Data throughput is slower than other USB drives / the drive weighs more than most plastic USB thumbdrives........2007-09-24

Data throughput is slower than other USB drives / the drive weighs more than most plastic USB thumbdrives.

You don't have to buy this to get free and seamless encryption for jump drives if you are using XP, Vista or even Windows 2000.

There IS NO SOFTWARE INSTALLATION when you insert the drive, instead the DTSP_Launcher.exe applet will autorun (if enabled) and walk you through the password setup process, and create a custom hint.

If you fail to enter the password 10 consecutive times, the disk will destroy the protected data with a thorough wipe, we couldn't restore the data with Sysinternals Disk Commander or SmartUnDelete.

Data transfer from the encrypted partition is slower than other jump drives we use, it seems comparable to the latency we encounter when using NTFS EFS formatted disks.

The disadvantage to NTFS EFS is you have to import the decryption certificate / key onto any system you wish to read the encrypted data, unless the key is deleted when done then any data encrypted and stored anywhere can be read by the importing computer.

Titanium casing is plastic hybrid and has some noticeable but not necessarily arduous weight, if you are used to carrying it inside your pocket you'll notice if it falls out.
--------- Management ---------
Inside Win32 DiskManager the drive appears as multiple partitions, the first is a virtual CD-ROM about 6MB in size, this contains the DTSP_Launcher.exe, the encrypted partition will appear as a Removable Disk.

The DTSP_Launcher.exe applet remains resident in the application bar tray and can be dynamically unloaded.

Overall, we recommend it because it is straightforward to use, doesn't install software onto your computer and thoroughly destroys the data when necessary.

Not Bad, but not Cheap.......2006-12-28

Using an encrypted storage device lessens my concern that if my USB drive is lost or stolen, the contents will be misappropriated. Even if I'm not carrying sensitive information (and I'm not), using encryption seems like a straightforward way to reduce risk.

Is it worth it? I guess that depends. If your USB drive is full of videos you downloaded off Youtube, maybe not. If it's got the latest copy of your company's top-secret marketing plan, maybe so.

Kingston describes this particular drive as a consumer-grade device, as distinguished from an almost-identical "privacy edition." The primary difference is that the DT Secure allows the user to select the percentage of the total capacity that is encrypted, while the Privacy Edition is 100% encrypted. The Privacy Edition also enforces a "strong password" policy that requires alpha and numeric characters, minimum length, etc. Also, these are Windows-only devices, at least as far as encryption is concerned -- Windows 2000 SP3 or above, or Windows XP.

I encrypt just about everything, so I probably should have waited for the Privacy Edition to hit the market. I got impatient and bought this model (the DT Secure) instead. The partitioning process is painless; I set mine up to use 1.5MB encrypted with the remainder unencrypted. Kingston describes these as the "privacy" and "public" zones, respectively.

Access to the privacy zone is by a user-defined password. Kingston states that the DT Secure will lock the privacy zone after 10 failed authentications (in order to foil a brute-force or dictionary attack). In the event that the privacy zone is locked, the drive must be reformatted, which will destroy the encrypted data. I have not tested the failed-authentication lockout. FWIW, the DT Secure stores a password hint with the password.

I've used the DT Secure with various XP desktops and laptops, and it works pretty well. When you plug the drive into a USB port, you get a Windows Explorer display of the contents of the public zone. One of the items in the public zone is a small (1.5 KB) executable that will authenticate you into the privacy zone. If you authenticate successfully, you get a Windows Explorer display of the contents of the privacy zone. There's a "logout" executable in the privacy zone; the authentication system is also smart enough to log you out if you simply yank the drive out of the USB port.

In the couple months that I've had it, working with files on the DT Secure has been uneventful. I haven't encountered any problems using or copying content, and performance seems at least as good as any other USB drive I've used. The device itself is slightly longer and thicker than some other USB drives I've used, but at roughly 3" long and 1/2" thick, it's sufficiently portable. Kingston says that the case is "waterproof titanium-coated stainless steel." I have no idea if that's true, but the thing feels pretty solid and has withstood the rigors of my shirt and pants pockets. I just took a closer look at it, and the matte-finish surface shows no scratches or signs of wear.

The big question about the Data Traveler Secure is whether or not you want to pay a substantial premium for hardware encryption. If you need encrypted USB storage, and work in a Windows XP environment, this (or the 100%-encrypted Privacy Edition) might be worth a closer look.
