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…

Ultimate Traveling

Posted by: DT  :  Category: Kingston

Updated: February 13, 2011
(see DataTraveler R500)

After Super Talent’s USB 3.0 disks – like the Express Drive – we have another major brand joining the super speed revolution. Kingston has released its first USB 3.0 flash drive, the aptly called DataTraveler Ultimate 3.0. It has the same bodywork as the 256GB DT310 for 2.0, but offers softer colors and more budget-conscious capacities. And for those who aren’t up for 3.0, Kingston is also releasing new high speed USB 2.0 drives such as the R500.

DataTraveler

Updated: October 24, 2010
(The next generations have been released.
See DataTraveler G3, 100 G2 and 101 G2.)


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
256GB, Kingston has also gone into the business of rattling it.

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. ;-)

Let our journey of Kingston DataTraveler begin…
