Launched this month, Kingston Technology Data Traveler 150, the USB Flash Drive, which are already available in 32 GB version, now comes with 64 gigabytes of memory.
The only difference we could see the model 150 and other USB flash drives was the thickness as a result of the additional circuits packed into the 3in x 0.9in x 0.5in body.

Supported operating systems, which disk with the Microsoft Windows Vista, XP and 2000, along with Mac OS X and Linux kernel version 2.6 and higher. However, the device offers no support for Microsoft Windows Vista Ready Boost, which improves the performance of speeding through random disk reads data in the cache to flash drive.
We have the speed using SimpliSoftware RW recorded in the HD version 3.0.1.0 comparison utility, which has Kingston DT150 is the average speed of 31.8 MB read / write speed of the average 9.7 MB / sec
Our testing of the system with an Intel Pentium 4 Extreme Edition 3.4GHz processor 533MHz and 1 gigabyte of system memory and runs on Windows XP Professional.
We also ran a real tests using the file transfer system running Vista Ultimate with a 2.26GHz Intel Core 2 Duo processor at 667 MHz and 2 GB. System memory. Test file uses more than 4000 files and added to the total size of 3.14 GB of data, and other data rates between 3.3 megabytes / is 3.7 megabytes and / s. The writing test file mix a number of small files, 1 kb and less Which are not, as larger files. Files larger than 20 GB gave write rates by more than 6.5 MB / sec
A problem that we did was that encounter with Windows XP, you can format a disk with a capacity of 32 GB with a 32-bit File Allocation Table (FAT32) file system, but disks that are larger than this, such as the Kingston 64 gigabyte disk can be formatted with the new file system (NTFS), which is the format used during the tests.
Kingston talking with experts, with the NTFS format should be made through administrative procedures disk tool that is available via the control panel. Kingston said that users using the FAT32 format DT150/64GB the MacBook Pro should have no problems.
At this moment, the main problem with this USB 2.0 flash drives is standard in itself, which is beginning to show its age, especially in cases where the disks to deal with such large capacity as DT150 64 has two gigabytes of notification this month indicates support is at hand for people who want to make use of large equipment vol.
Vendor semiconductor components Symwave announced what they claim is the world’s first physical layer device to meet USB 3.0 specifications, and data on the basis of theoretical 5Gbit / s or 625 MB / sec device, which Symwave says is 10 times faster than The current USB devices would be welcome, especially in terms of two to three years on the road is not difficult to imagine Flash drives with a capacity of 1 TB.
On the other notice involves two double USB 2.0 hardware peripherals launched solutions Kangur manufacturer. One end of the device has an external eSATA interface, which allows the read / write speed of data transmission significantly. For example, a recent revision of the Intel X25-M of 80 GB solid state disk, he read speed of approximately 135 MB / sec
The furore over the continued loss of data, equipment, as this would pose major challenges for IT managers with a total capacity for storing large amounts of data without your own encryption. However, Kingston is sold on board flash drives with encryption.
Kingston DT150 is 64 gigabytes in five-year warranty and is now available.
