The 1TB flash drive, called the DataTraveler HyperX Predator 3.0, is said to be the world's largest-capacity USB 3.0 flash drive and Kingston's fastest, with speeds of up to 240MB/s read and 160MB/s write. It has also achieved SuperSpeed USB 3.0 certification.
"Our new DataTraveler HyperX Predator 3.0 allows users to store their entire digital world on a portable USB 3.0 Flash drive," Andrew Ewing, flash memory business manager at Kingston, said in a statement. "The large capacity and fast USB 3.0 transfer speeds allow users to save time as they can access, edit, and transfer applications or files such as HD movies directly from the drive without any performance lag."
Kingston's 1TB flash drive is compliant with next-generation USB 3.0 specifications and is optimized for newer PCs with USB 3.0 ports. Its casing is made of zinc alloy metal for superior quality, shock resistance and high-end design.
The drive, which is expected to launch in the first quarter, ships with a custom Kingston key ring and a HyperX valet keychain. It is also backwards compatible with USB 2.0 for efficient data transfer rates.
Kingston has not revealed the price of the 1TB flash drive but its 512GB edition, which is now available, retails for $1,750.
