The Kingston Data Traveler 300 is ideal for netbook users who want to extend the limited capacity of their machines, Kingston claim presuming that people will spend a lot more on a store device than they did on their actual netbook. It can also be used by business consumers who work with large databases, or even designers who need to transfer large graphic files from one place to another.

The transfer speeds of it offer you 10 MB/second write speeds or 20 MB/second read speeds through USB 2.0, although USB 3.0 would seem to make more sense when handling data of this size.It is currently only available in Europe,the Far East,the Middle East and Africa and will cost about £565.67 or $924 for those in the UK, according to TechRadar although Kingston say that the device is built to order only.
