(see DataTraveler 112 and 160)

There are also smaller DataTraveler, proving that one can journey without baggage but still with storage. As Kingston continues to rule the USB memory market with a bunch of releases such as the DT 5000 and the US-specific 256GB flash drive, it also presents alternatives for those looking for simple and stylish efficiency – especially if on a budget. In hindsight, the DataTraveler 102 released in late 2009 was just the precursor of smaller things to come…

LaCie

Posted by: DT  :  Category: Brands

When LaCie came out with the ingenious key shaped itsaKey, one might say that a small USB revolution was started. A key moment in flash drive history, so to speak. Demand and popularity became so high that 4 more LaCie USB Keys have been released since then – with new shapes, higher capacities and slimmer USB connectors. The cool thing is that you really can’t tell the difference between these and regular keys, so you may have to look twice when sitting in front of your computer and getting out your key bunch. If you don’t want to put up with that, LaCie also offers a couple of non-key designs – equally handsome and practical.

C’est la vie with LaCie!

Today we will start a series on Kingston flash drives and its trademark model, the DataTraveler. It has definitely placed its mark on the market, maybe even put it there. Now with the release of the world’s first 128GB Flash Drive as well as

The DataTraveler is often abbreviated as the DT, which I testify is pure coincidence. Nonetheless I feel honored and starting with today’s post, I will try to pay back some respect. ;-)
