Cost falls for USB 3.0

Kingston Technology has announced the DataTraveler Elite 3.0, a capless USB 3.0 flash drive, which comes in 16GB, 32GB or 64GB capacities and is aimed as an economical choice for customers.

Kingston Technology has released the Kingston DataTraveler Elite 3.0. This product is based on the USB 3.0 standard and is an economical choice for consumers looking for fast data transfers that will enable users to store and transfer their digital content quickly.

‚As consumers store and carry more High Definition (HD) video, digital artwork, music and presentations, faster devices are required to keep pace with one’s digital lifestyle,‚ says Grant Rau, business development manager, Kingston Technology South Africa. ‚The new DataTraveler Elite, with USB 3.0 technology adds to our USB 3.0 family range and is the perfect solution for those who require faster transfer speeds, without breaking the budget.‚

The DataTraveler Elite 3.0 helps consumers save time. For example, in internal testing, the DataTraveler Elite 3.0 was roughly twice as fast as a standard USB 2.0 flash drive, copying over 22GB of data. The testing was done with a single Blu-ray movie, over 10,000 photos and more than 4,000 songs.

The DataTraveler Elite 3.0 is backwards compatible with USB 2.0. The product is available in 16GB, 32GB and 64GB capacities and features a sleek, capless and retractable design to protect the USB connector. This allows users to keep the drive with them at all times, as it can be easily attached to a key ring or lanyard.

The Kingston DataTraveler Elite 3.0 is backed by a five-year warranty, and 24/7 live technical support. For more information, please visitwww.kingston.com/europee.
