Kingston Launches USB 3.0 Flash Drive

Kingston has announced the launch of its first USB 3.0 Flash drive in India. The drive, branded as the DataTraveler Ultimate, makes use of the faster data transfer rates in USB 3.0.

If you’re still wondering whether or not to invest in a USB 3.0 compatible device, let us inform you that USB 3.0 devices can transfer data almost 10 times faster than our good ol’ USB 2.0. The DataTraveler Ultimate 3.0 boasts of a read speed of 80MB/sec and a write speed of 60MB/sec. It is available in 16GB, 32GB and 64GB capacities. Kingston has also cleverly added a Y cable to ensure backward compatibility of the drive with USB 2.0 ports. This is because some USB 2.0 ports require this cable to kick start USB 3.0 drives. Kingston adds that in internal tests the drive was able to transfer a 1 hour 44 minute movie worth 3.9GB in just over a minute. The Kingston DataTraveler Ultimate 3.0 USB Flash drive is backed by a five-year warranty and free tech support.
