Kingston's latest line of USB thumb drives shoots the capacity way up and brings the price way down, but the compromise will probably come with the speed.

pimg src="http://cache.gawker.com/assets/images/lifehacker/2008/11/qdir.jpg" width="494" height="250" align="center"/br / Windows only: Free file browser Q-Dir makes for a good USB drive app or installed replacement for Windows Explorer for those who do a serious amount of file swapping, or just like to be able to keep multiple folder views open at once. The appmdash;which installs by default, but can run by itself after renaming it "Q-Dir.exe"mdash;offers a customizable number of panes, though the default four-square is a pretty good starting point. You can save any view you like to a favorite button, along with adding shortcuts to frequently-accessed folders. There's also a quick-filter box in the lower-right for easy sorting and finding, and if you use Q-Dir regularly, you'll be glad it keeps your right-click shell extensions and offers its own "*Q-Dir" launch option on right-clicking a folder. Q-Dir is a free download for Windows systems only. Only need two panes?

Kingston Technology is now shipping its DataTraveler 150 USB Flash drive in a 64GB model. The DT150 offers the largest capacity in Kingston’s entire line of DataTraveler USB drives.

Defense Department suspends use of USB drives as experts warn of USB-related virus outbreaks.

We prefer to look at this as a flexible and portable backup tool, but organizing its innards can be quite a chore. The Kingston DataTraveler 150 works with Windows Vista, XP, Windows 2000, Mac OS X 10.3 (and above) and Linux 2.6 (and above) platforms. Each $177 purchase comes with a five-year warranty and 24/7 tech support./p pa href="http://www.ubergizmo.com/15/archives/2008/11/kingston_datatraveler_dt150_hits_64gb.html#comments"Add a comment/a | From: a href="http://www.ubergizmo.com/15/archives/2008/11/kingston_datatraveler_dt150_hits_64gb.html"Kingston DataTraveler DT150 Hits 64GB/a | Visit a href="http://www.ubergizmo.com"Ubergizmo/a | a href="http://www.uberbargain.com/"Good deals/a/p pmap name="google_ad_map_081119181323" area shape="rect" href="http://imageads.googleadservices.com/pagead/imgclick/081119181323?pos=0" coords="1,2,367,28"/ area shape="rect" href="http://services.google.com/feedback/abg" coords="384,10,453,23"//map img usemap="#google_ad_map_081119181323" border="0" src="http://imageads.googleadservices.com/pagead/ads?format=468x30_aff_imgamp;client=ca-pub-7335032025195922amp;channel=9684588219amp;output=pngamp;cuid=081119181323amp;url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.ubergizmo.com%2F15%2Farchives%2F2008%2F11%2Fkingston_datatraveler_dt150_hits_64gb.html"//p pa href="http://feedads.googleadservices.com/~a/3wlDsK6GRkLQAvVeUvFlyjc1OyA/a"img src="http://feedads.googleadservices.com/~a/3wlDsK6GRkLQAvVeUvFlyjc1OyA/i" border="0" ismap="true"/img/a/pdiv class="feedflare" a href="http://feedproxy.google.com/~f/ubergizmo?a=A4rJYANc"img src="http://feedproxy.google.com/~f/ubergizmo?d=41" border="0"/img/a a href="http://feedproxy.google.com/~f/ubergizmo?a=AszVSPjY"img src="http://feedproxy.google.com/~f/ubergizmo?i=AszVSPjY" border="0"/img/a a href="http://feedproxy.google.com/~f/ubergizmo?a=cG4KiN2s"img src="http://feedproxy.google.com/~f/ubergizmo?d=52" border="0"/img/a a href="http://feedproxy.google.com/~f/ubergizmo?a=sCO2ZqCr"img src="http://feedproxy.google.com/~f/ubergizmo?i=sCO2ZqCr" border="0"/img/a a href="http://feedproxy.google.com/~f/ubergizmo?a=MBtdzX71"img src="http://feedproxy.google.com/~f/ubergizmo?i=MBtdzX71" border="0"/img/a /div

This allows the e-Flash to hit unimagined performance speeds compared to vanilla USB flash drives, and with USB 2.0 connectivity as a standard, you don't have to worry about incompatibility issues. Each purchase will come with an eSATA + Power bracket and an eSATA + Power cable for easy hookup, and you will be able to choose from 16GB, 32GB or 64GB capacities. The Kanguru e-Flash will feature preloaded Hotswap! software for easy and safe eSATA connection and ejection, all encased in a high-strength aluminum housing for greater durability.

The Defense Department's geeks are spooked by a rapidly spreading worm crawling across their networks. So they've suspended the use of so-called thumb drives, CDs, flash media cards, and all other removable data-storage devices from both their secret and unclassified nets, to try to keep the worm from multiplying any further.br style="clear: both;"/ a style='font-size: 10px; color: maroon;' href='http://www.pheedo.com/hostedMorselClick.php?hfmm=v3:d8b1f471201eeaf502dbf67c8a6f68e7:oM8zYNTdengFC5iUJcI5Ar3l4c%2Bqq6HlgDSGpfK5qxIibbxSgcqoLVcocZDqbEZaOWLSdbvNuDeaPw%3D%3D'img border='0' title='Add to Facebook' alt='Add to Facebook' src='http://www.pheedo.com/images/mm/facebook.gif'//a a style='font-size: 10px; color: maroon;' href='http://www.pheedo.com/hostedMorselClick.php?hfmm=v3:b4b7ec696cdebd275ac9a4c2dbfe424c:sgSckjU%2F0SwkLfLA8KJ1yzQg5oElfvumpGo8gkKjCSug0Dn2R%2BreEqng2uvVxUGs5liHe0bRy5WU'img border='0' title='Add to Reddit' alt='Add to Reddit' src='http://www.pheedo.com/images/mm/reddit.png'//a a style='font-size: 10px; color: maroon;' href='http://www.pheedo.com/hostedMorselClick.php?hfmm=v3:c135ff7773196fa49fac7611dfed576e:8ohv59gvonBUbLyP2pYWRIrYhk3yhBkLDGwmGWaXLRHcuyhxFfTPeKdJP1wMb5vSROBomcPiLNDt'img border='0' title='Add to digg' alt='Add to digg' src='http://www.pheedo.com/images/mm/digg.gif'//a a style='font-size: 10px; color: maroon;' href='http://www.pheedo.com/hostedMorselClick.php?hfmm=v3:c7be53f499e3addb32851f33b7940884:uSVMT%2FDR%2FBrbLfFHjbOnLQ83eE3ogKnNtN%2FJBG2XTF6rD0OaVbaLlPGYztPSH4QkV4OUO94vh3vM'img border='0' title='Add to Google' alt='Add to Google' src='http://www.pheedo.com/images/mm/google.png'//a br style="clear: both;"/ a href="http://www.pheedo.com/click.phdo?s=263c1fb9da61a3011eaf5acde093f73c"img alt="" style="border: 0;" border="0" src="http://www.pheedo.com/img.phdo?s=263c1fb9da61a3011eaf5acde093f73c"//a img src="http://www.pheedo.com/feeds/tracker.php?i=263c1fb9da61a3011eaf5acde093f73c" style="display: none;" border="0" height="1" width="1" alt=""/ pa href="http://feeds.wired.com/~a/wired/index?a=G4mUaL"img src="http://feeds.wired.com/~a/wired/index?i=G4mUaL" border="0"/img/a/pimg src="http://feeds.wired.com/~r/wired/index/~4/459016898" height="1" width="1"/
