Kingston Digital, one of the world leaders in memory products, has released Data Traveler 2000 encrypted USB Flash drive. This portable memory device offers best-in-class security features like hardware encryption and PIN protection with an on board keypad. The device is expected to ship in Q1 in 16 GB, 32 GB and 64 GB capacities.
At CES 2016, Kingston has announced a new USB drive that’ll make the life easier for the privacy concerned users. This secure Data-traveler 2000 encrypted USB Flash drive is created to provide the best possible security measures to the IT professionals for carrying sensitive documents.
The USB drive looks impressive right from the outside. As you pull out the outer aluminum cover, a built-in keypad will be there to surprise you. When inserted into a computer, you’ll have to unlock the device by entering the correct PIN. Failing to do so in 10 attempts, the USB will self-destruct — sounds just like the pen drive from Hollywood flicks like Mission Impossible, right?
This USB 3.1 compatible thumb drive offers speeds of up to 135 MBps read and 40 Mbps write. On the security front, Data Traveler 2000 comes with hardware-based full disk AES 256-bit encryption in XTS mode. The drive also protects your data from brute-force attacks.

“We are excited to add Data Traveler 2000 to our existing lineup of fast and encrypted USB Flash drives for organizations and SMBs,” said Ken Campbell, Flash business manager, Kingston. “It is the perfect option to deploy in the workforce where a uniform encrypted data storage solution that works on many different OS’ are in use.”

The Data Traveler 2000 is expected to hit the markets in the end of 2016 Q1.
