If you use your pen drive to save and carry your important data, you will really care about your device. But accident can happen any time any where. So, Kingston has made Kingston data traveler R3.0 G2. It is shock resistant and dust resistant pen drive. The Kingston data traveler R3.0 G2 32GB is priced at Rs. 2,500
Design of the device is attractive but it is large in size and little bit heavy. But the rubber layer on the body feels good and make it shock resistant. Cap is also made of rubber. It is rugged USB flash drives, so it was obvious that it will be of big size. It measures 9.2mm x 56.0mm x 22.0mm. It can survive up to 1 hour at a depth of 1 meter.

The pendrive is compatible with Windows 8.1, 8,8 RT, 7 (SP1), Vista (SP1, SP2), Windows XP, Mac OS X v10.6x+ and Linux v2.6.x+ operating systems.
