The portable storage medium from Kingston called the DataTraveler now has two enterprise solutions namely - the DataTraveler Secure and the DataTraveler Secure Privacy Edition. Today, we have for you the 8GB version of the DataTraveler Secure, which at the moment is the highest capacity available in the Secure and the Secure Privacy Edition series. The Secure Privacy edition offers more encryption options to keep your data safe, while the simple Secure Edition only offers a 256-bit AES hardware based encryption. Let's see how it faired in our Test Lab.

"Not Compatible with older OS" - is what you have said in the CONs. What do you mean by that? Which older OS before Win 2000 natively supports USB?

This price is not the cost of 8 GB storage, it is for the encryption of your data...

Still not worth it dude. Everyone looks at price. Kingston can try all they want to justify it, I don't think people will buy their marketing BS.

What if you lose da freaking thing? It's just a pen drive for god's sake. I can get 2 X 500GB 3.5 inch HDDs for that price. Insane pricing I tell you. 8 gb is nothing for that price.

Dude, seriously consider an alternative for now atleast you can geta freaking 120 GB external 2.5' HDD for just Rs.3700, as for the security there are tons of softwares availible for the same even if they may be 128 bit encryption.
