Kingston issues its first USB 3.0 thumb drive: DataTraveler Ultimate 3.0
It ain’t the first, but it’s Kingston’s first, regardless. The DataTraveler Ultimate 3.0 is the company’s first foray into the wild and blossoming world of high(er)-speed thumb drives, with this guy in particular pulling down read speeds of up to 80MB/sec and write speeds of 60MB/sec. It’s available in a trio of sizes (16GB, 32GB and 64GB), with a five-year warranty affixed to each. Regrettably, such speed and capaciousness won’t run ya cheap, as these fellows are priced at $89, $138 and $270 in order of mention.
Nothing the corporate card can’t handle, though.
