Keep on Travelin
Updated: February 20
(Kingston DataTraveler 310 replaces the 300 as 256GB USB drive in the US;
DataTraveler 5000 released as an upgrade of the BlackBox)
The highlights in our second part of Kingston Flash Drives are without a doubt models like the Kingston DataTraveler 200 or 310. Why? Because they break new ground with storage capacities such as 128 and 256GB. And for safer ground there are secure editions like the DataTraveler 5000 or Vault, especially for use in government or enterprises. Let the journey continue…

Would recommend the datatraveler drives from Kingston. Works great on my windows notebook but have faced problems on my Mac system.
March 16th, 2011 at 12:48 pm
Is there a recommendation for a MAC?
Its a great concept, 128GB, wow, how things have moved on
March 16th, 2011 at 10:55 pm
David,
most flash drives should work fine with MAC (as theyre usually formatted in FAT32). Having said that, there are flash drives out there specifically engineered for MAC like this Verbatim Store n Go or the white Centon DataStick Secure. You can enter “MAC” into the search field to the right and sift through the search results via “previous entries”, looking for the green highlighted text.

If you travel a lot and you want to have your files save with you, those memory sticks are the best.

My personal favorite memory stick brand is Kingston. They never break even after several years of use and constant abuse. I’d recommend the water resistant one.
