This is also from the Kingston stable listed in the same family of products especially designed for government or state authorities like the BlackBox. It has the same look and feel as the BlackBox but was considerably lighter. It also featured the same security feature the BlackBox came with except that there was no FIPS certification on this drive. Other than this omission, the other feature like 256-bit AES encryption and automatic lockdown and reformatting in case of failed password attempts are there in this drive.

In the Speed and Performance test, it didn't fare that well coming in third behind the Sandisk Cruzer and BlackBox. And amazingly the price for this drive is much higher than the BlackBox, though we still can't figure out the reason behind this. It might be the case because it was assembled in the US. In the final list, it ranked third because of its tightly knitted security features but could have fared much better if the pricing was right.
