Kingston Technology U3 DataTraveler 2GB

Conclusion

I got to tell you, when I first heard about U3 I had wondered what it was and what was for and now I know. It's mobility to the maximum. Nothing says personalization and customization like a U3 drive. With this drive you can take along most of your favorite programs and move independently between computers.

Here you can safely store 2 GB of data or applications and it's very small and fast. It's small and using a smart portable technology you get stay mobile and that is after all the purpose of a flash drive. U3 enables you to use the software without leaving much of a trace on the computer it has been used on.

Some have commented that the U3 platform is prone to lock up a computer. That is something I haven't come across yet. I've also tested the U3 drive in an x64 environment and even there I discovered no problems. Even the U3 applications ran on the x64 computer without fail.

The only con I can find for this drive is that U3 isn't cross platform available. It means only Windows users get to enjoy the mobility this drive offers with U3 applications.
