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.

You Get What You Pay
I'm a huge fan of the look and the cap-less design, but I'm not sure about its reliability over time since it tends to run so warm. It seems reliable so far, but I would recommend avoiding long read/write sessions to prevent the drive from overheating itself.
Pros:
- -Budget Oriented -Extremely Light -Sturdy Cap-less Sliding Design -Has Area for Attaching String or to Key-chain -Stable (Stress tested by filling entire drive with contents
- verifying saved data and repeated 3 times
Cons:
- -No Indicator Light (Showing when the drive is busy and when safe to remove -Gets VERY Warm While In Use (May be a cause for concern regarding longevity of the drive -Slow Write Speeds For Advertised USB 3.0 Interface (Similar to speeds of USB 2.0 Drives

That was a waste of $10. I wouldn't get another of these if they paid ME
Do yourself and read other reviews. I started copying an ISO to it about 3 hours ago. It's about 10% done as I type this. Not even worth returning or using for ANYTHING. They are going in the trash (3). I got hosed and I hate when that happens.
Pros:
- You could try and find one but you'd end up lying
Cons:
- Slow is not even a word you could use for this thing
- The only place this thing is good for is the trash

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

Kingston DataTraveler HyperX
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!
Pros:
- Easily retractable USB plug
- fast
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...

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.

Kingston DataTraveler HyperX
Kingston attaches its ‘HyperX' brand name to its top performing products and after testing the 32Gbyte DataTraveler, we can safely say the name is well deserved.
