Gicktime, hello! Considering it my duty not only to cover past events, but also to open new horizons, I will appreciate information about new Kingston products that have just appeared on the market. The most popular flash drive models will become even more popular after the transition to the USB 3.0 standard. Under the cut, brief information about those models that you should pay attention to when buying in the near future.
DataTraveler SE9 G2 with USB 3.0 support. In a convenient housing without removable parts, the novelty is able to store and transfer up to 64 GB of photos, videos and music. Minimalist design and ultra-thin drive form factor perfectly complement any style.
Thanks to the USB 3.0 interface, the DataTraveler SE9 G2 will significantly speed up the process of transferring and saving files. The data reading speed reaches 100 MB / s, and the writing speed is up to 15 MB / s. The device is available in versions with 8, 16, 32, 64 GB of memory, which makes it easy to fit on it a whole multimedia library.
The robust metal housing of the DataTraveler SE9 G2 is ready to protect user data from bumps and falls. Additional reliability of the design is given by the absence of moving or removable parts, so that the owner does not face the loss of the cap from the flash drive. Thanks to a convenient opening, the drive can be used as a key ring. The sleek appearance and subtle form factor of the DataTraveler SE9 G2 will appeal to both fans of the classics and lovers of functional solutions.
DataTraveler® Locker + G3. In addition to supporting high-speed USB 3.0 interface, hardware encryption and password protection, these devices can now back up data for storage in the cloud.
Automatically send copies of files to the cloud service is configured in ClevX ™ USBtoCLOUD ™ software. The app supports Google Drive ™, OneDrive (Microsoft®), Amazon S3, Dropbox, and Box vaults. Thanks to the data backup function, all user files will remain safe and sound, even if the drive is lost.
For the first time, Kingston® and ClevX joined forces back in 2012 when they were working on a USB drive with encryption and a built-in anti-malware scanner for large corporate clients. The updated DataTraveler® Locker + G3 flash drive is another successful outcome of this collaboration.
“We are pleased to offer DataTraveler Locker + G3 owners a simple and convenient data backup. Previously, our drive protected user files with a strong case, passwords and data encryption. Now you can not be afraid even of the loss of the device itself. In addition, you can now work with copies of files from any place where there is Internet. ” - Notes Ken Campbell (Ken Campbell), head of flash devices division Kingston.
