Our verdict

A dual-connector drive that moves photos and video off USB-C phones and tablets onto computers. Phones need OTG support, and thick cases can block the port.

Overview

Freeing space on a phone takes one plug with the PNY Duo Link, which has USB-C on one end for phones, tablets and new laptops and USB-A on the other for older computers.

One drive bridges phone and computer without cloud uploads or WiFi. Write speed is lower than read, and phones must support OTG.

Who it's for

Travelers and parents filling phone storage with photos suit a drive that plugs straight in. Owners of older Lightning iPhones need a different connector.

Pros and cons

Pros
  • USB-C and USB-A in one
  • No WiFi needed
  • Works across Android, PC and Mac
Cons
  • Phone must support OTG
  • Write speed below read
  • Thick cases may block the plug

Performance notes

Read speed peaks on fast USB hosts, while older ports and phones transfer more slowly. Write speed varies and is lower than read, so big uploads to the drive take longer.
