Kingston ships 128GB Wi-Drive for storage-hungry Android, iOS users

Kingston Wi-Drive

One of the quirks we encountered with Kingston's original Wi-Drive was its capacity. For a device that's all about expanding storage for Android and iOS devices, it didn't have much more to offer beyond what we already had.
