question
are any of you using Encrypted USB Sticks ?
which once - suggestions and tips please :rolleyes:

There is a listing here on
https://www.kingston.com/us/usb/encrypted_security
Ironkey/DataTraveller/... and the likes, was hoping for some 'pro' opinions

i am looking for something simple , USB stick with password pretty much
(do not care too much if 1000% encrypted)
i am now on regular USB sticks (with encrypted files) but feel i want 1 extra step of security
Tx

Edit:
i have a TREZOR already running - this is more for general Data and such

What's the advantage of those over a standard USB stick configured as a Veracrypt encrypted volume?

After first setup and encrypt, you can use it without special software or driver, USB stick holds everything in itself.
Available in Standard, Managed and Anti-Virus models

Kingston’s DataTraveler® Vault Privacy 3.0 USB Flash drive provides affordable business-grade security with 256-bit AES hardware-based encryption in XTS mode. It protects 100 percent of data stored and enforces complex password protection with minimum characteristics to prevent unauthorized access. For additional peace of mind, the drive locks down and reformats after 10 intrusion attempts. It also features a read-only access mode (enabled via SafeConsole for the Managed model) to avoid potential malware risks.

Yes, plug in the stick, then it asks your password to decrypt and done, decrypted partition is ready to use.
Internet have lots of reviews also about this stick, just google if you want to see it.

Just remember, after 10 failed password attempt, stick formats it self for security and hack attempt, then you have a blank stick.

Edit 2: Note: DataTraveler Vault Privacy 3.0 Anti-Virus is not compatible with Mac OS or Linux.
