Four years ago, Kingston introduced a 1TB flash drive to the world, which is believed to be revolutionary for storage. Although exorbitantly priced, the move itself was commendable, with its competitors still attempting to catch up. While other companies have still been trying to match up to that, at the ongoing CES 2017 event, Kingston has taken the game to the next level. The company is breaking its own records by unveiling the 2TB Data Traveler Ultimate GT flash drive, touted as world’s highest capacity USB flash drive.
The DataTraveler Ultimate GT flash drive is USB 3.1 Gen 1 compatible, which means excellent read/write performance. The flash drive comes in a zinc-alloy body to provide resistance to shock, and features a similar (but sleeker) design to the DataTraveler HyperX Predator 512GB and 1TB flash drives introduced in 2013. It is compact with dimensions of 72mm x 26.94mm x 21mm. It is backed by 5-year warranty, free technical support.
“With the DataTraveler Ultimate GT, we empower users to increase their data storage mobility in a highly manageable form factor. This is a terrific follow up to our 1TB drive released in 2013 and by doubling the capacity, users can store and carry even larger amounts of data easily,” said Jean Wong, Business Manager at Kingston.
It will start shipping in February but the pricing has not been revealed by the company as of now.
