If you are the latter and need a flash drive with some type of protection or encryption protection than Kingston got you covered with the DataTraveler Locker+ G2 line of drives. The DataTraveler offers hardware encryption and password protection to get your data under a good solid lock and key.

I got this to store my passwords, and it works fine for that. It didn't really need to have 8 GB for that purpose, but I couldn't find a passwordable thumb drive of decent quality for a lower price. The steel construction and substantial weight certainly inspires confidence.

Had originally purchased it to create bootable flash drives to run OS's for NAS and Media servers, however I did not do enough research to realize that they're not easily made into bootable drives.

Overall, easy to use, quick to set up.

Reliable Performance

When you plug it in, it launches a password prompt, then gives access to the information on a new drive thats invisible until you put in the password. Quality USB stick.

Reliable launcher; quality construction

In a changing digital world it's important to have some record of all your logins, codes, and passwords. Put them in a booklet of some sort and you're totally screwed if someone else gets their hands on that book. This is the solution.

Good construction, reasonable price, and solid performance given the drive's always-on hardware encryption.

Very easy to setup and use. The build quality is great too. I have 4 of these and like them all.

Recently, I had a discussion with one of my friends regarding the ownership of police electronic countermeasures in my vehicle. I have written an article on such a topic a few years go, which can be found here .

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.
