Because they need to carry some confidential data with them, many people have encryption requirements for USB flash drives. In Kingston, a real "hardware encryption" method was used for this purpose, and DataTraveler 2000 encryption USB flash disk was launched.

This USB flash drive is based on hardware encryption and supports AES 256 Bit data encryption in XTS mode. It also provides a physical PIN password lock with dual protection, which is difficult to crack. If the password is entered incorrectly more than 10 times, it will be locked automatically.

In addition, every time the user unplugs from the computer, the USB stick will be locked automatically, so each time the USB stick is inserted, the user needs to enter the password again. If the unlocking fails for 10 consecutive times, the USB stick will also delete the internal data to ensure security. It is worth mentioning that the encryption system of the USB flash disk is designed independently and does not need other software support. It can be used in Windows, Mac OS, Linux, Chrome OS, Android and other system environments.

The USB flash disk has three capacities of 16GB, 32GB and 64GB, and USB 3.1 interface. The read/write speed is as follows:

16GB: 120MB/s, 20MB/s

32GB: 135MB/s, 40MB/s

64GB: 135MB/s, 40MB/s

It is reported that DataTraveler 2000 will be launched in the first quarter of 2016, and the price has not been announced yet.
