 Today I will be unboxing a Kingston Data Traveler Ultimate 3.0. So the Data Traveler line of products from Kingston is their USB 3.0, or their USB storage thumb drives. Okay. So this is an Ultimate 3.0. So what the 3.0 means is that it is USB 3. So that means you are going to get faster speeds out of it than you will out of a USB 2 thumb drive. So this particular guy is a more value-oriented USB 3 drive. It's not quite the fastest one out there, but it's still going to be several times faster than anything on a USB 2.0 interface. It has that clamshell-type package that I'm really not a big fan of. And I forgot my knife upstairs, so I'm trying to struggle my way through this, but give me a second here, guys. So I forced it open with a screwdriver, of all things. There we go. Alright, so what's Kingston have to say for themselves about this guy? Well, they're saying up to 100 megabytes per second reads, up to 70 megabytes per second writes. Now my experience with these USB 3.0 thumb drives is that you're only really going to achieve those speeds in a scenario where you're reading or writing large files. So if you're doing small files, they will be smaller, but, or smaller, slower, but they will still be dramatically faster than the USB 2 equivalents. So here we go, speed read. Oh, okay, and it will max out a USB 2.0 interface at about 30 and 30 megabytes per second reads and writes. Now, that 30 is probably a little bit optimistic. I would think it would be more along the lines of about 25. In terms of real world testing with, you know, not one large sequential 16 gig file. This is the 16 gig version, but it is available in a variety of capacities. And it comes with a little keychain attacher piece, so you can use that to, well, attach it to your keychain through the loophole at the top. Although I would suggest using something a little bit more sturdy. These USB 3.0 drives still aren't cheap, so you're going to want to make sure that you don't accidentally lose it. So we'll have a quick look at the drive itself, which is actually very stylish. Okay, so you've got a nice cap here, which has a brushed metal finish on the sides of both sides of it, and then just white plastic here. You've got the USB 3.0 interface, which has, as you can see, the four standard USB pins, as well as the five extra USB 3.0 ones at the back. Then you've got more brushed metal finish on the sides here, Kingston logo. And then, as I mentioned before, you've got that hook on the top of it, so you could put like a keychain loop or whatever else you desire on it there. Now the top only fits on one way, so you won't accidentally put it on the wrong way, and it actually sticks fairly well, so there shouldn't be too much risk of losing that. There you go, that's the Data Traveler Ultimate G2 16 gig USB 3.0 external, well I guess it would have to be external, USB thumb drive.
