Kingston Taiwan sends a USB 3.0 Flash drive for evaluation..
Packaging, Specs and First Impressions
Test Setup and Benchmarks
AIDA 64 Disk Benchmark
Transfer Tests
Conclusion
There's not much to say here as this is the first USB 3.0 Flash Drive we got for evaluation. This will be the base results for any of the flash drive we get from here onwards. There's no point in testing USB 3.0 on USB 2.0 now. Its one of those strong and thick flash drives with 29.84GB of formatted usable space and out-of-the box use with no utlity and with 5 years warranty period.
These cost $84.99 in U.S.! Need to do a checkup on INR.

The drive is pretty thick but then again its a 32GIG Drive. I didn't want to risk damaging it to see what's inside but this drive uses 4x 8GB Toshiba Flash NAND and controller from Phison.*i1112.photobucket.com/albums/k500/HardwareBBQ/DT%20ULTIMA%20G2%2032GB/IMG_1437.jpg
