00:00:07.720 --> 00:00:15.480
today I will be unboxing a Kingston data traveler ultimate 3.0 so the data

00:00:13.080 --> 00:00:21.279
traveler line of products from Kingston is they USB 3

00:00:19.480 --> 00:00:28.920
or they USB storage thumb drives okay so this is

00:00:25.519 --> 00:00:31.720
an ultimate 3.0 so what the 3.0 means is

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

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

00:00:41.000 --> 00:00:46.680
oriented USB 3 drive it's not quite the

00:00:44.079 --> 00:00:54.480
fastest one out there but it's still going to be several times faster than

00:00:49.600 --> 00:00:57.559
anything on a USB 2.0 interface it has

00:00:54.480 --> 00:01:00.239
that clamshell type package that I'm

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

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

00:01:06.680 --> 00:01:11.320
screwdriver of all things there we go

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

00:01:14.880 --> 00:01:21.000
second reads up to 70 megabytes per second rights now my experience with

00:01:18.759 --> 00:01:24.560
these USB 3 thumb drives is that you're only really going to achieve those

00:01:22.520 --> 00:01:27.560
speeds in a scenario where you're reading or writing large files so if

00:01:26.280 --> 00:01:31.840
you're doing small files it will be smaller but or smaller slower but but

00:01:30.040 --> 00:01:37.960
they will still be dramatically faster than the usb2 equivalents so here we go

00:01:34.960 --> 00:01:40.240
uh speed read oh okay and it will max

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

00:01:42.640 --> 00:01:48.960
now that 30 is probably a little bit optimistic I would think it would be

00:01:46.479 --> 00:01:53.960
more along the lines of about 25 um in terms of real world testing with you

00:01:51.040 --> 00:01:58.520
know not one large sequential 16 gig file this is the 16 gig version but it

00:01:55.759 --> 00:02:02.399
is available in a variety of capacities and it comes with a little keychain

00:02:00.439 --> 00:02:05.000
attacher piece so you can use that to well attach it to your keychain through

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

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

00:02:13.040 --> 00:02:19.959
the drive itself which is actually very stylish okay so you've got a nice cap

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

00:02:22.200 --> 00:02:28.319
then just white plastic here you've got the usb3 interface which has as you can

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

00:02:30.599 --> 00:02:37.319
back then you've got more brush Metal finish on the sides here Kingston logo

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

00:02:39.480 --> 00:02:47.200
could put like a keychain Loop or or whatever else you desire on it there now

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

00:02:48.360 --> 00:02:53.159
way and it actually sticks fairly well so there shouldn't be too much risk of

00:02:52.000 --> 00:02:59.120
losing that there you go that's the data travel

00:02:55.560 --> 00:03:00.879
traveler ultimate G2 16 gig USB 3

00:02:59.120 --> 00:03:05.840
external well I guess it would have to be external USB thumb drive
