Good construction, reasonable price, and solid performance given the drive's always-on hardware encryption.
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
There are two types of flash drive users. The first is the usual type that many of us are. The one that simple use it to transport random data from one location or PC to another. I can honestly say I believe that 85% of flash drive users fall in this category.
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
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 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.
A well made, robust, secure, good value for money, flash drive, with fast transfer rate.
Well made/robust; easy to set up and use; secure password data protection; fast data transfer rate
Not all the 32GB can be used; the key ring/tie has little strength
Kingston's 16GB DataTraveler Locker relies on software locking out a partition. We much prefer this to the common hardware encryption, which first mounts a virtual CD drive and then upon proper authentication shows the data partition. The problem with this?
Software-based encryption means the non-encrypted partition is viewable on all operating systems; file system willing; Impressive sequential and 4K random read speeds; Five-year warranty
Encrypted partition is viewable under Windows only
