How much faster can USB 3 really be?

The Kingston DataTraveler Ultimate 3.0 is a chunky USB 3.0 thumbdrive with a good turn of speed and capacity up to 64GB

Significantly faster than USB 2.0 flash drives

A little on the chunky side; doesn't realise the full potential of USB 3.0

I purchased this flash drive last week and received it last Saturday. This drive's capless design is very nice and it even has an indicator light on the drive where the shield rotates on the drive itself (so you can tell if the drive is being actively accessed).

It was selected as part of "7 Hi-Speed and Professional Flash Drives for 2010" by HardwareInsight.com, and a detailed unboxing and review video by video blogger Linus Tech Tips does a competent job of walking through the DT 101 G2 drive's features.

Great value for price; Swivel cap impossible to lose; Optional urDrive Software loads browser; apps on board; Multiple colors available

Slow; Design is old; Not a bootable drive (even with urDrive

I've only opened one so far and have been saving jpg images of my brother's comics as part of his Christmas present. At the present time, no problems. It is a simple USB link, showed up in my Windows Explorer without difficulties.

The capacity for the price is good. Kingston is also a good brand to buy. However this flash drive is painfully slow to copy to and from.

So starting another year of university and I felt I needed a new memory stick to be able to quickly store, organise and have another memory to store anything I would need for my course. I was looking around my local computer store and came across this.

But my big complaint is that they seemed to have changed the interior design a bit. The drives I just got no longer have an LED to indicate activity. I needed this and assumed that since the first box had this, the rest would too. I was mistaken. I am NOT happy about this.

Works well for the price

I have bought two boxes of these (25 in each) separated by a couple of months; The first drive I tried died in a few minutes.

Wow wow wow. This USB flash drive is fast, very fast. USB3.0 makes a huge speed difference and Kingston G2 Ultimate has been made for speed and nothing else but speed!

Really good for backing up my things, or even plug it with music in the car!
