Kingston Combines USB Flash Drive with Memory Card Reader in Launch of New DataTraveler Reader
Windows and Mac Compatible USB Drive Available in Capacities Up to 4GB*; Reads SD/MMC Memory Card Formats
Including SDHC
Hsinchu, Taiwan – (March 13, 2007) - Kingston Technology Company, Inc., the independent world
leader in memory products, today announced its new DataTraveler Reader, a USB 2.0 Flash memory drive that provides up to
4GB of Flash storage, and includes an onboard SD/MMC expansion slot for reading nine different Flash memory card formats,
including the new Secure Digital High-Capacity (SDHC) format.
“Consumers today are more mobile than ever before and the need to store and share digital information has increased dramatically,” said Scott Chen, Vice President, APAC Business Development, Kingston. “The DataTraveler Reader is a powerful way to capture, save and share pictures, videos and documents in a safe and ultra-compact form factor,” added Chen.
Available in storage capacities of 1GB, 2GB and 4GB, the Kingston DataTraveler Reader is compatible with both Mac (OS 10.x or higher) and Windows (2000, XP and Vista) platforms. The new USB reader is compatible with SD, SDHC, miniSD**, microSD**, MMC**, MMCplus**, RS-MMC**, MMCmobile** and MMCmicro** card formats.
When inserted into a computer’s USB port, the DataTraveler Reader is assigned two drive letters (for example, G:\ and H:\). One drive letter is assigned to the Reader’s internal storage while the other is designated for the expansion slot. Users can quickly and easily work with both drives to either transfer files to the computer or between the USB drive and the Flash memory card inside the DataTraveler Reader.

Kingston’s DataTraveler Reader will be available by the end of March through distributors, resellers, and retailers.
