Kingston DataTraveler Secure 8GB review
Kingston's DataTraveler Secure looks and feels like a tough flash drive. It's even waterproof and the cap attaches to the rear of the drive when not needed. Unlike the other flash drives here, the DataTraveler Secure has hardware 256-bit encryption.

it's too stiff
My other Kingston drives have a connector cover that swivels out of the way. I've been reluctant to put them in my pocket, for fear that the cover would catch on my keys or something. This drive doesn't have that problem; you push the 2 ends of the housing together to expose the connector.
Cons:
- difficult to use

The Kingston DataTraveler Generation 3 (G3) has several practical features going for it. The loop is sturdy and can be attached to a key ring, it works with Linux-based systems and it has a cap that fully encloses the USB connector.
Pros:
- This USB flash drive's loop is sturdy, so you can attach it to a key ring
- the drive can be co-branded with your logo
Cons:
- The Kingston DataTraveler does not include pre-installed security software and does not have an indicator light

The still-new Kingston DataTraveler HyperX ($131 list), announced at CES in January, builds on memory-maker Kingston's HyperX brand for high-speed memory. It doesn't disappoint. It had the fastest read time among these USB flash drives. If only it didn't cost so much!

Cons:
- High price even through Amazon exclusive

I picked up one of these cause I know Kingston is a top brand. However was kind of disappointed in the build quality, the plastics were cheap, loose and just not pleasant to use. Having said that I don't buy my USB sticks for their aesthetics so was pleased with its performance (read/write) and its...

Kingston Technology DataTraveler
Kingston Technology DataTraveler Kingston's DataTraveler, one of the larger drives we looked at, measures 1 inch wide, 0.5 inches thick, and 3.87 inches long (with the cap on); without the cap, it's small enough that it won't block adjacent USB ports when you plug it into a PC.
Pros:
- Attractive design
- relatively inexpensive per megabyte
- can password-protect data
Cons:
- Fairly large

While the Kingston doesn't offer much in the way of extras, it's aggressively priced and super quick.

Taking the DataTraveler Route : Kingston DataTraveler Secure DataTraveler ReadyFlash USB Flash
While the security features offered by the DataTraveler Secure offering are useful, they do come at a price premium. So, unless security is a paramount issue, I would recommend the DataTraveler ReadyFlash for most users. It is one third the price and performed slightly better in my tests.
