Unfortunately this unit does not have any security or write protection feature. If you receive a write protection message with this drive, check for the following:
Verify that you are allowed to write to removable storage devices. There may be a security setting in the OS that disables write access to removable storage devices.
Make sure you have not enabled write protection on the drive by using a third party software.
If none of the above apply, the drive may be defective. Contact Kingston Technical Support for further assistance.
