Kingston Technology Company, Inc., the independent world leader in memory products, today announced the release of the DataTraveler 200 (DT200), the world’s first 128GB USB Flash drive. The large capacity along with password protection gives users the flexibility to carry critical data with them at all times in a very small form factor.
