If you need a lot of storage capacity in a flash drive, but also need the ability to encrypt the contents of the drive to keep sensitive data safe Kingston’s 4GB Data Traveler Secure can do the job.

This drive uses 256-bit AES hardware encryption and wraps the drive in a durable case to keep it safe during daily use.

Kingston DataTraveler 128MB Review

Topic:

EnvyNews writes:
Well on our way to our 30th USB Flash drive review, this time we evaluate Kingston’s DataTraveler 128MB product. Beauty and super affordability can be achieved in one product. A quote from the review:

“When you’ve evaluated, tested, and written over twenty USB Flash Drive reviews, one starts to have a greater understanding of their differences and determining factors that the manufacturer tries to expand upon to make the product appealing to the mass market. In the case of the Kingston DataTraveler, Kingston Technology set forth to redefine and set the standard for USB Flash Drive appearances, specifically in the area of industrial design and human-interface/ergonomics. The DataTraveler 128MB is still a USB 1.1 certified Flash drive, but its beauty more than makes up for this issue.”
