If you’re thinking about buying a new flash drive and speed is one of the most important details, check out the new DataTraveler 410 from Kingston which was upgraded very recently. The upgrade comes in a form of better read and write speeds, more specifically 20MBps in both types, which are above the average.

In addition to the good speeds to transfer data, the Kingston DataTraveler 410 comes with SecureTraveler software, which means you can use a password to protect all the data. The flash drive is available in 4 different storage capacities, with prices going from $26 (for 4GB) up to $134 (for 32GB). In the middle we’ve got 8GB at $46, and 16GB for $84.

Having 256GB on a thumb drive may seem like a luxury to some and a necessity to others. Whatever the case, this thing is expensive.

For $900 you will be able to grab one of Kingston’s 256GB DataTraveler 300 thumb drives. It has compatibility for just about ever OS you can throw at it along with data transfers of 20MB/sec read and 10MB/sec write.

And just for clarification, this thing is $900, you can buy several terabytes worth of space for that kind of money. Then again, it always costs to be an early adopter.

Kingston has announced the release of its latest USB Flash Drive, the DataTraveler which incidentally is compatible with the Apple Mac operating systems ((OSX 10.4x – 10.5x).

“Our DataTraveler Vault – Privacy Edition has been popular with enterprise and government customers who use Windows-based systems and are looking for a safe and secure way to transport portable data,” said Mark Akoubian, Flash memory business manager, Kingston. “We are happy to add Mac support to this 100-percent secured drive so the Apple community can be assured they have an on-the-go storage solution that is the best on the market at safeguarding data.”

Data onboard the DTVP is secured by hardware-based, on-the-fly, 256-bit Advanced Encryption Standard (AES). The drive has fast data transfer rates and is protected from brute-force attacks by locking down after 10 unsuccessful login attempts. After lockdown, a reformat is necessary to make the Flash drive operable again.

In the market of USB flash drives 32GB is a big number, and that is exactly the same amount of storage in the DatraTraveler 150 which was released by Kingston. This portable device is the biggest - in terms of storage - in the DataTraveler line. Gone are the days when 4GB was alright.

The Kingston drive has unique characteristics that aren’t directly related to the product itself, such as a 5-year warranty and technical support. These must be two of the few special services applied to flash drives, don’t you think?

With 32GB some people might wonder if the drive would be bigger than usual in dimension, but that is not the case, it only measures 77.9mm x 22mm x 12.05mm.

- Operating Temperature: 32 degrees F to 140 degrees F (0 degrees C to 60 degrees C)
- Storage Temperature: -4 degrees F to 185 degrees F (-20 degrees C to 85 degrees C)
