Kingston announces new device packing in 256GB

Kingston announced a new device called the DataTraveler 300 which packs in 256GB of storage space all in a slim flash drive design. Actually, it’s storage capacity breaks records, doubling the amount the closest competitor offers.

The new flash drive can hold approximately 10 Blu-ray movies and has a speedy 20MB/s read and 10MB/s write speed. All in all, this little gadget is pretty impressive, putting as much storage as a regular hard drive in your pocket.

The DataTraveler 300 works with both PCs and Macs, though only Windows-based computers can make use of the password software. You can get the drive in the UK now for the equivalent of $900, but a US release is likely in the near future.

As Aram Chopuryan, executive director of RAS Computers, the leading importer of Kingston products in Armenia, told a PanARMENIAN.Net reporter, the company’s price list doesn’t contain the novelty yet but it will be possible to obtain the device through an advance order.
