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

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

The Kingston DataTraveler Locker+ G2 is Kingston's update to last year's Kingston DataTraveler Locker+ (8GB) , which won an Editors' Choice for its simple security and affordable price.

Pro-grade security at consumer prices; New design combines substance and style

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 .

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 all the 32GB can be used; the key ring/tie has little strength

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.

Can A Pro Hack It

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

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.
