00:00:00.599 --> 00:00:08.200
this video is going to be a quick guide to setting up your data traveler locker

00:00:05.120 --> 00:00:10.040
plus so that was the USB flash drive

00:00:08.200 --> 00:00:16.439
that I unboxed very recently so this is a 16 gig one here so I plug it in and

00:00:12.759 --> 00:00:20.480
then I run the dtl plus

00:00:16.439 --> 00:00:20.480
utility takes just a moment to

00:00:22.720 --> 00:00:28.920
launch okay here we go so language English that will work out just fine for

00:00:27.080 --> 00:00:33.760
me but there's your language selections that you can choose from

00:00:31.679 --> 00:00:36.879
and I accept the license agreement which is it's actually not that long it's

00:00:35.640 --> 00:00:40.760
actually readable okay and then I put in a

00:00:38.920 --> 00:00:46.120
password so here we can see the password rules 6 to 16 characters long and

00:00:43.360 --> 00:00:50.280
contain at least three of the following uppercase

00:00:47.320 --> 00:00:55.000
lowercase digits and special characters wow okay well it happens that my

00:00:52.199 --> 00:00:59.079
personal favorite strong password uh already

00:00:56.640 --> 00:01:03.519
contains a bunch of different kinds of characters so I'm just typing it with my

00:01:00.719 --> 00:01:08.320
other hand here and uh so that should be just fine so my hint will be

00:01:06.759 --> 00:01:14.560
strong okay there we are I can wow I can put in

00:01:11.520 --> 00:01:17.759
my name okay so I'll put my name my

00:01:14.560 --> 00:01:20.400
company as most of you already know is

00:01:17.759 --> 00:01:28.000
NCIX and then details I don't really have any okay so go ahead and

00:01:24.000 --> 00:01:28.000
finish so it's formatting the

00:01:28.560 --> 00:01:34.479
drive we'll see see how long that takes

00:01:31.720 --> 00:01:42.119
hopefully not too long oh done okay so that was it

00:01:37.920 --> 00:01:44.360
so can we open the drive now oh yes we

00:01:42.119 --> 00:01:48.320
can okay so there I opened up uh another Explorer window and it's

00:01:46.640 --> 00:01:52.799
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

00:01:50.799 --> 00:01:58.960
large file like a say for example a video file and copy it over

00:01:54.960 --> 00:02:00.719
there so this is a 799 Meg file and I'll

00:01:58.960 --> 00:02:04.960
let you guys do the timing if you feel like it but we can see what Windows

00:02:02.799 --> 00:02:09.879
reports as the speed which isn't actually too bad for uh just a normal

00:02:08.000 --> 00:02:13.400
USB flash drive some of the Quad Channel ones will do up to about 25 megabytes

00:02:11.680 --> 00:02:18.360
per second so I assume this one's a dual channel

00:02:15.680 --> 00:02:21.879
one this should be done fairly shortly I guess I could have chosen a smaller

00:02:19.599 --> 00:02:25.879
video file if I really wanted to uh anyway the advantage that you get with

00:02:23.280 --> 00:02:30.080
the locker plus is that you have the data encryption so what I'm going to do

00:02:28.360 --> 00:02:33.720
is once this file is on the drive I'm going to take it out put it back in the

00:02:31.959 --> 00:02:37.280
computer and then we'll see the little prompt where it should ask for a

00:02:35.400 --> 00:02:39.440
password before I can actually access the

00:02:42.760 --> 00:02:46.440
drive that's cool I'm

00:02:53.720 --> 00:02:57.159
patient almost

00:02:58.480 --> 00:03:03.239
done and then there we go so the file is

00:03:01.599 --> 00:03:08.360
copied so I'm going to go ahead and pull it out of the computer

00:03:04.959 --> 00:03:10.760
now if I can find it there it is okay we

00:03:08.360 --> 00:03:14.519
have removed it now let's try again plug it

00:03:11.440 --> 00:03:17.400
in and let's see what

00:03:14.519 --> 00:03:25.440
happens here we go so can I just open a folder to view the oh no I cannot so I

00:03:22.840 --> 00:03:31.239
have to actually run the the auto run okay open autoplay run the launcher so

00:03:29.120 --> 00:03:38.519
now hopefully it'll give me a choice to just put in the password and

00:03:34.920 --> 00:03:38.519
access the data yeah there we

00:03:38.560 --> 00:03:45.239
go I've never actually used an encrypted USB before okay there's my hint so I can

00:03:43.480 --> 00:03:52.200
log in and there we go there's my data so if

00:03:48.159 --> 00:03:54.799
I copy this into here uh yeah copy and

00:03:52.200 --> 00:03:57.840
replace we can see how quickly we can read off the drive so you can see the

00:03:56.319 --> 00:04:01.239
reads are quite a bit faster than the rights

00:03:59.840 --> 00:04:07.760
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

00:04:05.959 --> 00:04:11.560
I'm giving it every Advantage here to prove its best case scenario but there

00:04:09.400 --> 00:04:17.079
you have it there's our little uh setup guide and test of the Kingston 16 gig

00:04:14.640 --> 00:04:20.639
data traveler locker plus don't forget to subscribe to Linus Tech tips and I

00:04:19.359 --> 00:04:25.639
have a question for you if you want to leave a comment under the video tell me

00:04:22.680 --> 00:04:31.360
what you would use an encrypted USB thumb drive for and the winner of

00:04:28.720 --> 00:04:35.080
whoever I think has the best or funniest or most appropriate or I don't know it's

00:04:33.840 --> 00:04:41.400
going to be arbitrary but I'm going to pick one winner and they will win a 16

00:04:38.080 --> 00:04:45.759
gig data traveler locker plus so that's

00:04:41.400 --> 00:04:45.759
pretty cool right leave a comment
