LOWEST PRICE: 16 GB USB 3.0 Kingston Flash Drive for $3.99 on Amazon! Not an Add-on item and no quantity limits.



WOW!  Amazon has got this Kingston Digital 16GB Data Traveler 3.0 USB Flash Drive in blue for $3.99 with free Prime shipping, the lowest recorded Amazon price on this item.  There's no quantity limit (I just picked up 5 of them.)  I've never seen a 16GB USB 2.0 flash drive priced this low, let alone a speedy USB 3.0!  It got 4.1 out of 5 stars over 2,320 customer reviews.
  • Compliant - with USB 3.0 specifications
  • Dual Compatibility - USB 3.0 connectivity; backwards compatible with USB 2.0
  • Practical - cap protects the USB plug
  • Backed by a five-year warranty, free technical support and legendary Kingston reliability
What are flash drives good for?  Gosh, I'm so glad you asked!  Because flash drives are so physically small and portable but at the same time can hold so much information, they are ideal for data storage.
  • Travel:  this is my main use for portable drives. if I want to take my laptop with me on a plane, but also need a ton of files from my main computer, it takes me about 5 minutes to copy them on to a flash drive and put the drive in my purse.  I can work with the files by just plugging them into my computer and then bring home the updated versions the same way.  Flash drives were made for travel.
  • Backup:  I have a regular backup drive, but there are certain files (documents, pictures) I'd like to keep multiple safe copies of in different physical locations.  You never know when a disaster like Sandy or a fire or a burglary (all God forbid) may hit you.  We actually have some flash drives tucked away in our safe deposit vault.
  • Music storage:  music files like mp3s are huge and tend to eat up my computer, laptop, iPad and phone storage very quickly.  While I keep the majority in cloud storage, there are a few I like to keep offline, and those are on flash drives.
  • Photos:  ever empty an entire summer's worth of pictures from your iPhone to your PC?  There are a few you'll want to keep on there, but the rest should go into storage.  Also remember that those wedding pictures of your grandparents from the 1940s just aren't going to last forever; scan them into digital form and back them up them on a flash drive.  
  • Documents:  birth certificates, passports, marriage licenses, divorce papers, ketubahs, gets, citizenship papers, court records, even tax returns and receipts, financial records, etc. all should be backed up tucked away on a flash drive.  These are all things that are not easily replaceable.
