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 + utility takes just a moment to launch and then 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 ok 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 already contains a bunch of different kinds of characters so I'm just typing in my other hand here and so that should be just fine so my hint will be strong okay there we are I can blow 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 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 bah another Explorer window and it's giving me the option to have 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 report says the speed which isn't actually too bad for destroyed on 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 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 one patient almost done and there we go so the file is copied so I'm gonna go ahead and pull it out of the computer now 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 that oh no I cannot so I have to actually run the the autorun 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 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 writes bear in mind you're gonna get slower results if you're using a number of small files versus one large file so I'm giving it every advantage here to prove its best-case scenario but there you have it there's our little set-up guide and test of the Kingston 16 gig data traveler Locker plus don't forget to subscribe to - 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 gonna be arbitrary but I'm gonna pick one winner and they will win a 16 gig DataTraveler Locker plus so that's pretty cool right leave a comment
