Kingston Technology has announced its new DataTraveler Reader.
The company says the DataTraveler Reader is a USB 2.0 flash memory drive that provides up to 4GB of flash storage, and includes an onboard SD/MMC expansion slot for reading nine different flash memory card formats, including SD, SDHC, miniSD, microSD, MMC, MMCplus, RS-MMC, MMCmobile, and MMCmicro card formats.
Speaking on the occasion, Rajesh Panicker, Country Manager - India, Kingston, said, "Consumers today are more mobile than ever before, and the need to store and share digital information has increased dramatically. The DataTraveler Reader is a powerful way to capture, save, and share pictures, videos, and documents in a safe and ultra-compact form factor."
The DataTraveler Reader, which is available in storage capacities of 1GB, 2GB, and 4GB, is compatible with both Mac (OS 10.x or later), and Windows (2000, XP, and Vista) platforms.
When the DataTraveler Reader is inserted into a computer's USB port, it is assigned two drive letters (for example, G:\ and H:\). One drive letter is assigned to the Reader's internal storage, while the other is designated for the expansion slot. Users can quickly and easily work with both drives to either transfer files to the computer, or between the USB drive and the flash memory card inside the DataTraveler Reader.
Meanwhile, the DataTraveler Reader will be available in India by the end of this month through a network of the company's distributors, including AA Infoways, Avnet India, Ingram Micro, Kobian Electronics, and Transtek Infoways. Pricing will be revealed upon availability.
