DataLocker, a global leader in encrypted storage solutions, introduces DL GO, a secure and easy-to-use encrypted USB flash drive, alongside MySafeConsole, a lightweight cloud console that gives individuals and small teams centralized control—without enterprise cost.

DL GO safeguards data with AES-256 XTS (FIPS 197) hardware encryption and fast, familiar biometrics on both major platforms—Windows Hello (Windows) and Touch ID (macOS)—with no drivers required. It works online or offline, and can be enrolled into MySafeConsole (individual/SMB) or tied to SafeConsole (enterprise) when centralized management is needed.

DL GO: Automatic Encryption with Seamless Authentication

The DL GO secure USB flash drive delivers enterprise-grade encryption and frictionless sign-in—without the price premium. Built on DataLocker’s vetted, transparent supply chain, DL GO avoids the compromises common in ultra-low-cost drives. While many budget devices rely on commodity encryption chips sourced from China, DL GO uses non-Chinese encryption chips and traceable component sourcing to mitigate supply-chain and compliance risk—so you get strong security at a sensible cost.

A certified high-speed USB 4.0 cable is included to ensure maximum performance out of the box.

SK hynix Inc. announced today that it has completed development of its 321-layer 2Tb QLC NAND flash product and has begun mass production. This achievement marks the world’s first implementation of more than 300 layers using QLC technology, setting a new benchmark in NAND density. The company plans to release the product in the first half of next year following completion of global customer validation.

To maximize the cost competitiveness of its new product, SK hynix developed a 2Tb device with double the capacity of existing solutions. To address potential performance degradation in large-capacity NAND, the company increased the number of planes, independent operation units within a chip, from 4 to 6. This enables greater parallel processing and significantly enhances simultaneous read performance.
