Apart from the fact that the Kingston DataTraveler 5000 comes in 2GB, 4GB, 8GB and 16GB capacities, this is no ordinary USB flash drive. It comes with a built-in 256-bit AES hardware-based encryption. In the unlikely event that you lose your USB flash drive, it would take ages to crack your data. How hard could it be?  For starters, the flash drive is FIPS 140-2 Level 2 certified with Level 3 pending, featuring XTS cipher mode and elliptic curve cryptography (ECC) algorithms, all approved up to Suite B standards by the U.S. government. I have no idea what I just said, all I know is that your USB flash drive’s data is secure in the hands of the DataTraveler 5000. They’re priced at $111 for 2GB,  $185 for 4GB, $231 for 8GB and $400 for 16GB capacities.
