- Windows and Mac compatible USB drive available in capacities up to 2GB -
[15 March 2007] Kingston Technology, the world’s leading independent memory manufacturer, today announced the launch of its new DataTraveler Reader, a USB 2.0 Flash memory drive that provides up to 2GB of Flash storage. The new product includes an onboard SD/MMC expansion slot for reading nine different Flash memory card formats, including the new Secure Digital High-Capacity (SDHC) format.
Jim Selby, Product Marketing Manager EMEA, Kingston Technology comments, “Today’s consumers are more mobile than ever before and the need to store and share digital information has increased dramatically. The DataTraveler Reader is a powerful way to capture, save and share pictures, music, videos and documents in a safe and ultra-compact device.”
Available in storage capacities of 1GB and 2GB, Kingston Technology’s DataTraveler Reader is compatible with both Mac (OS 10.x or higher) and Windows (2000, XP and Vista) platforms. The new USB reader is compatible with SD, SDHC, miniSD**, microSD**, MMC**, MMCplus**, RS-MMC**, MMCmobile** and MMCmicro** card formats.
When inserted into a computer’s USB port, the DataTraveler Reader is assigned two drive letters (for example, G:\ and H:\). One drive letter is assigned to the Reader’s internal storage, while the other is designated for the expansion slot. Users can quickly and easily work with both drives to either transfer files to the computer or between the USB drive and the Flash memory card inside the DataTraveler Reader.
