Kingston DataTraveler USB Flash Drives Hit 128 GB

Memory and storage developer Kingston has been producing USB flash drives for years, and has always kept one eye on the high end (and high margin) end of the market. So it’s not very surprising that the company claims to be the first to put a 128 GB USB flash drive on the market with an expanded edition of the DataTraveler 200.

"The new DT200’s robust storage capability lets consumers store complete libraries of music, photos and videos. It is also a great tool for business users who carry around large databases or files," said Kingston USB business manager Andrew Ewing, in a statement.

The drive features a retractable USB connector (no cap to lose!) and is enhanced for Windows ReadyBoost. User of Windows 2000, XP, and Vista can also use Password Traveler software to create a password-protected area of the drive dubbed a "privacy zone;" in the event the drive is lost or stolen, personal or sensitive data wouldn’t be accessible. (Mac and Linux users, however, would have to resort to other forms of data protection.)

The 128 GB DataTraveler drives are build-to-order only for the moment (customers can place orders through e-tailers or resellers), and they come at a steep price: $546.00. Kingston also offers 64 and 32 GB versions of the DataTraveler drives for $213 and $120, respectively.

You don't need to spend several hundreds of dollars on a new laptop that you'll use as a productivity tool because there are budget-friendly options like the Asus Vivobook Go L510MA. It's actually currently even cheaper from Walmart after an $80 discount, which brings its price down to just $199 from $279 originally. There's no telling how much time is remaining before the offer expires though, so if you want to take advantage of it, you're going to have to proceed with the purchase as soon as possible.

Why you should buy the Asus Vivobook Go L510MA
For a laptop that will be able to handle basic activities like doing online research, building reports, and browsing social media, you can't go wrong with the Asus Vivobook Go L510MA. It's equipped with the Intel Pentium Silver N5030 processor and 4GB of RAM, which are a far cry from the specifications of the best laptops, but it will be enough for simple tasks. The device also comes with a 15.6-inch screen with Full HD resolution, which is pretty large and sharp for its price, but it's still portable as it only weights about 3.5 pounds with a thickness of just 0.72 of an inch.
