Kingston has introduced world's first 128GB USB drive. This 128GB drive joins Kingston's DataTraveler 200 series drives with 32GB and 64GB capacity. Kingston will be offering new DataTraveler 200 USB drives at $120 (Rs. 5,700 approx.) for 32GB, $213 for 64GB and whopping $546 (Rs. 26,200 approx.) for 128GB. Now seriously, one can buy a standard netbook for the price of 128GB USB drive.

Kingston's new DT200 USB drives features Password Traveler, a password protection feature for protecting critical data inside. The capless design features slide-in feature to protect the USB connector.

All new 32GB, 64GB and 128GB DT200 USB flash drives are certified for Windows Vista and enhanced for Windows ReadyBoost feature. Windows ReadyBoost is available in Windows Vista and Windows 7 to use any USB flash drive as a drive for system disk cache to improve the performance. However, it should be noted that Password Traveler won't operate properly if Windows ReadyBoost feature is in use.

Another company called EdgeTech has also come out with cheaper DiskGO 128GB USB flash drive for $390 (Rs. 18,700 approx.).



Kingston offers new DT200 USB flash drives with five years warranty and free tech support. We're yet to hear about the Indian price and availability of these new DT200 USB Flash drives from Kingston. Stay tuned to this space for further details.

USB drives are always slower than even an 5400 rpm Desktop hdd. buying 128 GB usb drive is utter waster of huge bucks. For merely 5000 we can get 640 GB External drive with Esata - only big diff is ext hdd is large in size and usb drive is thumb sized.

Yeah you said it pal, also High capacity USB Pen drives have High latencies too, although this may sound Ridiculous, I have a 2.5 inch "320GB Seagate Free agent go" which i got for 3800 INR.. it beats even a 4 GB pen drive in terms of Speed.

The Retractable USB pin is always a BAD Idea, unless it is reinforced with something, guaranteed that it doesnt break or start wiggling in the near or far future.
