Kingston's new USB flash drive features on-board encryption and password protection that causes the device to wipe itself after 25 failed attempts. The DataTraveler Elite (DTE) Privacy Edition is like the company's previous USB flash drives, but has on-the-fly 128-bit AES encryption. In addition, users can set a password, which if guess incorrectly will basically nuke the data portion of the drive.

The DataTraveler Elite Privacy Edition will come in various capacities from 256 MB all the way up to 4 GB. Kingston says the drive can read data at up to 24 MB per second, while writes happen at up to 14 MB per second.
