The DataTraveler HyperX Predator 3.0, as it's called, has read/write speeds of up to 240MB/s and 160MB/s, boasting SuperSpeed USB 3.0 certification.
The drive is available in 512GB capacity right now, while the 1TB version is expected to hit the market in Q1 2013.
The price for the 512GB is a whopping $1,750, meaning the 1TB variant will likely be too expensive for, well, almost everyone.
For less demanding users, Kingston has also launched slower and smaller USB drives, with capacities of 32GB and 64GB and read/write speeds of 150MB/s and 70MB/s.
