If I choose to create a secure linux boot drive off of this, will it still be encrypted and password protected?

Hi, I'm Jewel with Kingston Technical Support, here to address your question. The DTLPG3 encrypted secure flash drive is hardware encrypted and cannot be altered. The security program that runs in Windows or Mac that allows you access to the data partition on the drive is placed on a Read-Only partition. As such it cannot be formatted/removed so the drive would not be capable of being made into a linux boot drive. For any further assistance, please call us at 1-800-435-0640 (USA and Canada only) M - F 6am - 6pm PT and I or another available Technician will assist you. Thank you for selecting Kingston as your upgrade partner.

Hi Jun,Yes I have... and erased it very quickly!Here's what happened. I installed the programme as instructed. It worked beautifully... until I tried to start up one day and my PC replied it had to do something as apparently I had switched it off incorrectly... Usually this is quite harmless and windows starts up without any problems... but you've guessed it: not when the system has been crypted. After having tried everything, I had to use the Rescuedisk I had made to decrypt my laptop... which took a cool 26 hours!So... I have been cured and removed TrueCrypt as soon as the laptop worked again! Hi Jun,Yes I have... and erased it very quickly!Here's what happened. I installed the programme as instructed.

You'll need to be more specific in order to get a valid answer, but here is an answer based on the info on your question: Maybe. If it's a standard SATA drive with no encryption then you should be able to get the info. Is something wrong with the new drive?

Nope, Ubuntu is pretty secure and without administrator password you simply have to reinstall Ubuntu on that machine. Anyway since you do not have any data of yours yet you don't have to worry about backing out up. Get a USB powered CD/DVD drive, download and burn a free latest Ubuntu version, it is pretty simple and the actual installation should not take any more than 15 mins.

No. If you want to encrypt files i suggest axcrypt and for a drive trucrypt. Both free.

The drive do not come with build in firmware encryption. It is like a regular fast speed SSD 512gb drive. I use a Windows 7 bit blocker and other encryption software.

I have two colleagues who attempted to use this same flash drive with Ubuntu and it did not work. This drive was issued to us given the need for encryption. Unfortunately, having a new mac and as I mentioned about my colleagues, it was of no use.

Not sure. I would suggest you to use a flash drive to install linux stuff instead.

Not as a standard option, the connections are but drives are not, if you are willing to access the Linus O/S then here is a link to consider: http://mybookworld.wikidot.com/encrypted-filesystem

I'm no guru, but should be no problem if the drive contains a boot disk. So your problem may be how to make one; search on line for that. Further, a friend told me that he set his boot priority (press F2 while booting) to use the external drive (USB stick for him), and that worked, but not after he removed the stick. When he replaced it the setting was no longer there. So you would have to marry the drive to the computer and never unplug it. (On my laptop I mount it with velcro strips.) This may help.

No. Once you unlock the flash drive with the password, it acts just like any other one. It's just for basic storage only.

Yes the laptop comes fully restore with operating system and the laptop will not have an administrator password. Because I won't create one. So after you get it then you can setup a password for yourself.

I encrypted mine. You need to set it up as GUID partition Table. Go into Disk Utility, select the drive, drop down From Partition Layout Current to Partitions 1 (you can rename it in the top right). Then select Options, and select GUID partition table. Please note that you will lose all data on the drive doing this, so back it up first, then you can copy it over once you have set up the drive for encryption. Once Disk Utility finishes, right click on the drive and you can encrypt the drive from the drop down options. FYI - It does reduce disk speed a bit.

I believe there is a password protection function that can be enabled, and the cable appears to be a standard A to Micro B USB 3.0. The cable it comes with is definitely very short-- my tower has a USB input at the top and the drive has to sit on top of the tower when I use it or it dangles off my desk.

With the encryption constantly enabled on this USB flash drive, I would think it would not work. Even with the Drive formatted, it would not work.

It will be picked up by your Internet automatically....anything you want secure you need to create acct with LaCie and then store your "secure" files in that folder it creates which is password protected.

I do not believe it will password protect a file (at least I can't figure out how).
