The DataTraveler Ultimate 3.0 G2 comes packaged as shown above. While the plastic bubble gives you a great view of the drive, it can be a little hard to get open without the help of a sharp knife or razor. Along with the DataTraveler Ultimate 3.0 G2, you get a small lanyard which can be used to attach the drive to your keychain.
Physical Features:
The DataTraveler Ultimate 3.0 G2 shares the same basic design as Kingston's first generation USB 3.0 flash drive. Measuring 2.90" (73.70mm) long, 0.87" (22.20mm) wide and 0.63" (16.10mm) thick, it's about the size of a pocketknife or disposable lighter. While you probably wouldn't want it hanging off of your keychain, it easily fits in a pocket or purse.
One thing you'll want to take note of, is the thickness of the DataTraveler Ultimate 3.0 G2. At 0.63" (16.10mm), its almost twice as thick as the DataTraveler 100 that I normally carry with me. This did cause some problems when I tried to plug in another USB device next to the drive. Thankfully, the USB connector on the DataTraveler Ultimate 3.0 G2 is offset a bit so you simply need to swap the two devices to get them both to fit.
The body of the DataTraveler Ultimate 3.0 G2 is constructed of lightweight, white plastic which is covered along the sides by brushed aluminum panels. To prevent it from getting lost, the cap can be placed on the opposite end of the drive, similar to the cap on a pen. While you can't see it in these pictures, there is an LED inside of the DataTraveler Ultimate 3.0 G2. This LED lights up blue whenever the drive is transmitting or receiving data or is in the identification process.
