Manufacturer description

The Kingston DataTraveler Locker+ G3 is a 16GB USB 3.0 flash drive built for people who carry files they cannot afford to lose or leak. Hardware-based encryption and user-set password protection lock the drive down, so a misplaced key-ring drive does not become a data breach. Kingston pairs that with ClevX USB to Cloud, an automatic backup option that mirrors your drive contents to your own cloud account on Windows and Mac, giving you a second copy if the drive itself goes missing. The 16GB capacity handles documents, photo sets, music libraries, and project archives, and the USB 3.0…

SpecPicks Verdict

SpecPicks scored Kingston Digital 16GB Data Traveler Locker + G3 using a rating × review-volume × price-fit model applied to published specs and reviews across the external storage category. Kingston's external storage lineup sits within the broader category mid-tier; price and specs are the deciding factors over brand loyalty here. Judge it on the specification table and the price rather than on sentiment: check the figures that decide your use case, then put it side-by-side with two or three close alternatives in the Compare tool before clicking through.

Common buyer scenarios for external storage of this kind: matching it to an existing build, replacing a failing part, or upgrading from a previous-generation equivalent. Check the spec table below against your current setup — particularly socket / form-factor / power-rating fields — and confirm compatibility on the retailer's listing before purchase.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much can I actually fit on the 16GB version?

16GB holds documents, spreadsheets, photo sets, and music libraries comfortably. Kingston positions it for transferring multiple files at once or single large files over USB 3.0, but 16GB is tight for long video projects.

Does this Kingston drive work on both Mac and Windows?

Yes. Kingston lists the drive as working interchangeably between Mac OS X and Windows systems. The stated support covers Windows 7 SP1, 8, 8.1, and 10, plus macOS 10.9.x through 10.12.x.

What happens if I lose the drive?

The DataTraveler Locker+ G3 uses hardware encryption and a user-set password to prevent unauthorized access. If you enabled the ClevX USB to Cloud backup, your files also exist in your cloud account.

How does the automatic cloud backup work?

Kingston bundles ClevX USB to Cloud, an optional backup that mirrors your drive contents so you can reach your data anytime on Windows and Mac. You link it to your own cloud storage account; it is opt-in, not required.

Is it durable enough to keep on my keys?

It is designed for it. The drive has a durable metal casing and a built-in key loop for attaching to a key ring.
