CES 2018: Kingston to Showcase New SSDs, Nucleum 7-in-1 USB Type C Hub and More
At CES 2018, Kingston will its family of solid-state drives, like the upcoming DCU1000, encrypted USB Flash drives, the Nucleum 7-in-1 Type-C media hub for MacBooks as well as mobile and embedded solutions.
The Nucleum is a 7-in-1 Type C USB hub designed for newer MacBooks as it provides extra USB-C and USB-A ports as well as HDMI and SD/microSD card slots.
Featuring multiple ports, the hub is built to handle all of the accessories consumers have such as mice, keyboards and even a second monitor. Nucleum users can power up a MacBook while also running an external hard drive and charging an iPhone simultaneously.
