Kingstons Data Traveler 2000 is designed to be secure, with an alphanumeric keypad that locks the drive with a word or number combination, for easy-to-use PIN protection. Its auto-lock feature is activated when the drive is removed from a device, & it deletes the encryption key after 10 failed intrusion attempts. It features hardware based, full-disk AES 256-bit data encryption in XTS mode. Encryption is done on the drive, not on the host computer, & no trace of the PIN is left on the system, for an advanced level of security.
