Kingston Technology DataTraveler 400 USB flash drive keeps data synchronized between multiple PCs

16th  January 2008-- Kingston Technology Company, the independent world leader in memory products, today announced the release of the DataTraveler 400 (DT400), a new USB Flash drive preloaded with MigoSync data synchronisation software from Migo Software, that allows users to work among multiple PCs by directly synchronising files, email and Internet browser settings onto the drive.

“The DT400 is the perfect solution to keep documents and settings completely up-to-date and in sync,” said Kirsty Miller, European Flash Product Marketing Manager, Kingston Technology . “Accessing email and keeping sections of the drive secure through password protection make the DT400 a powerful device for anyone to stay safely connected with work or home while on the go.”

Available in capacities up to 8GB, the DT400 with MigoSync software helps users navigate between systems. In addition to standard file synchronisation, MigoSync also comes with Universal Mail Format1, which enables a user to access email on a guest PC, even when it does not support the user’s primary email application for formats including Windows Mail, Outlook, Outlook Express or Lotus Notes. The drive’s built-in SecureTraveler2 software allows the creation of a ‘Privacy Zone,’ whereby a user creates and maintains a password-protected area of the drive to keep data safe.

The Kingston DataTraveler 400 is supported by a five-year warranty and free 24/7 technical support.
