There is no value in utilizing this flash drive with hardware encryption because it could stop operating at any time, rendering all of the data on it permanently unrecoverable. The pluses: There is no additional software that must be downloaded and installed on the computer. The downsides are: The Kingston Technical Support Service, which does not even have service locations in 2022 and can only give exchange under warranty, confirms that the data on the flash drive is permanently destroyed and that there is no way to restore them.
