Kingston Data Traveler 300 with a Whopping 256GB

Posted by Vincent On July - 20 - 2009

kingston-data-traveler-300It’s a bird, it’s a plane, no wait, it’s the jumbo 256GB USB thumb drive from Kingston.  Talk about Moore’s law in action, doubling the memory capacity almost every two years.  We’re pretty sure at some point in time that you might need 256GB of data storage.  Say like, when you need to copy a bunch of videos from your friend’s house or CAD drawing plans or 3D modeling project for a movie studio. At 256GB capacity, you can store over 50,000 images, 54 DVDs, or 365 CDs. The Kingston Data Traveler 300 can transfer data at a rate up to 20 MB/sec and read at 10 MB/sec.  At this speed, it is relatively slow compare to a typical 7200rpm desktop hard drive has a sustained “disk-to-buffer” data transfer rate of about 70 megabytes per second.  Too bad, this product is only available custom made in Europe and UK, and it will cost you a whopping $924 for each stick.  No thanks, we would rather stick to SSD drives with a portable enclosure.  The SSD drives not only have 10X faster transfer rate, but also cheaper at one fourth  the cost of the Kingston Data Traveler 300.  We’re guessing this is just a show model to see how much Kingston can push the technology.  Check out the full spec here Kingston Data Traveler 300.
