Closer Look at DataTraveler Ultimate G3

DataTraveler Ultimate G3 is One of the high end Flash Drive created by Kingston Up To Date . It supports all the Operating Systems on both USB Interfaces which the previous versions of Flash Drive don’t . Also  , there is significant change in design . The Cap less design is perfect for this kind of USB. We have been fan for capless design USB so that you don’t end up losing the cap when you are using the drive some where .

The Color scheme they used is amazing , The shiny metallic silver along with some plain white in the middle. This just look perfect . The Flash Drive is meant to be elegantly styled not Enthusiastic one . But Still its enough to attract those eyes out there .
