Kingston DataTraveler I G3 4 GB EXTERNAL HARD-DRIVES: The idea of having a portable hard drive is that it is easily portable memory which stores all your personal stuff from your computer such as work, photos, applications and other files.

Great little flash drive  -  reliable and easy to use

The lid is easy to misplace when other borrow it !  !  !

Seeing as I am studying various media courses at university, I am constantly needing to have various digital resources with me at all times. Carrying my laptop or macbook around is an option but using a flash drive is a lot easier and more practical.

The Kingston DataTraveler Locker+ puts government-grade security onto a flash drive for the masses, with 256-bit AES hardware-based encryption for an extremely reasonable price ($14 street for 8GB).

Professional-grade encryption in a consumer flash drive; Low price per GB.

Not Linux compatibile

Maybe I got a rear duff one, maybe I didn't

It would be very good if it hadn't have stopped working

Got it from 'TechNextDay' to plug into my stereo so it could play mp3 files of it; I filled it up quite a bit; Was working fine doing this; Then I decided to put an an extra album on there; This sort of worked fine; The tracks were mixed up in there order for some strange reason.

As the world's largest independent manufacturer of memory products, Kingston Technology doesn't need much of an introduction. The company got its start in 1987, when the computer industry was suffering from a severe shortage of surface-mount memory chips.

Mandatory security on all files; Hardware based 256-bit AES encryption; Includes "lockdown" mode for increased security; Compatible with Windows 2000/XP/Vista/7 and Mac OS X; Five year warranty; Reasonably priced

Slow write speeds; Not bootable

The Kingston DataTraveler Locker+ series of USB flash drives provide the expected level of performance for a USB memory stick, with the added security of password protected access and 256-bit AES Hardware Based Encryption, for a slight premium in cost over non-secure storage.

Secure storage

Not usable as boot device; not compatible with Linux

The most basic form of memory storage today is the flash drive. Since the preponderance of USB flash drives, I've forgotten and lost many. Their small size is to blame for that, but it's hard to deny they're essentially indispensable.

If you need to have your portable data safe, then this is it. Just make sure your not using a weak password.

Kingston's new DataTraveler Locker+ 16GB USB thumb drive offers the useful capability of allowing a user to set up an encrypted partition to safeguard some of that data - while allowing the remaining drive space to be open and accessible by anyone.

They say size doesn't matter, but I think it does… at least when it comes to a USB drives, and I'll leave it at that… I've got an exclusive review for you, our friends over at Kingston have sent me a rather expensive USB drive, coming in at about $1100 it's not one that most people will be running...

Well made; Faster than spec speeds; Largest USB drive on the market

Expensive
