Kingston Data Traveler 300 Announced [World's First 256GB USB Flash Drive]

World leaders when it comes to memories and storage devices, Kingston have just announced their new Data Traveler 300, the world’s first 256GB USB flash drive. The highest capacity USB thumb drive, the new Data Traveler 300 is a modern technological marvel that will boast transfer rates of up to 20 MB/s read and 10 MB/s write.

Perfect for both business and home users that would like to bump the limited storage capacity on their netbooks and a notebooks, working with huge volumes of data on the new Kingston Data Traveler 300 is like actually owning an external hard drive. It features a sleek cap-less design, comes packed with Password Traveler security software, supports Windows ReadyBoost in Vista and does not require Administrator rights to access the Privacy Zone.

The big drawback, however, is the fact that the Data Traveler 300 is only available in Europe and United Kingdom, comes with a five year warranty and has a 565.67 GBP (some $924 at today’s rate) price tag attached.
