Kingston Technology Adds 16GB Capacities to DataTraveler Family; Introduces New DataTraveler 101
Increased Storage Available for DT400 w/MigoSync and DT100; DT101 Hits Market

Fountain Valley, CA – July 23, 2008 -- Kingston Technology Company, Inc., the independent world leader in memory products, today announced it is shipping its popular DataTraveler® 400 with MigoSync software and DataTraveler 100 in 16GB capacities. Also, Kingston® has released the DT101, a drive featuring security software and available in bold, fashionable colors.

"The DT400 with MigoSync has been recognized by business travelers as the perfect solution for keeping files and documents up-to-date while on the road," said Jean Wong, Flash memory product manager, Kingston. "The DT100 now available up to 16GB is an affordable, portable storage solution allowing users to save large amounts of data while our new DT101 is an attention getter with its bright colors."

DataTraveler 400:
The DT400 with MigoSync gives users the freedom to work on multiple PCs. Data such as emails and Internet browser settings are stored on the drive, thus allowing users to recreate their desktop on virtually any PC. When the drive is connected to the "host" machine, MigoSync software automatically synchronizes to keep data up-to-date.

DataTraveler 100:
Built with simplicity in mind, the DT100 can hold large amounts of data in a small form factor with capacities between 2- and 16GB. There is no cap to lose as the thumb-action slider controls the retractable USB connector for safe housing and ease of use.

DataTraveler 101:
As the latest addition to Kingston's family of USB Flash drives, the DT101 sports vibrant colors (cyan, pink and yellow), a swivel design and capacities up to 8GB. For added peace of mind, SecureTraveler software allows the user to create and access a password-protected, secure area of the drive.

Kingston's line of USB Flash drives are backed by a five-year warranty and 24/7 live technical support. For more detailed information visit the Kingston Web site at: www.kingston.com.
