Thread: Kingston Data Traveler 160

That's what they are worth 16GB of flash storage today, portable and reliable, guaranteed by a large storage industry as Kingston. When they began to massively the pen drive or flash drives the story was very different.

I remember several of my friends had CD burners .I found it impractical because once you record your data on a CD was not so easy to upgrade. You could, of course, recorded in several sessions that were replacing the file but this had a limit and to make matters worse some CD became unreadable when burning multiple sessions.

Not wanting to fill the world with half-burned CDs I found a much more eco-friendly Iomega ZIP disk, 100MB.Over time CD burners endured rewritable (Cand my investment was not very smart.I spent a fortune to have 3 Zip disks and actually not worth it.

My brother did something similar but more pro he bought an Iomega JAZ, 1GB. I guess they will know that both types of storage obsolete term but what else does not become obsolete in this industry? Therefore you have to keep inventing and renewing.

For this reason, and always looking with distaste that consumer desire to burn 10 discs and then discard remaining 5 bad prints, I noticed the pen drives, USB sticks that seemed such a reasonable alternative. The first thing I had 16MB and it seemed a blessing. It was difficult I think, CLP 22,000 the same cost as today DT160.

The Data Traveler comes in a simple blister packaging made of plastic and cardboard. It promises speeds of 10MB / s read and 5 MB / s writing Also offers 5-year warranty.
