Transferring files between 2 computers has been made extremely easy for a while now with flash drives.  These devices are small enough to fit in our pocket, deliver fast transfer speeds, and can hold quite a lot of data.  Today we are taking a look at one of Kingston's latest flash drives.

Outperformed listed specifications; Tough metal casing; Retractable design; 5 year warranty

None that I found

We have in our hands the Kingston's DataTraveler Ultimate 3.0 Generation 3 (DTU30G3), a USB 3.0 flash drive that supports data transfer rates of up to 150MB/s read and 70MB/s write, offering you the convenience of carrying files with incredible speed and ease.

More and more USB 3 portable storage devices are becoming available - they use the faster USB 3 ports on some newer computers to provide faster data transfer between the computer and the storage device.

Hard to imagine you can jam 64 gigs of info on such a small device, but here's the proof. No complaints at all.

This is a sleek drive. It's really very compact and easy to carry in your pant pocket, purse or wallet. And it comes very handy. Dane-Elec is a name I trust as I have been using its products and they all work well and are durable.

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

Slightly bigger and more expensive than a standard USB flash drive, but with many times

A lot has happened in the USB 3.0 world since we took a look at Kingston's first ‘Ultimate 3.0′ drive this past fall, and thanks to some progressions, the company has just released a ‘G2′ variant of the drive.

The Kingston DT Ultimate 32GB G2 is a fantastic USB drive that surpasses even our and Kingston's expectations for the drive. Although the drive itself may be on the pricey side, the performance and quality that you get from this drive are nearly worth every penny.

Back in Q2 2011 the marketing team over at Kingston Technology announced that the company had begun shipping its first second generation of USB 3.0 enabled DataTraveler Ultimate 3.0 Flash drives.
