This will be a fairly straightforward unboxing. This is the Kingston Data
Traveler 101. It is rated for up to 10
megabytes per second read and 5 megabytes per second ride.
Right. So, this is a value USB drive.
It's going to be all about cost per Gigabyte. They provide a convenient
scissor line for how to open the packaging. But since I am rarely
equipped with scissors or a knife, I'm going to go ahead and open it with my
hands. It is compatible with Windows 7, Windows Vista, Windows XP, Windows 2000,
Mac OSX, as well as Linux. And then
here's what I can figure out. Look at this. Okay, they have a graph with Data
Traveler as well as UR. Do they mean
your drive, like your current drive? I'm not quite sure what they mean. Hm.
Well, if you have some insight into what Kingston means on the back of their box
by your drive, then uh yeah, please do let me know. So, let's have a look at
the data traveler 101 itself. You can see it has an included cap. You can
actually install a little uh carrier string right there through the top. It's
made out of metal, which appears to be pretty decent metal. So, it's not going
to just come right off like uh one of the other drives that I had that had a
metal clip on it. All right. You just flip it open like that and then you are
able to access the USB business end of
the data traveler 101. So that was it. That's the whole thing. Let's do a quick
uh let's do a quick uh data write test
just to find out exactly how well it performs and then that will conclude our
data traveler 101 coverage. So, as soon as we plugged in the USB
key, your drive revealed itself to be
your USB world just the way you want it. Experience the fun of your drive
anytime, anywhere. You can manage your files and folders. Download and use fun
apps subject to availability. Store and play your favorite songs. Explore your
photos and explore your photos with friends and family. So, we clicked the
learn more link. It looks like we've got built-in secure internet browser with
search by Yahoo. 2 gigs of online backup
account. Okay, we have a roboform password manager as well as a your app
zone to uh to get easy access to additional apps. So there's a bunch of
instruction videos. There's an intro video which is a cartoon
and it's conveniently captioned so we can even watch it. I just finished
another thrilling day of work carrying files around.
Wow.
here. I think we got sound even.
That's okay.
Okay. So, basically, it's a software that uh allows you to make better use of
your drive overall with all of these uh cool features. That's pretty neat.
Searched online for Spanish. Let's zoom through my built-in internet browser.
Huh. So, I guess it's bootable even.
Neat. This is getting kind of long. Okay,
let's do our uh let's do our speed test really quick here. So, I'm going to take
a Tech Tips video and I'm going to paste it and we'll find out how long it takes.
So, this is a 100 megabyte file and it
takes approximately that long, which is a lot faster than 5 megabytes per
second, which is what the drive is rated for. So, it looks like Kingston is
underrating this drive. Thank you for checking out my unboxing and first look
at the Kingston Data Traveler 101.
