Are any of these flash drives password protected?

I have one of these and there is no security software included. It is just a raw storage device.

Not sure what you are asking. Can you use encryption software to protect your data? Yes. Does it have hardware encryption built-in? No. It's just a USB flash drive.

No they are not. I suppose you could encrypt the files on your own if you wanted to

I have not used them in this way. I do know that the computer views the device as a floppy after you partition the flash drive. I would think it would, but I cannot be 100% sure. Hope that helps.

Yes. You can encrypt the data on the drive. The Synology website has a step-by-step tutorial on the process: https://www.synology.com/en-global/knowledgebase/tutorials/455

No, does not need one. If you are running any Microsoft operating systems or Linux operating systems, they automatically recognize it and install it. To password protect your info on a Kingston Digital 32 GB Data thumbdrive, download free software that allows you to password any drives, large or small. It is available on the internet every day. I keep 6 of my little Kingston drives in small cases available on Amazon and they can be put away to keep nosy folks out of them.....

No, when I plug the thumb drive in it just opened up so that I would be able to view files. There was no need for me to enter a password if that is what you mean. Not sure if you're able to create a password if you wanted to though.

The flash drive is not write protected and you can add and delete files easily using Windows Explorer.

I didn't find any security software on the drive and didn't have any problems copying any data to the drive. if you are having problems transferring data to the drive I suggest contacting Mushkin.

I have been able to delete and add files to this - and add to files I had stored before. I don't think there's a way to write-protect it. If there is, it's hidden somewhere! These are great for carrying photos to someone else's computer, and then adding their photos to it as well. HTH

All flash drives are bootable as long as you write the bootable image into it using software such as UltraISO, etc.

I use it on Mac and windows. it is best to "eject" the flash drive before removing it in order to prevent data corruption. you shouldn't have a problem safely removing the drive while the computer is on

As long as I have been around computers, I don't know what "a write protected software" is. It has some basic protections for who accesses the folders, password protection and such, but I'm not sure if that's what you mean. I have not formatted the drive, it worked fine out of the box. Do take note of the few people who complained of the interior of the drive pulling out of the aluminum casing. That has not happened to me, but I thought I'd pass it along. Sorry I can't be of more help with the question... Maybe if you restate it we can help. :)

I have a few external hard drives and tried 2 of them. One is a much older 80GB drive that is not password protected...the Denon detected it and I was able to scroll through the various folders and play any music I wanted. I also connected a much newer Seagate 500GB harddrive that is password protected and has to be unlocked; the Denon was unable to detect it (probably due the the drivers required to run it) and the display said "No Connection".

I have full drive encryption on mine using TrueCrypt and have no problems at all. Just don't try to flash the drives firmware from inside Windows, because it will fail and you will damage your master boot record. It was easily fixable with the TrueCrypt rescue disk, but it was scary at first. When you want to flash the firmware on the drive, select the option to create a bootable CD.

No. The Kingston will be reformatted. You will be guided to set a new password, then can upload data. From their website: "The drive locks down and reformats after 10 failed login attempts, so users can rest assured their data is safe even if the drive is lost or stolen." "Secure - drive locks down and reformats after 10 invalid login attempts "

The most reliable way software is probably TrueCrypt. It is for free and also open source which is a security plus. Their site has instructions on how to use it for a usb drive.

i don't think so. these boxes are pretty small. they are about 1x2 inches i believe. i use them from stud earrings as gifts during christmas so i don't have any of the boxes left, but my opinon, the boxes are to small for a flash drive. be sure to ask for the box sizes that was my mistake. hope this helps.

Hey William: Kingston gives the following compatibility from their website: Windows 8.1, Windows 8, Windows 7 (SP1), Windows Vista (SP2), Mac OS v.10.6.x-10.9.x (USB 3.0 connectivity requires a USB 3.0 port). The reason would be the on-board software controlling the encryption incompatibility with the Google proprietary operating system. So, Sandisk has been advertising flash drives that are compatible with Chromebooks, but no encryption. My guidance is we are ways off before encryption software will be compatible with Android and Chromebooks (it is a numbers game unfortunately). Use a non-encrypted flash drive to get your data off the system and transfer it to a Win or Apple system that can access an encrypted storage solution. Thanks for your question and apologies for the bad news. My Best Regards, Jack
