Thumb drives are the most commonly used flash-based storage devices, thanks to their compact form factor and affordability. In our series of direct-attached storage reviews, we have taken a look at drives that use flash controllers that bridge USB directly to the flash as well as those that use USB - SATA bridges. Compact thumb drives usually use a native controller (i.e, directly translating the flash interface to USB without an intermediate SATA link). Today, we will be looking at two Kingston thumb drives that fall into this category - the Kingston DataTraveler Elite G2 and the Kingston HyperX Savage 128GB USB flash drives.
