DataLocker K350 16 GB Encrypted USB Drive — Ultimate Portable Security

DataLocker means “Simply Secure”—and the Sentry K350 lives up to that promise with an uncompromising blend of hardware-based security and rugged durability. In a market saturated with fragile USB drives, the K350 rises above the noise as a purpose-built, FIPS-validated security device that behaves like a trusted vault in your pocket. It is designed for professionals who handle sensitive information across devices and environments, from busy corporate offices to remote field operations. With 16 GB of encrypted storage, it keeps your data protected at rest, while its sturdy construction and flexible management capabilities ensure you stay in control no matter where work takes you. The K350 is engineered to resist the bumps, drops, and dust of real-life use, yet remains incredibly easy to deploy in everyday workflows. If you need more than just a USB drive—if you require proven security that integrates with enterprise policies—this is the solution you want.

• Military-grade durability in a compact form — The Sentry K350 is built to withstand the rigors of daily travel and challenging environments. Its rugged, precision-machined enclosure provides robust resistance to drops and shock, while protective finishes guard against scratches and wear. The design emphasizes reliability under pressure, so you can rely on it in the field, on business trips, or in high-traffic office environments. A compact footprint means it travels discreetly in a pocket or bag, yet its sturdy construction communicates that safety and security are the top priorities. This isn’t a fragile gadget; it’s a dependable storage device built to endure so you don’t have to worry about data protection during transit.
• Hardware-based encryption for real data protection — At the heart of the K350 is a hardware-encrypted controller that secures data at rest with AES-256 encryption. Unlike software-based solutions, the keys never leave the device, and there is no reliance on the host computer to maintain security. This means even if the USB drive is connected to an infected machine, your information remains inaccessible without the correct authentication. The hardware encryption ensures consistent performance while delivering strong protection against data breaches, insider threats, and accidental exposure. It also supports seamless data transfer rates appropriate for typical business documents, project files, and sensitive datasets without sacrificing security for convenience.
• FIPS 140-2 Level 3 validation for enterprise-grade trust — The K350 meets one of the most rigorous security standards for cryptographic modules. FIPS 140-2 Level 3 validation verifies the design and implementation of the encryption module, including tamper-evident features, secure key handling, and validated cryptographic algorithms. This level of certification provides assurance to organizations that require compliance with government, healthcare, financial, and defense-related data protection requirements. With FIPS validation, you can demonstrate due diligence in safeguarding sensitive information and fulfill regulatory expectations without sacrificing usability or portability.
• PIN-based access control and user-centric security — Access to data on the K350 is controlled by a user authentication mechanism, typically driven by a Personal Identification Number (PIN). This means data remains locked and inaccessible until the correct PIN is provided, creating a barrier against unauthorized use even if the drive is lost or stolen. The on-device authentication approach reduces the risk of credential leakage and supports a straightforward, user-focused security workflow. For organizations with centralized security policies, SafeConsole integration offers additional management options, enabling policy enforcement and streamlined administration across deployed drives.
• Enterprise-ready manageability with SafeConsole (optional) — The K350 is designed to work with SafeConsole for centralized administration. When enabled, SafeConsole provides policy enforcement, remote management, auditing, and reporting capabilities that help IT teams maintain control over distributed drives. This integration supports things like secure provisioning, password and PIN policies, event logging, and remote actions. Whether you’re safeguarding a handful of devices or thousands across multiple sites, SafeConsole helps standardize security configurations, simplify compliance reporting, and reduce operational overhead while maintaining strict data protection standards.

Beyond the core security features, the DataLocker K350 combines practical usability with comprehensive protection. Its compact 16 GB capacity is ideal for securely transporting essential documents, project files, contracts, or client data while ensuring that sensitive information remains inaccessible to unauthorized eyes. The device is designed to work with mainstream operating systems and standard USB interfaces, making it a convenient fit in corporate environments, government offices, and private sector settings where data integrity and control are paramount. The K350’s design philosophy centers on “security without complexity,” delivering strong cryptographic protection, reliable physical durability, and straightforward access control so you can focus on your work rather than worrying about data security.

How to install DataLocker K350 16 GB Encrypted USB Drive

• 1. Insert the DataLocker K350 into a free USB port on your computer. Allow the operating system to recognize the device; if prompted to format, choose not to format the drive to preserve the hardware encryption and pre-configured security features.
• 2. When the device is connected, initiate unlocking by entering your PIN on the device (or through SafeConsole if your organization has enabled centralized management). This step decrypts the data channel and allows access to protected files and folders.
• 3. If you are provisioning for an organization with SafeConsole, follow your IT administrator’s instructions to enroll the drive in SafeConsole. This typically involves selecting the device, applying the organization’s security policy, and enabling any required PIN standards or lockout settings.
• 4. Transfer files as needed. Copy sensitive documents, reports, or client data to the K350. Remember that all stored data remains encrypted on the device, and the hardware encryption protects your information even when the drive is not actively in use.
• 5. When you’re finished using the drive, eject it safely from the operating system. If SafeConsole management is enabled, ensure any remote wipe or policy updates have completed and then disconnect the drive from the host machine.

Frequently asked questions

• What makes the DataLocker K350 different from standard USB drives? The K350 combines hardware-based AES-256 encryption, FIPS 140-2 Level 3 validation, and a rugged, portable chassis. It is designed to protect data at rest even if the device is lost or stolen, and it offers optional centralized management via SafeConsole to enforce security policies across multiple drives.
• Is the K350 compatible with SafeConsole? Yes. The device is designed to be optionally manageable by SafeConsole, enabling centralized provisioning, policy enforcement, auditing, and remote administration for organizations that require scalable security controls.
• Which operating systems support the K350? The K350 supports major operating systems through standard USB interfaces, including Windows, macOS, and Linux. No specialized software is required for basic use, and hardware encryption remains active to protect data at rest.
• How does the device protect data if the drive is lost or stolen? Data remains encrypted at rest using hardware-based AES-256, and access requires the correct PIN. Without the PIN, the data on the drive remains unreadable, reducing the risk of data compromise in the event of loss or theft.
• Can I customize PIN policies or enforce security standards? When used with SafeConsole, administrators can enforce PIN policies, lockout rules, and other security settings to align with organizational requirements. Individual users manage their own PINs when not under SafeConsole control, following standard security best practices.
• Is the K350 a good option for fieldwork or travel? Absolutely. The combination of rugged durability, compact size, and strong encryption makes the K350 ideal for professionals who require secure data transport in dynamic environments, whether traveling between offices, customer sites, or remote locations.
