Kingston DataTraveler 310 hits the deck

Kingston has released the first 256GB USB flash drive in the US under the guise of the DataTraveler 310, where it will oust the 256GB DataTraveler 300 that was made available last July in the Asia/Pacific and Europe, Middle East and Africa regions. What can 256GB hold, you ask? Well, it is the equivalent of 365 CDs, 54 DVDs or 51,000 images on average. Features of the DataTraveler 310 include the Password Traveler software that allows you to create a password-protected privacy zone that is accessible to you only, and this secure area can take up to 90% of the drive capacity. Each purchase comes with a five-year warranty and round-the-clock tech support. [Press Release]
