I'm happy with its speed and capacity but I'm a little bit disappointed about its size and weight.

Kingston, a leading memory vendor has just announced their first USB 3.0 flash drive almost a year later than the world first USB 3.0 flash drive in Nov 2009. This is understandable as it takes time for the market to accept and acknowledge all the new technologies before they go into mass production...

+ Greater speeds than USB2.0 devices; + Strong & durable Aluminum housing; + Minimal overheated problem; + Comes with 5 years warranty

- A bit bulky; - Not cheap

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.

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.

Fast and small is good, right? At least that's how it works in the computer world. And USB flash drives are no different; we like them fast for data transfer, but also come in a small package.

Fast speeds; capless design; durable; large capacity; good price

No encryption; could block adjacent USB ports

Most of us use a USB pen drive on some level or another, whether it is to keep offline document backups or to move files between work and home machines. Today we are looking at the new Kingston Data Traveler Ultimate 64GB drive which is the first USB 3.0 pen drive we have tested.

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.

Was looking for a 64GB USB 3.0 stick and bought this. The other (cheaper) Kingston datatravelers have terrible reviews on amazon...so be warned! I get 120 MB/s read (less than advertised) but 94 MB (more than advertised!) write. Tested with a 2GB file writing to and from a 400 MB/s SSD. It's great!

Significantly faster than USB 2.0 flash drives

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