  • Hardware based 256-bit AES encryption
  • Includes "lockdown" mode for increased security

Kingston 8 GB DataTraveler Locker plus

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.

Stopped working after not much use.

Maybe I got a rear duff one, maybe I didn't
Pros:
  • It would be very good if it hadn't have stopped working
Cons:
  • 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.

Kingston's Card Reader has Micro memory card slots! This means you don't need a converting enclosure, eventually slowing down your card performance. CR works in a USB2 port as well, without really any difference in speed.

Good quality

This USB 3.0 reader feels really nice, and seems like a really good quality product - unlike some previous card readers I have had. The logo lights up in red when you plug it into the pc, and flashes when it is accessing the cards.

8Gb for under £15. There had to be a catch...

Yes, that's 8Gb of SDHC storage for under £15. That's cheap. There had to be a catch... Speed... pretty good actually. Sure there are faster cards, but they're a lot more expensive. It certainly stored 3 pictures per second at 5 megapixels from the digital camera without complaining.
