Kingston has just released a new member to its flash drive family in the form the of DataTraveler G3. The drives are encased in a plastic body measuring 65.68 x 10.66 x 22.37mm and feature a variety of colors on the end to distinguish how much storage each one has. The drives feature a USB 2.0 interface that supports transfer rates up to 16MB/second for reading and 5MB/s for writing. The drives come in 2, 4, 8, 16, and 32GB versions and are covered by a five year warranty. The long warranty is nice to see since I typically keep a flash drive around for a long time so knowing it is covered by a five year warranty means I won't have to rush out to buy a new one if something happens to it.

The DataTraveler G3 should be available now with the 2GB costing $7.99, the 4GB costing $9.99, the 8GB at $17.99, the 16GB at $32.99, and the 32GB coming in at $59.99.
