Kingston DataTraveler II+ migo

Take the DataTraveler II, speed it up, add a few productivity tools, and you have the Kingston DataTraveler II+ migo.

Very similar in appearance to the DataTraveler II, the migo edition's major selling point is its Migo application. The Migo application lets you synchronize files and emails automatically between two computers, so as soon as you plug in your DataTraveler II+, the Migo software makes sure that all files on that machine are up to date.

The Migo application itself also features Outlook integration, allowing you to synchronize emails (provided that you use Outlook) between two computers. The Outlook support is a very useful feature for those users with regular POP email accounts that don't store messages on the mail server, yet want to synchronize their emails between work and home computers.

The DataTraveler II+ migo uses the same SecureTraveler software as the DT2, and thus, has the same limitations as the DataTraveler II drive - mainly that you cannot access the public and secure partitions at the same time.

The street price premium for the II+ migo over the regular DataTraveler II doesn't seem to be all that great, with the 1GB model ending up at only $3 more expensive than the best price that we could find for the DataTraveler II.

    I'm glad to have some idea about real world performance specs, to the degree that the volatility of the market allows that, of these drives. Any chance that this, or future, reviews of this kind could test making the drives bootable. Some are easy, some are impossible, and some need some real voodoo to get them working. I'd love to know which is which these days.

    "From top to bottom, a AA battery, Kingston DataTraveler II drive, Kingston DataTraveler Elite."

    No, not even close.
    Elite is on top, DT2 is next, AA battery next, and 9-volt battery on the bottom.

    What's with all the scratches on the Corsair Flash Voyager's USB connector?
  • TheInvincibleMustard - Tuesday, October 4, 2005 - link

    I was actually wondering that, too ... what did you do to that poor thing to take the cover off???

    All in the name of science, eh?

    TYPO: Pg 13 ... the caption for the "battery" picture doesn't correspond to the actual picture ... oh ... and just how OLD is that 9V Eveready? It looks like something out of the stonage in comparison to the other things in the picture ...
