Kingston Technology - DataTraveler Locker 8 GB USB 2.0 Flash Drive

=============================== OVERVIEW =============================== Are you looking for the Best Flash Drive on Best Buy? The one with the Best Security?! The one that you can Trust?! The one that is not backed up with a 5 year line of fail hardware and design? One that has been around and one that has gotten their feet wet and know how to make the system work instead of just talking about it? Well than Kingston is for you! =============================== History =============================== Kingston has been around for at-least 10 years or more and they backup their technology. They been hardcore ever since day one son! And when you buy under their name you are Promised to get your moneys worth! =============================== High Fanbase = High Support =============================== And if you end up getting a fail product under their name.. its so easy to take that little mistake back and re-buy under their name and find a much much better one.. not like some brand names where you fin a fail product every-time you buy from them. Kingston does a pretty good job at making people enjoy their stuff with the lowest cost possible. And the fact they are so good at it they can sell you a cheaper product of a better value. =============================== Kingston Perfected Ram Chips! =============================== They started out with Kingston ram and they was the best! And now they have switched over to making USB drives. And trust me.. you will be greatly happy with what they can do. =============================== Kingston Flash Drive Offline Control Panel =============================== The Flash Drive comes with an install-able control panel that from what i can see only installs at a minimal space on your flash drive and shares no data at all across the internet. And you don't have to put in accurate information in order for it work. If someone steals your flash drive if they enter the wrong password 10 times your data disappears before their eyes making this flash drive perfect for businesses and perfect for anyone that wants to transfer data from on computer to the next without having to rely on a piece of junk syncing service that enjoys storying your info against your wished on the internet. =============================== Save Money On In-secure Online Data Collecting Services =============================== The flash drive will save you 50 to 100 dollars a year on syncing and password storing services and even data storage and transfer services because you can store your stuff on a portable bank and take it with you where ever you go. You can also run around to the dollar tree and buy some kind of color coding twist ties of some sort and color code your flash drives or you can be creative and buy many USB flash drives under the name of Kingston and choose random colors of what ever they have to offer. =============================== 8GB = perfect for anything you want to do. =============================== But for the best secure data.. I would recommend this flash drive to anyone. Its 8 GB and the control panel uses such a minimal space on the flash drive up.. i think its a 3rd of a gig on your flash drive. That's perfect! =============================== Need something faster? They got that too! =============================== And if you still want security but at a faster transfer rate that got something a little bit smaller with same system in the 4 GB range. It has faster transfer speeds than the 8 GB and it also has the same control panel. So if you plan on wanting something just for passwords and plan on storing passwords on text files.. or documents.. the 4 GB is perfect but if you want to transfer videos and top secret projects the 8 GB is great! =============================== Cheapest and Most Featured on Best Buy =============================== If you are looking for a flash drive that is cheap and is run by a company that won't scam you or rip you off on junk! Than Kingston is perfect for you! =============================== The Flaws are not so bad! =============================== This flash drive does tend to load up slow on windows XP systems but I found out that it runs faster when you plug it up to a small cheap USB hub or a USB extension cord that you can find at the dollar tree. Also don't forget if you are running windows 7 or vista.. if you insert the flash drive a lot than it may sometimes not want to load up. I have found that rebooting the computer or logging out and than back in should clear up the delay. I would like to also say if you are having issues with loading this flash drive up you can also try to buy a super cheap tablet that has a USB connection on the side for around 30 to 50 bucks and what they will do is allow you to always have access to your USB on the Go and without the need to use the internet. =============================== I recommend this to anyone! =============================== I do not trust the internet or any service when it comes to storing super secure data. So I would recommend this flash drive to anyone! And they so cheap! I feel like buying 10 more of these things! Compared to all the other ones.. this flash drive has the best price and the price features and is more affordable that other USBs and the reason why that Kingston can do that is because they have stood strong for many years and have done real well in their history and so they are able to provide the best technology at the best price!

I have had this product for about 2 months and have used it continuously since the day I opened it. As a college student, I need to have access to all of my files and data, which I now have thanks to this flasd drive. I carry it with me everywhere I go, it's like it's connected to my hip. It's great being able to have immediate access to all my files without the hassle of lugging around my desktop(lol) everywhere I go. I also like that the drive is encrypted with a personal password, which provides me a great deal of comfort knowing that my files can't be altered, stolen or deleted. I have also found out that it is very durable and well made as I have dropped it a few times and it has not given me any trouble. I highly recommend this product to anyone looking for an affordable, encrypted flash drive with plenty of memory for any and all of your needs. We like this product so much that we are buying a second one for my wife.

I've tried a few other "secure" flash drives with a bit of disappointment but this one met my expectations. I'ts small and can fit pretty much anywhere which makes it perfect for my travels. I really like the swivel closure, I am known for losing caps and do not care for flash drives with no cover. What I liked the most is that I do not have to install software on every pc that I plug into. If a friend wants to share photos of out trip with me, they shouldn't have to allow me to install software on their laptop! So that was a winning feature for me. Other thank that, on a girly note I'd like more color options...pink perhaps!

Nice flash drive and the encryption feature had clear instructions that made it easy to set up, and it seems to work very well. I like the fact that if someone tries to guess the password they only get 10 tries after which the data is scrambled and unrecoverable. Obviously you want to use a strong password that you can remember (at least with 10 tries). Great for storing sensitive information like logins/passwords, financial info, etc. and there's no need to worry if you lose the drive somewhere. I had tried a model from another well known company (who shall go nameless) but its instructions were sparse and I couldn't get the encryption to work. The Kensington drive was a breeze to use by comparison.

this is a great product for the price. I wouldn't of thought of a password protected USB but when my 12 year old daughter sared losing hers it came in pretty handy this school year. The thought of someone else haveing your personal property and dong whatever withit heart wrenching. The capacity of this product is well above others for the price and it so easy to use, my 12 yr.old uses it for school!

I'm always nervous when I take any data away from my home computer. It's much more likely that I will lose any item that leaves my home due to theft or unintentional loss. When I've taken a USB drive containing sensitive, confidential information with me in the past, I've guarded it with my life and felt nervous about its whereabouts at all times. But no more! The password-protected Kingston DataTraveler Locker+ USB drive eliminates this worry. I now know that, even if it is lost, I need not worry because my confidential files and sensitive data will be safe and unavailable to others. Also, I absolutely LOVE the flip cap, especially after tossing some drives in the past because I lost the pop on-off cap. What a waste of money that has been! Note: I've only begun using the Kingston DataTraveler Locker+ USB drive this week, so my comments are based on first impressions. However, I'll return in a couple of weeks and update my review after I've used it more extensively.

This device is easy to use, Mac friendly, and safe. None of the Kingston data products have ever failed me. If you have important docs, you need a safe and cheap way to backup. I would encourage people to give this device a shot.

I have put my 8GB through its paces, and it lives up to my expectations. There aren't many times you may think you need the security provided, but it is much better to have it and not need it than to need it and not have it. I have tried other "secure" thumb drives, and the security was lackluster, at best. This is a great drive to toss those important documents on before your computer gets repaired or replaced, or to keep while traveling.
