Flash drives don’t have to be boring. They can be fun. Kingston hopes to prove that with their new DataTraveler Mini Fun G2. These come in three different colors and can also be connected together for some Lego-type fun.

2B, 4GB and 8GB models are available, with pricing set at £4.58 ($7.26), £5.04 ($7.99) and £9.00 ($14). These drives are basically building toys in bright colors. What more do you want in a flash drive?

256GB is a lot to have on your flash drive no matter how you look at it. Non-Americans have had access to the DataTraveler 300 for almost a year and now it’s our turn. Kingston has finally realized that us Americans would like that kind of capacity as well.

And the DataTraveler 310 is just the drive to deliver it to us. It’s the first 256GB flash drive to ship in the States. The DT 310 can hold up to 54 DVDs or 1,984 JPEGs and it’ll play nice with Windows, Linux and OS X-based systems.

One of the problems with using a Mac computer is that many of the devices that Windows users can take advantage of are often not Mac compatible. This is especially true of products like flash drives that use encryption to protect data.

Kingston has announced that its DataTraveler Vault Privacy Edition is now compatible with Mac OSX 10.4x to 10.5x. The drive connects to the computer via a USB port and offers hardware-based data encryption.

Kingston’s DataTraveler DT150 USB flash drive has reached the 64GB storage mark, making it the top dog of DataTraveler USB drives. Chances are you won’t run out of space unless you really really love video. The size makes it a great portable backup drive. The Kingston DataTraveler 150 works with Windows Vista, XP, Windows 2000, Mac OS X 10.3 and Linux 2.6 and above. Your $177 purchase will get you a five-year warranty and 24/7 tech support too.
