Kingston Increases Speed on DataTraveler 410 USB Flash Drive

Faster Read/Writes Follow Speed Increases on Consumer-Level USB Drives


London, UK -- September 22, 2009 -- Kingston Technology Europe Ltd, a subsidiary of Kingston Technology Corporation, today announced it is increasing read and write speeds on its Kingston DataTraveler® 410 USB Flash drive to 20MB/sec. read and write. Shipping in capacities up to 32GB, the speedy DataTraveler 410 allows for faster file transfers and is password protected to help keep data secure.

The faster read and write speeds make the DataTraveler 410 the ideal drive for high-definition photos, large documents, presentations, music, videos and other data. It includes SecureTraveler software, which allows users to create and access a password-protected area of the drive called the “Privacy Zone.”

The increased data transfer rates of the DataTraveler 410 follows a recent speed bump of the higher capacities (16- and 32GB) of Kingston’s consumer-level DataTraveler I G2, DataTraveler 101 and DataTraveler 112 drives to read and write speeds of 10MB/sec.



Kingston DataTraveler USB drives are backed by a five-year warranty and 24/7 tech support. For more information, visit www.kingston.com.
