Today I will be reviewing a new product from Kingston Technologies, the Kingston DataTraveler HyperX 4GB flashdrive. The HyperX is offered in a variety of sizes to meet most budgets. The 2GB version has a price point of around $55, while on the top end, the 8GB version goes for about $190. Kingston stands behind the HyperX with a five year manufacturers warranty. As part of the warranty service, there is free technical assistance provided through an 800 number. Kingston has created a very respectable product with a sleek design and a specification sheet to match. Let's take a look at those specifications.
