Loved it so much that I bought it twice.......2007-12-31
I originally bought this item to transfer files from work to home without the hassle of e-mail attachments and size limitations. It worked flawlessly and was so tiny that I could keep it with me all the time. It's also extremely adorable. Sadly, a few weeks after the purchase, my purse was stolen with the little guy inside, and I went without a flash drive for several months until I finally decided it was worth a second try, and here we are. It's just as good as I remember, and I'm so glad I bought another one. It's just a great teeny-tiny flash drive. If you're looking for a functional, non-hideous drive, this one is for you.
Good.......2007-12-27
The product is good, but the USPS shipping is not good. Not able to track the shipment. always says that carrier has been notified and thats all...no further updates. Also arrived after a week.
UPS is far better that USPS.
Pendrive miniatura super chic.......2007-12-24
Es un excelente producto, me encanta su diseño y color llamativo, es super original y funciona tan bien como cualquier otro Kingston.
Lo recomiendo, en especial para niños pues trae dos juegos muy divertidos.
Awesome.......2007-12-14
I use a Toughbook and I do a lot of training. I have pictures, powerpoints, documents and more on mine. I liked it so much I bought the other colors and sizes. They are reliable and adorable. It is also a talking point becauseno one that sees it believes it. They can also link together like legos, not for memory, just for fun when you're really bored!
excellent.......2007-11-15
this is an excellent drive with large capacity and no baggage (i.e. stupid software). the only potential downside is that it is REALLY small (in physical dimensions, not storage capacity). I have lost the drive on several occasions only to find it a day later in my pocket or at the bottom of my bag.

Better than the others I've been using.......2007-12-28
Have used PNY, Lexar and Iomega flash drives. Bought this Kingston based on reviews here of the Kingston Data Traveler and the Data Traveler II.
I like this drive; does everything it's supposed to, doesn't come with annoying software, and has a snug-fitting cap. You'd appreciate the last feature, especially if you bought a 1GB PNY. Its cap is particularly loose fitting.
Used to be, with XP SP1, these flash drives needed to be formatted with NTFS file system and also (in Device Manager) needed its Policies set to "Optimize for Performance", or they would run badly.
Quite to my surprise this doesn't really seem to matter with XP SP2, which I now use. I formatted it NTFS anyway but leave its Policies set to Optimize for Quick Removal (the default) and don't seem to be paying a penalty.
Would recommend this DT II over the plain Kingston Data Traveler. It's worth the extra $4 or so for its speed.
Will be buying additional Kingston IIs as the need arises.
Worked well for two months and then completely failed.......2007-09-24
I purchased this USB drive due to the low cost and due to the Kingston name. I used the drive to transfer data between computers and did so about once a day. The drive worked well at first, but after only two months of use, the USB drive stopped working. Fortunately, I had not deleted the data after I transferred it to a drive so nothing was lost, but losing data was certainly a risk.
I would hesitate to purchase another Kingston drive because my experience is that they are unreliable. At the end of the day, you get what you pay for. I plan to spend more money on another brand in the future because it is worth the extra expense to ensure that my data is safe.
Great Buy.......2007-08-12
This is not only cheap, but it holds a lot of stuff! I can't believe how fast I can transfer data on and off of this flash drive. But, what do you expect, it's a Kingston.
I LOVE my Kingston Data Traveler II!.......2007-07-22
I am real happy I bought this. It works great just like promised. I have been carrying this around on my key ring for a long time now and it is working great. The cap is nice and tight, so I don't have to worry about it getting lost. I'm real rough with my keys sometimes, but the Kingston doesn't give me any troubles. Very reliable, nice looking, sturdy, great price, ... etc.
HMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM.......2007-06-23
I recieved my item today and I am very pleased with it although it was sent through the mail and I was charged six dollars for the shipping. I also noticed that in the description it says it weighs 2 lbs. which is an error I hope and doesn't reflect why I paid so much for shipping. Other than that overall I am pleased with the product.

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.

Flat out GREAT!.......2007-03-17
I bought one of these for work. I was able to transfer a 581 Megabyte SQL database to the drive in a little under 3 minutes. Probably more likely just above 2 minutes. Very fast.
Then there's the security peace of mind. No software to install on any PC you use it on. I love it. The titanium case and waterproofing are icing on the cake. Price has gone up a good chunk, I guess these are getting popular. I don't know if I will bother with conventional pen drives anymore. If you have to keep tax records, visa numbers etc at home and are worried about identity theft..with a proper password and setup, here is your solution. [...]
Overall great drive.......2007-01-20
I looked for a USB drive for some time before deciding on the Kingston Secure. I currently own a Sandisk Cruzer Mini and a Micro. Both of the Sandisk drives are extremely slow regardless of the USB technology on the host computer (USB 1.1 or 2.0). This Kingston is extremely fast, the encryption is seemless with no evidence of impacting speed. The sync software isn't very impressive, I prefer using an Open-source program called Unison.
The only down-side of the drive is the price and the size. It's a relatively large drive and when using USB outlets that are side-by-side, it is a tight squeeze using the second slot, even when using a cable for a peripheral device. As for the price, I expect as time passes, the price may come down.
I would like to see more manufacturers use the same technology for their USB drives.
