Kingston Digital DTVP30 is an encrypted flash drive available in the following storage spaces: 4GB, 8GB, 16GB, 32GB, and 64GB. The model has the capacity of 8 GB and that is enough to store your private information, documents, photos, and online wallets' logins. But, if you are fond of videos and movies - you'd better pick a flash drive with at least 64 GB of storage memory or opt for an HDD. Kingston Digital DTVP30 can be easily connected to your TV as it hooks up directly to a USB port of a TV and doesn't require any cables. This encrypted flash drive supports USB 3.0 interface and features the SuperSpeed technology, allowing a faster data transfer. Therefore, this drive has high read and write speed rates, 165 MB/s and 22 MB/s respectively.
Owing to such a speed, the files are opened within seconds and videos are reproduced without delays. However, you should be aware that these write/read speeds are achieved only if the flash drive is plugged in the USB 3.0 port.
In case your laptop, PC or TV has only USB 2.0 interface, the read/write speed decreases quite considerably. Kingston Digital DTVP30 weighs only 0.3 oz. And has really small dimensions: 3.2 x 0.5 x 1 inches. It is obvious that this device is a fantastic choice since it is portable and it even fits a pocket of your trousers. For its small size, this flash drive lacks a keypad, but it's not a great deal, to be honest. If you're after security, it will still do the job.
We should also mention that this secure flash drive is sealed in an aluminum casing and is waterproof at a depth of 1.2 m. Additionally, Kingston flash drive has a special lacing hole on the body that allows wearing it around your neck. This small and portable drive uses one of the strongest encryption algorithms - 256-bit AES-XTS - to protect your sensitive information.
For additional security, there is an ESET antivirus (it's pre-installed on the drive). This feature allows you to fearlessly connect your flash drive to any PC and be sure that no malware is capable of attacking your device. To set a password for gaining access to your data, you have to setup the device on your PC and perform the initialization of the encrypted drive. We recommend you to write your password down. In case you forget it, the encrypted drive will delete all the information after 10 incorrect password entries.
The Encrypted Drive accepts the data, encrypts it by means of chip and hard disk key and stores it encrypted in the storage medium. In the opposite direction, the encrypted data is retrieved from the storage medium, decrypted by chip and hard disk key and transferred to the outside world.
If this is true then no loss that I had to redo everything, the drives weren't exFAT so they wouldn't work anyway. All three drives have identical data on them so I can wipe a drive then reinstall Truecrypt. If everyone here feels that Truecrypt is actually safe enough then I'm happy to continue with that. I just can't afford a HIPAA violation if something happens to my drive when I very rarely transport it.
If I stick with Truecrypt I need the mac desktop application which is where I ran into the thing saying it wasn't safe. Does anyone know where I can still get that? Also let's check that I'm doing everything right just in case: 1. I have one external that is unencrypted, will remain so, and will, following this, be kept in a different, secure location. I have two external hard drives to encrypt that I have written as exFAT and will reinstall Truecrypt and copy all my files, one hd at a time. Is there anything else I should know or do to make sure the files and data remain safe? Also thank you for all your help!
