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.
