Kingston Technology is launching the Datatraveler Secure, a new line of durable, waterproof USB 2.0 Flash drives featuring industry-leading hardware-based encryption to safeguard critical data.
The new Datatraveler Secure joins Kingston Technology's family of Datatraveler USB drives and is suitable for professionals and SME users.
Capable of withstanding harsh operating conditions, the new Datatraveler Secure features a revolutionary new waterproof titanium-coated stainless steel casing. Its waterproof rating conforms to the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) 60529 IPX8 standard to protect against water damage to depths of up to 1.2m (four feet).
Controlled access and data protection is provided via a 256-bit Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) hardware-based encryption, enabling information to be encrypted and decrypted by authorised users without the need for special software. The Datatraveler Secure drives are high-performing units, with 24 MB/sec read and 10 MB/sec write speeds, and are available in capacities of up to 4GB.
Jim Selby, product marketing manager for the EMEA region at Kingston Technology, comments: “Kingston continues to deliver a wide range of USB Flash drives to protect user data. The Datatraveler Secure drives ensure data integrity under extreme conditions, without sacrificing performance.”
Designed to protect sensitive data on Windows-based systems, the Datatraveler Secure comes with Mydatazone software that enables business users to apply password-controlled access for a private data storage area on the USB drive. If ever lost or stolen, this advanced encryption continues to protect data in the drive's privacy zone. For ease-of-use and personalisation, the Datatraveler Secure includes My Traveler software to help users manage content, set language preferences and synchronise files with a host device.
The Kingston Datatraveler Secure drive is available with capacities of 512MB, 1GB, 2GB and 4GB. It is compatible with Windows 2000 SP4 or higher and Windows XP SP1 and above. Each unit is guaranteed for five years.
