00:00:07,720 --> 00:00:15,480
today I will be unboxing a Kingston data traveler ultimate 3.0 so the data

2
00:00:13,080 --> 00:00:21,279
traveler line of products from Kingston is they USB 3

3
00:00:19,480 --> 00:00:28,920
or they USB storage thumb drives okay so this is

4
00:00:25,519 --> 00:00:31,720
an ultimate 3.0 so what the 3.0 means is

5
00:00:28,920 --> 00:00:36,879
that it is us B 3 so that means you are going to get faster speeds out of it

6
00:00:34,399 --> 00:00:44,079
than you will out of a USB 2 thumb drive so this particular guy is a more value

7
00:00:41,000 --> 00:00:46,680
oriented USB 3 drive it's not quite the

8
00:00:44,079 --> 00:00:54,480
fastest one out there but it's still going to be several times faster than

9
00:00:49,600 --> 00:00:57,559
anything on a USB 2.0 interface it has

10
00:00:54,480 --> 00:01:00,239
that clamshell type package that I'm

11
00:00:57,559 --> 00:01:04,439
really not a big fan of and I forgot my knife upstairs so I'm trying to struggle

12
00:01:02,719 --> 00:01:09,880
my way through this but give me a second here guys so I forced it open with a

13
00:01:06,680 --> 00:01:11,320
screwdriver of all things there we go

14
00:01:09,880 --> 00:01:16,799
all right so what's Kingston have to say for themselves about this guy well they're saying up to 100 megabytes per

15
00:01:14,880 --> 00:01:21,000
second reads up to 70 megabytes per second rights now my experience with

16
00:01:18,759 --> 00:01:24,560
these USB 3 thumb drives is that you're only really going to achieve those

17
00:01:22,520 --> 00:01:27,560
speeds in a scenario where you're reading or writing large files so if

18
00:01:26,280 --> 00:01:31,840
you're doing small files it will be smaller but or smaller slower but but

19
00:01:30,040 --> 00:01:37,960
they will still be dramatically faster than the usb2 equivalents so here we go

20
00:01:34,960 --> 00:01:40,240
uh speed read oh okay and it will max

21
00:01:37,960 --> 00:01:45,079
out a USB 2.0 interface at about 30 and 30 megabytes per second reads and writes

22
00:01:42,640 --> 00:01:48,960
now that 30 is probably a little bit optimistic I would think it would be

23
00:01:46,479 --> 00:01:53,960
more along the lines of about 25 um in terms of real world testing with you

24
00:01:51,040 --> 00:01:58,520
know not one large sequential 16 gig file this is the 16 gig version but it

25
00:01:55,759 --> 00:02:02,399
is available in a variety of capacities and it comes with a little keychain

26
00:02:00,439 --> 00:02:05,000
attacher piece so you can use that to well attach it to your keychain through

27
00:02:03,640 --> 00:02:09,920
the loophole at the top although I would suggest using something a little bit more sturdy these USB 3 drives still

28
00:02:08,679 --> 00:02:14,879
aren't cheap so you're going to want to make sure that you don't accidentally lose it so we'll have a quick look at

29
00:02:13,040 --> 00:02:19,959
the drive itself which is actually very stylish okay so you've got a nice cap

30
00:02:17,239 --> 00:02:24,160
here which has uh brushed Metal finish on the sides of uh both sides of it and

31
00:02:22,200 --> 00:02:28,319
then just white plastic here you've got the usb3 interface which has as you can

32
00:02:26,319 --> 00:02:32,800
see the four standard USB pins as well as the five extra USB three ones at the

33
00:02:30,599 --> 00:02:37,319
back then you've got more brush Metal finish on the sides here Kingston logo

34
00:02:35,640 --> 00:02:42,239
and then as I mentioned before you've got that hook on the top of it so you

35
00:02:39,480 --> 00:02:47,200
could put like a keychain Loop or or whatever else you desire on it there now

36
00:02:44,800 --> 00:02:50,599
the top only fits on one way so you won't accidentally put it on the wrong

37
00:02:48,360 --> 00:02:53,159
way and it actually sticks fairly well so there shouldn't be too much risk of

38
00:02:52,000 --> 00:02:59,120
losing that there you go that's the data travel

39
00:02:55,560 --> 00:03:00,879
traveler ultimate G2 16 gig USB 3

40
00:02:59,120 --> 00:03:05,840
external well I guess it would have to be external USB thumb drive
