this video is going to be a quick guide to setting up your data traveler locker
plus so that was the USB flash drive
that I unboxed very recently so this is a 16 gig one here so I plug it in and
then I run the dtl plus
utility takes just a moment to
launch okay here we go so language English that will work out just fine for
me but there's your language selections that you can choose from
and I accept the license agreement which is it's actually not that long it's
actually readable okay and then I put in a
password so here we can see the password rules 6 to 16 characters long and
contain at least three of the following uppercase
lowercase digits and special characters wow okay well it happens that my
personal favorite strong password uh already
contains a bunch of different kinds of characters so I'm just typing it with my
other hand here and uh so that should be just fine so my hint will be
strong okay there we are I can wow I can put in
my name okay so I'll put my name my
company as most of you already know is
NCIX and then details I don't really have any okay so go ahead and
finish so it's formatting the
drive we'll see see how long that takes
hopefully not too long oh done okay so that was it
so can we open the drive now oh yes we
can okay so there I opened up uh another Explorer window and it's
given me the option to open up the drive okay well why don't we do a quick speed test while we're at it so let's grab a
large file like a say for example a video file and copy it over
there so this is a 799 Meg file and I'll
let you guys do the timing if you feel like it but we can see what Windows
reports as the speed which isn't actually too bad for uh just a normal
USB flash drive some of the Quad Channel ones will do up to about 25 megabytes
per second so I assume this one's a dual channel
one this should be done fairly shortly I guess I could have chosen a smaller
video file if I really wanted to uh anyway the advantage that you get with
the locker plus is that you have the data encryption so what I'm going to do
is once this file is on the drive I'm going to take it out put it back in the
computer and then we'll see the little prompt where it should ask for a
password before I can actually access the
drive that's cool I'm
patient almost
done and then there we go so the file is
copied so I'm going to go ahead and pull it out of the computer
now if I can find it there it is okay we
have removed it now let's try again plug it
in and let's see what
happens here we go so can I just open a folder to view the oh no I cannot so I
have to actually run the the auto run okay open autoplay run the launcher so
now hopefully it'll give me a choice to just put in the password and
access the data yeah there we
go I've never actually used an encrypted USB before okay there's my hint so I can
log in and there we go there's my data so if
I copy this into here uh yeah copy and
replace we can see how quickly we can read off the drive so you can see the
reads are quite a bit faster than the rights
bear in mind you're going to get slower results if you're using a number of small files versus one large file so I'm
I'm giving it every Advantage here to prove its best case scenario but there
you have it there's our little uh setup guide and test of the Kingston 16 gig
data traveler locker plus don't forget to subscribe to Linus Tech tips and I
have a question for you if you want to leave a comment under the video tell me
what you would use an encrypted USB thumb drive for and the winner of
whoever I think has the best or funniest or most appropriate or I don't know it's
going to be arbitrary but I'm going to pick one winner and they will win a 16
gig data traveler locker plus so that's
pretty cool right leave a comment
