Introducing Kingston’s DataTraveler Elite G2 No matter how hard I try, it's tough to break away from physical storage. Don't get me wrong, cloud storage is great, but for the last 15 years or so, I always seem to have some sort of physical flash drive with me at all times. Whether it's for carrying pictures, or some sort of…
