The flash drive is protected in a plastic blister. We see that it has 8GB, comes with DATA TRAVELER LOCKER + G2 protection, is compatible with Windows / MacOS operating systems and offers us a 5-year warranty.

At the rear are all its features.

Its sturdy metal casing and includes a practical cord for its transport.

USB 2.0 connection and USB 3.0 compatible. With 10MB / s read and 5MB / s write speed

Once we insert the pendrive in the USB port, this configuration screen appears. We select our language.

Then we read the license and if we agree we accept it and click next.

Being a USB stick with hardware encryption. We need to enter a password and an indication or reminder. In our case we have used Test123, since it forces us to have between 6 to 16 characters, number, capital letter or special characters.

We insert name and company.

And we finish the wizard.

Automatically starts the unit.

Now we remove the flash drive (always safely) and reinsert it. And indeed, a screen is launched for us to enter our password.

We insert it and we already have the pendrive available.

Although the DataTraveler Locker + G2 has a USB 2.0 connection, its read / write capabilities are quite good. And we will notice the difference with respect to any mid-range flash drive.

The second generation of Kingston DataTraveler Locker + G2 USB flash drives has a very strong and stylish metal casing.

The strong point of this flash drive series is its excellent level of security, thanks to its hardware encryption, which allows us to safely store our most important data.

The software that comes by default, allows us to create a password between 6 to 16 digits of high security impossible to crack. What if I lose the pendrive? Well the key locks and formats after 10 failed password attempts. That is, if you lose your flash drive, no one will be able to see your data. Maximum security and ideal for a company and the LOPD law.

To this we must add the possibility of customizing a logo (Co-LOGO), a good read (10MB / s) and write (5MB / s) of data. Although we would have liked it to be 3.0, which would make it the fastest and safest USB flash drive on the market.

WE RECOMMEND YOU: Kingston launches its HyperX Savage memories

We must not forget that it is compatible with the operating systems: Windows ^® 7, Vista ^®, XP and Mac OS X and that it offers us 5 years of warranty of which 3 are with free technical support. Not all manufacturers can say the same.
