Those looking for a secure, reliable way to store important files on a portable device such as a USB key will know that it's worth paying a bit extra for peace of mind in this area. Kingston would be many people's choice for this reason, and with a long and distinguished history in the memory and storage business it's no surprise to see the company pushing boundaries once more.

The DataTraveler 200 range is available at up to a whopping 128GB and although this will set you back over £300, it's pretty amazing to see such high capacities in such a small device.

We've grown used to solid, reassuring construction with Kingston's higher-end storage but were a little disappointed by the DataTraveler 200. While quite stylish, a plastic enclosure beneath the rubberised finish doesn't exactly scream quality and there's a nasty rattle that you wouldn't expect to hear with such a premium product. A slide mechanism keeps the USB plug hidden when not in use but we think this design pales in comparison to that of the impressiveDataTraveler HyperX.
