If not then this is a reality that Kingston has a USB flash drive which can keep this massive mass storage in a standard USB flash drive.

Kingston DataTraveler HyperX

Kingston DataTraveler HyperX 3.0 256GB USB Flash Drive Features

Design

The Blue and Black combination looks good. The USB Flash drive is light weighted. The plastic body does make it look like an ordinary pen drive. But this Flash drive has no such premium look as such. It is also a bulgy USB drive. The cap of the USB flash drive can be put in by only one way. Well I think they should had improved the design. If you compare the design to the Kingston DataTraveler R3.0 G2 looks then this USB flash drive will loose the war.

Kingston DataTraveler HyperX

Performance

Coming to the best part of this Small packet and big effect. The USB Flash drive has a mass storage of 256 GB which is the biggest asset of this device. If you have a USB 3.0 port then this is an ideal device for you. As per the company this drive is able to read files at a speed of a stunning 225 MB/s and writing speed of 135 MB/s. For USB 2.0 it is 30 MB/s for read and write as per the company specifications.

Kingston DataTraveler HyperX

But we did our test for the USB 2.0 and we found surprising result. So it is near to the company standards. So faster transfer speeds are expected if you have a USB 3.0 port. I from Technary will recommend this device for high speed transfer. So it has huge mass storage and fast data transfer speeds.

Compatibility and warranty

The device is compatible with Windows XP, Vista(SP1,SP2), 7 (SP1), 8 & 8.1. It is also compatible with Mac OS X v10.6x + and Linus 2.6x+. So there is no such compatibility issues as such. But this USB Flash drive was not accessible to a company`s laptop. I mean the laptops given to employees to work from home. I tried this USB flash drive on my friend`s company`s laptop. I guess the company`s laptop was not capable to handle such high data transfer device.

Kingston DataTraveler HyperX

But there is no such problem for all laptops and hope PC users. Kingston provides a long 5 years of warranty and free tech support for this device. So user can use it fearlessly and will get good support from the company too.

Conclusion

I will call this as Chota Packet bada dhamaka(Small device with awesome features). So performance wise it is one of the best available in the market. If you are bored of carrying portable hard disks then this is the best alternative. So what are you waiting for Buy it now for $252.74. Well for Indian buyers it is available for Rs. 38,000

Kingston Data Traveler R3.0 G2

Kingston Data Traveler R3.0 G2 USB Flash drive Features

Design

This USB device has a unique design. It has a sporty look. It does look very cool in the blue color. It also must be the case because I like blue color a lot. I was hoping that they should had released it in other color variants too. Think if it was a red or green colored. More color options would had been a positive aspect. It has a rubber casing. So very nice grip.

Kingston Data Traveler R3.0 G2

The cap of the device is completely made of rubber. So easy to remove it and put in. If you are using it for the first time you will get trolled. The user(myself) always thinks that the name written should be on the upper side while inserting it in a laptop. But annoyingly it is the back side of the USB. So the user can get confused. So the blue LED indicator side of the USB should be on the top. But after getting familiar to it that will not be any problem to the user.

Kingston Data Traveler R3.0 G2

The device has dimensions of 56 x 22 x 9.2 mm. Even the USB Flash drive has some good weight. Not heavy though, I think it is ideal one. Not like the light weighted plastic drives of Sandisk. Anyways jokes apart, the USB Flash drive looks awesome and yes, looks does matter for selling a product. When I was using it in a coffee shop, a random girl came and asked about it. Yes, it is useful for showing off too, which I never did! 😛

Performance

The device is shock resistant. Also it is water resistant. The USB 3.0 connectivity is one of the biggest highlights which makes the writing speed of 23MB/s and a reading speed of 90MB/s for a 32GB flash drive. We did tested it thoroughly for a USB 2.0 for a long time. You will be surprised after looking at the results.

Kingston Data Traveler R3.0 G2

Compatibility

Warranty

This USB Flash drive has a warranty of massive 5 years. Also they are giving free tech support to the user.
