Kingston Technology Keeps Data Safe and SecureDataTraveler® (DT) Locker
Providing New DataTraveler Locker at Consumer-Friendly Prices

Hsinchu, Taiwan - (March 10, 2008) - Kingston Technology Company, Inc., the independent world leader in memory products, today announced the launch of DataTraveler® (DT) Locker, a USB Flash drive that provides a convenient and secure way to store and backup digital data, initially in Asia only. The DataTraveler Locker allows users to create a privacy zone partition that protects data with 256-bit Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) hardware-based encryption, the strongest available on the market.

"Given the increasing importance of the business information and personal data protection, we decided to develop the DT Locker which combines top-notch security features with an attractive consumer price point," said Dave Lee, Flash Memory Product Manager of APAC Region, Kingston®. "The ability to create a public and private zone allows users to have maximum flexibility in the use of their DataTraveler Locker."

The DataTraveler Locker gives consumers peace of mind. The drive's 256-bit AES encryption is achieved through a dedicated co-processor that encrypts data "on the fly." The privacy partition is accessed via password entry and the brute force attacks are discouraged while the drive locks down and reformats after ten failed attempts.

The DT Locker sports a rugged design with a metal casing that surrounds and protects a rubberized chassis that swivels open to reveal the USB connector. The 2GB capacity is available now and will be followed by the 4GB and 8GB capacities. The Kingston DataTraveler Locker is supported by a five-year warranty and free technical support.
