A couple weeks ago, Kingston released their DataTraveler Ultimate 3.0 Generation 2 flash drives. These flash drives use the USB 3.0 standard, and are reported to be Kingston's fastest flash drives, with stunning speeds of 100MB/s read and 70MB/s write when plugged into a USB 3 port. The drives are available in 16GB, 32GB, and 64GB versions.

We'll put Kingston's claims to the test, and see if the drives are really worth what they claim. Shown above is the 16GB version; today, we're testing the 32GB version, which retails for $80 USD on Newegg.
