The Kingston DataTraveler 2000 is designed with a focus on security. The drive is locked with a word or a combination of numbers via the alphanumeric keypad. When the USB stick is removed from a device, the automatic lock function is activated, which also deletes the encryption key after 10 invalid login attempts. It features full hardware-based 256-bit AES data encryption in XTS mode, ensuring that no PIN can be tracked through the computer system. Its robust design protects the storage from everyday elements such as water and dust.
