It may seem like a given that personal data should be kept secure, and for the most part, achieving that goal on a home PC isn't too difficult. But, what about a thumb drive? Kingston's DataTraveler Locker+ is designed in such a way that if someone ever finds your thumb drive, they'll never be able to access the data. Ever.

"We have seen in our past testing that Kingston modules typically offer great performance, and we can tell you right now that this trend has not changed with this set of HyperX 4GB DDR3-1600 sticks on the test bench today. In fact, you will be shocked at how far these Kingston modules can be pushed. Without tipping our hand just yet, let's just say these sticks can run toe-to-toe with industry flagship 2133MHz modules with ease, and at less than half the price. How's that for special? Read on to find out just how far they go."

"The Kingston SSDNow V+ Series of SSDs performed nearly twice as fast as the original Kingston SSDNow V series and also happens to be available in larger capacities, which is key for the advancement of SSDs in the market. The Kingston SSDNow V+ was said to have sequential read speeds of up to 220MB/sec. and write speeds of up to 180MB/sec. We were able to come very close to those read speeds and were actually able to get slightly faster write speeds in some of the benchmarks. This is clearly a quick drive and performed on par with the Corsair P256 and OCZ Summit 120GB as both of those competitors' drives feature the same internal components..."

" This fan can be bought separately or comes bundled with Kingston?s 6 GB 2000MHz and 1800MHz triple channel memory kits with the T1 heat spreader is for Intel Core i7 systems. It is designed to cool triple channel memory configurations commonly found on Core i7 motherboards."

Kingston Technology is back with a new and improved version of their value series of SSDNow solid state drives called the V+ Series. While the original entry level SSDNow Value Series was a competent drive based on it's price point, it did suffer against faster foes based on its use of the infamous JMicron controller. Having said that, Kingston did a great job tweaking the controller and made it a great value for those who just had to have an SSD at a more entry level price.

"if you are into overclocking, the Kingston 2133MHz HyperX T1 memory kit (KHX2133C8D3T1K2/4GX) has got you covered. We were able to reach 2200MHz by just upping the base clock of the system. Reaching 2300MHz was as easy as setting primary timings to 9-9-9. With very little tweaking and minor voltage adjustments, we hit 2400MHz! Getting big numbers from this memory was extremely easy. This is by far, the fastest memory I've had the pleasure of testing. Sure, you can get higher bandwidth numbers on a Triple Channel X58 system, but in terms of raw MHz I haven't had anything else that can touch it!"

Every passing month sees solid-state drives (SSD) become slightly more affordable as the technology begins to mature and competition continues to increase.
At the start of September 2009 one should expect to pay around £100 for an entry-level 64GB drive, £125 for a performance model, and £200+ for a 128GB SSD.
The magic number is sub-£100, and that's where Kingston is aiming the SSDNow V-series drives - comprising of a 64GB SSD and either a notebook or desktop bundle.
We take a look at the value-oriented 64GB notebook kit and evaluate whether it's worth just a touch less than £100.

DDR3 has been out for a pretty long time already and even though a majority of enthusiasts currently run systems that utilize DDR3, the majority of systems are still running on DDR2. DDR2 is the mainstream technology and has a price point to match. The KHX8500D2T1K2/4G kit comes with brand new heat-spreaders and good performance for a 4GB DDR2 kit.

Today we're looking at the Kingston DataTraveler 64GB flash drive, and to prove or dispel the notion that high capacity drives are slow, we're going to pit it against a popular and fast, smaller capacity flash drive. Inspired by Newton's proof that heavier objects do not fall faster to the ground than lighter ones, we're not convinced that large capacity flash drives transfer files slower than smaller drives. So we put it to the test, and we think you may be quite surprised with the results.

In retrospect, the information that Louis had just received obviously was about the Nehalem. After seeing the improvements that the i7 has over the Core 2, I can fully understand his excitement. Today I will be looking at the result of Louis' excitement, Kingston's HyperX DDR3-2000 3GB Triple Channel kit. These memory modules sport beautiful new pin-fin heat spreaders and 9-9-9-27 timings at 1.65v. Will this Kingston kit carry my new i7 920 to glory? Read on to see!

As we continue down this path toward ultimate geekdom, we will get buried deeper and deeper in our gadgetry. It seems that every portable device that I have needs a different charger and a different memory card, so it helps when someone comes up with something a little more convenient. Marrying the functionality of a USB flash drive with a memory card reader is the DataTraveler Micro Reader from Kingston Technology. Convenience is great, but are you sacrificing something as a result? This review aims to answer this oh-so-pressing question.

2000MHz kit's for Intel's latest chipset are not exactly common place but we have managed to get hold of one such kit. Find out if extreme bandwidth is worth the cost...

Compared to more conventional heat spreaders, this HyperX T1 kit is much taller. You can see in the photos that there are plenty of ribs in the heat spreader to utilize every bit of airflow it can get. At 2000MHz, any extra cooling you can get is welcome to ensure that you maintain stability under an enormous load. Our kits today come set up with XMP, or Xtreme Memory Profile. By choosing one of the two XMP profiles in BIOS, your memory is automatically configured to run optimally on a Core i7 system. Our Kingston HyperX T1 kits have XMP profiles of either 1866MHz or 2000MHz...

With the floodgates of tri-channel products now opened, we're seeing many flagship products hit the market from all major memory manufacturers. One of those companies known for offering top-end enthusiast modules is Kingston Technology. Today we're looking at a set Kingston HyperX 3GB tri-channel DDR3-2000 modules, the fastest set of memory you can find on the market, capable of eye-watering performance in the triple channel setup.

I still remember when having a flash drive with only 256 megabytes was pretty darn impressive, but man alive, has the industry advanced since those days. Continuing with the trend of massive memory in a remarkably small package is the Kingston DataTraveler 150 USB flash drive, shown here in its 32GB incarnation. For people who really want to push the envelope, Kingston also sells this drive with a whopping 64GB of flash memory. Considering that some older laptops only have 80GB hard drives, I'd say that's pretty impressive.
