Kingston has announced that it is shipping its first USB 3.0 Flash drive -- the Kingston DataTraveler Ultimate 3.0 -- that has up to ten times the data transfer rates of the current USB 2.0 specification.







The DataTraveler Ultimate 3.0 has a read speed of 80MB/s and a write speed of 60MB/s. It is available in 16GB, 32GB and 64GB capacities.



According to Kingston, a 1 hour 44 minute movie (3.9GB) was written to the drive in 1 minute 13 seconds during internal testing. Similarly, a 2 hour 23 minute DVD (4.4GB) transferred to the drive at a fast 1 minute 23 seconds



To ensure backwards compatibility, Kingston is also including a Y cable as some USB 2.0 ports require it to initialise USB 3.0 drives.



"USB 3.0 is the next major milestone in Flash memory for USB products and Kingston wants to have a solution in the marketplace for early adopters," said Nathan Su, Flash Memory Sales Director, APAC Region, Kingston. "The DataTraveler Ultimate 3.0 is our first USB 3.0 Flash drive offering and is designed for enthusiasts who like to embrace new technology before it goes mainstream."



Pricing for the DataTraveler Ultimate 3.0 starts at RM230 for 16GB, while the 32GB and 64GB drives are priced at RM345 and RM620 respectively.
