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.

As USB 3.0 is slowly becoming integrated into more products such as the latest generation of PC motherboards more companies are releasing products to take advantage of this technology's speed gains.

Maybe I got a rear duff one, maybe I didn't

It would be very good if it hadn't have stopped working

Got it from 'TechNextDay' to plug into my stereo so it could play mp3 files of it; I filled it up quite a bit; Was working fine doing this; Then I decided to put an an extra album on there; This sort of worked fine; The tracks were mixed up in there order for some strange reason.
