Security is a mandatory element in every aspect of computing. Personalisation is pervasive - from the iPod to PDAs to smartphones to the desktop, everyone wants their computing environment to be personal and represent the way they work and play. The U3 platform is an exciting innovation and Kingston’s U3 DataTraveler is an excellent implementation.

Some examples of U3 smart drives are Kingston U3 DataTraveler, SanDisk Cruzer Micro, SanDisk Cruzer Titanium, Verbatim Store ‘n’ Go U3 Smart Drive, Ativa U3 USB 2.0 Flash Drive, Geek Squad USB 2.0 Flash Drive, Intuix Smart Drive M300 U3, Intuix Smart Drive S300 U3, busbi USB Flash Drive, disgo classic, disgo diva, disgo dude, disgo lite, Disk2go SMART II, Extrememory U3 smart USB Drive, Hama U3 FlashPen Mini USB 2.0, Memorex Mini TravelDrive U, PQI Cool Drive U320 Smart Drive, TwinMos U3 Mobile Disk, Elecom MF-UU2 and i-o data EasyDisk U3 smart drive.
