While we have been hearing about loads of USB 3.0 storage devices and here is the first Flash Drive (or Pen Drive as many still call it) from that is USB 3.0 enabled. Kingston has announced its Datatraveler Ultimate 3.0 (DTU30) in the Indian markets. USB 3.0 would bump write speeds up to 60MB/sec and read speeds of 80MB/sec on the DT Ultimate 3.0. Kingston also throws in a Y cable for compatibility with older USB 2.0 systems (which are out there in plenty). This is available in 16/32 and 64GB capacities. Pricing is unknown for now, but we have our ninjas out there to get the rates 🙂
During internal testing, a 1 hour 44 minute movie (3.9GB) was written to the drive in 1 minute 13 seconds. Similarly, a 2 hour 23 minute DVD (4.4GB) transferred to the drive at a fast 1 minute 23 seconds (Source: Kingston)
