hi Dave Taylor here and when I tell you
0:07
that I have a lot of USB thumb drives
0:10
I'm not kidding I get a lot of these
0:12
things but they all have the same
0:13
fundamental problem and that is if I
0:16
lose one of them whether it's really
0:18
cool looking or whether it's something
0:19
that's really mundane all of the data
0:22
that I have on this is accessible by
0:24
whoever finds it whether it's my
0:26
spreadsheets taxes that I'm working on a
0:30
or even just email from somebody special
0:32
that's a problem that's why I was really
0:35
excited when Kingston sent me one of
0:37
their data traveler lockers so this is
0:40
the same basic idea it's another one of
0:42
these USB drives and it even looks the
0:45
same no nothing special about it except
0:48
what is special is that it actually has
0:50
a built-in encryption system so every
0:52
time I plug this into a Mac or a PC or
0:56
any other computer I will need to know
0:58
the secret password to be able to access
1:00
what's on it all right so let's plug in
1:02
our data traveler for the first time and
1:05
what it does is it's actually going to
1:06
give us the opportunity to install some
1:08
encryption software so this is as far as
1:11
people would be able to get and since
1:13
it's a first time I'll go ahead and run
1:16
it so the launcher is going to prompt us
1:17
to configure things for this machine
1:19
okay English we agree with the
1:24
license I'm going to set up my initial
1:26
password but I'm not going to tell you
1:28
what it is so just give me a second to
1:30
type it in I'll be right back all right
1:31
this looks good with a fake password
1:33
hint how about that to make sure people
1:35
really will never get it what I'm doing
1:37
here is I'm actually going ahead and
1:39
entering a phone number and my name and
1:42
that's just in case the device is ever
1:44
found in fact people can get to this
1:47
without knowing the password but
1:48
anything that I save on the regular
1:50
Drive will be completely inaccessible so
1:53
looks good let's finish
1:56
up so now that we have it formatted it
1:59
shows up is just another drive so we can
2:01
go ahead and click on Kingston and let's
2:03
just drag some data onto it and you'll
2:05
see it copies pretty quickly cuz it's a
2:08
usb3 device so it doesn't take very long
2:14
megabytes and when it's done let's go
2:16
ahead and eject it now of course the
2:18
interesting thing is to go ahead and
2:21
remount it on the computer they put it
2:23
in their computer and all they see is
2:26
that same fake DVD so we double click on
2:29
it and we can see here's the support
2:32
software but unless I actually know the
2:35
password I'm not going to be able to get
2:37
any further than this unless I know the
2:41
password this is as far as I'm going to
2:43
get in terms of accessing the data on
2:45
this USB drive so out of a sea of USB
2:48
drives I got to say this Kingston data
2:51
traveler is pretty slick makes me want
2:53
to get rid of all the other ones because
2:56
this one will make sure that any data
2:58
that I put on it is safe and secure cure
3:00
so I recommend you check it out too and
3:02
it's really very price competitive with
3:04
all of these other devices so check it
3:06
out this is Dave Taylor and I'll see you
