Tax documents, company memos and even personal files are just some of the things that you might not want others to be able to see. With those security needs in mind, Kingston has created the DataTraveler Locker+, and ASE Labs has the 16GB model up for review.
USB Flash drives are a great way of carrying around portable data. However, keeping this data safe from prying eyes usually requires some form of security; whether it is password or encryption protection. In most cases, hardware encrypted USB Flash drives are the most secure way of locking up ones data. Of course these drives can be rather expensive. Thankfully, Kingston has released the relatively affordable DataTraveler Locker+ USB Flash drive, which features hardware-based encryption
APH Networks reviews the hardware encrypted Locker+ G2 from Kingston. But how well does it perform?
To most people there are only 2 things that really matter when out to get a brand new USB flash drive, price and performance (and both if possible). However there are quite a few people out there who place size above all else (that's mostly what matter for use with media players and car A/V systems) and so most USB flash drives currently in the market will simply not do. Kingston is well aware of the existence of this target group and so they just recently launched their latest DataTraveler Micro USB 2.0 Flash drive which as the name clearly states is one of the smallest USB flash drives in the market today.
I doubt there's a person out there who has never owned a USB flash drive (some girls i know haven't but you get my point) but lately with Tablets and large smartphones getting for good in our lives things have changed quite a bit. The reason is that conventional/standard USB flash drives can't be easily used (you can always purchase an adapter) with smartphones and tablets so if you happen to own one and you want to use it to its full extend getting one of the latest OTG (On the Go) models is obviously your best way out. Unfortunately until recently most OTG USB flash drives featured USB 2.0 compatible ports which were not ideal for copying large files and that at least to us was a large problem. USB 3.0 compatible OTG USB flash drives are now available however and the first one to land in our hands is the DataTraveler microDuo 3.0 64GB model by our friends over at Kingston.
Accidents happen to all of us especially when we least expect them and so it's always a good idea to store all our sensitive data inside rugged storage media devices that can offer a considerably higher level of protection compared to regular everyday ones. Unfortunately as we speak manufacturers have seem to focus most of their resources for the design of rugged PHDs (Portable Hard Drives) and not so much in the design of rugged USB flash drives. As a matter of fact the last and perhaps best quality rugged USB flash drive I’ve ever used was designed and manufactured by Corsair roughly 5 years ago and let me tell you that it was no coincidence that they named it the Survivor GT (the casing was made by alloy used in aircraft). Cost however always plays a huge role when designing a USB flash drive and so most manufacturers seem to favor rubber coated casings that offer both shock and water resistance at a fraction of the price. The DataTraveler R3.0 G2 is the latest USB Flash Drive by Kingston that features such a casing and with us today we have the highest capacity 64GB model.
Mobile Datenspeicher in Form von USB-Sticks gibt es von vielen verschiedenen Herstellern in den unterschiedlichsten Formen und Größen mit diversen Kapazitäten. Mit dem DataTraveler R500 bietet Kingston einen USB-Stick, welcher neben einem robusten und strapazierfähigen Gehäuse auch noch flink genug für die alltäglichen Arbeiten sein soll. Insgesamt mit drei verschiedenen Kapazitäten (16, 32 und 64 GiB) wird der DataTraveler R500 angeboten. Die kleinste Version mit 16 GiB Speicherkapazität nehmen wir in unserem heutigen Review unter die Lupe. Wie sich der Kingston DataTraveler R500 schlägt, erfahrt ihr somit auf den folgenden Seiten.
USB 3.0 ist immer weiter auf dem Vormarsch. Grund genug für uns heute einen USB 3.0 Stick zu testen. Der Stick kommt von Kingston und hört auf den Namen DataTraveler Ultimate 3.0 16GB Ob Der Stick sein Geld Wert ist und überhaupt schneller ist als ein USB 2.0 Stick erfahrt Ihr heute bei uns im Test. Viel Spaß beim Lesen des Artikels.
Vor der Einführung von USB3.0 war es recht langwierig größere Datenmengen auf einen USB-Stick zu kopieren. Einige wenige Sticks wurden zwar mit einer eSATA-Schnittstelle ausgeliefert, hierbei handelte es sich aber eher um Exoten. Mit der Einführung der neuen Schnittstelle und der damit verbundenen, zumindest in der Theorie, höheren Übertragungsrate sollte es nun auch einfacher sein die kleinen Speichersticks flink zu befüllen. Von Kingston haben wir heute den DataTraveler Ultimate 3.0 mit einer Kapazität von 32 GB im Test. Wie sich dieser schlägt, erfahrt ihr auf den folgenden Seiten.
The DataTraveler Ultimate 3.0 has read speeds of 80MB/sec and 60MB/sec for writes when using USB 3.0 and 30MB/sec for both read and write operating on a USB 2.0 connection. In case you were wondering; yes it is backwards compatible with USB 2.0 connectors. Depending on the power output of the USB 2.0 connection, you may need to use the included Y-split cable for powering the DataTraveler Ultimate 3.0.
