As you probably already know, Kingston Technology is one of the leading makers of memory products in the world, ranging from system-specific memory to flash and solid state drives.The DataTraveler USB Flash Drive series is one of its most important products, being praised by users around the world for its high speeds and reliability. Well, we recently had the chance to put two of the latest DataTraveler models under our microscope: the 64GB DataTraveler 150 and its smaller in storage size brother, the 32GB DataTraveler 150.
Having made its appearance in November 2008, the DataTraveler 150 series quickly became a user's favorite portable storage choice thanks to its great price and above average quality that basically brought an elite high speed, high capacity flash drive to a public that could not afford one up until the DataTraveler's release.
Although we are not strangers to the DataTraveler series USB flash drives, our professional meeting with the two devices did reveal pretty interesting facts that an eventual buyer will want to take into account when choosing one of the two. But we'll be tackling those parts in the next pages of the review. Whereas testing is concerned, we tried to do professional testing, as well as the usual stress-testing a normal user would normally submit his/her flash drive to.
The results were quite unexpected in that both the 32 and 64GB DataTraveler 150 versions exceeded our hopes in a lot of areas. These devices have clearly been made to be used in a lot of different environments and by different types of people. How they fare after extreme wear and tear from a user that wants to squeeze as much as he/she can from his/her Flash Drive? Extremely well, as you will see but not without some glitches.
