with both Type-A and Type-C connectors, allowing a compatible host to use the connector it provides. The metal swivel design protects and exposes the connection as needed. This version has a 128 GB capacity.
It lists Windows 7, 8, 10 and 11, plus macOS 10.x or later. A Type-C socket alone does not establish mobile-device or file-system compatibility, and write performance is not given.
The two connector types make this drive useful when moving files between computers with different port layouts. Select the connector that matches the host, expose it with the swivel mechanism and use the drive as removable storage. This can avoid carrying a separate connector adapter for those supported computers, but does not establish compatibility with every phone or tablet. The 12.5 g body and 47.5 × 12 × 7.4 mm dimensions suit a small accessory pouch. The maximum read figure concerns accessing stored data, so copying files onto the drive may take a different amount of time. Usable formatted space is below 128 GB.
