Kingston DataTraveler 310 USB Flash Drive

Kingston has finally started shipping DataTraveler 310 USB Flash Drives in US. What’s wild is that 256GB is large even when you’re talking SSDs; to see this size in the palm of your hand in the form of a USB drive is almost unbelievable.

It’s Kingston’s first-ever 256GB Flash Drive to ship in the U.S., and it replaces the DataTraveler 300 which was released in July 2009 to the Asia/Pacific and Europe, Middle East and Africa regions. The DataTraveler 310 features Password Traveler software, which allows the user to create and access a password-protected privacy zone. It’s also compatible with pretty much any software system out there, but only a few of you will actually be interested. Why? The $1108 price, which is simply outrageous (but understandable given how rare this kind of device still is).

The DataTraveler 310 features Password Traveler software, which allows the user to create and access a password-protected privacy zone. The secure area of the drive can account for up to 90 percent of the drive’s capacity and does not require administrator rights.

The DataTraveler 310 has a protective cap that snaps onto the back for the drive for convenient storage when not in use. This drive is available only in 256GB and is backed by a five-year warranty and 24/7 tech support. For more information visit www.kingston.com.
