Can you disable the "self destruct" feature?

No. The Kingston will be reformatted. You will be guided to set a new password, then can upload data. From their website: "The drive locks down and reformats after 10 failed login attempts, so users can rest assured their data is safe even if the drive is lost or stolen." "Secure - drive locks down and reformats after 10 invalid login attempts "

I can confirm that it is possible to disable the self destruct feature. This is accomplished by accessing the drive through the Start button, Double clicking the Icon and pressing up, up, down, down, left, right, left, right, start, select, A, B, A, B, B. Self-destruct will still be enabled but you should now have unlimited lives.

I honestly think that they are programmed to self destruct after that period of time. Mine did the same thing. I tossed it. After starting with a $50 model from Best Buy which fell apart, then moving to this model which was a little more affordable but self-destructed, I eventually move to a $14 model that I have been using for the last year with no problems!

The only way to disable it is to have it on the off position.. hope that helps

No. You have to press stop to turn off functions prior to their timing off.

I hope someone will answer with how to because I've tried and can't find out how to do it. All I could find was deleting individually

There is an on-off switch on the side. It will also turn itself off automatically after a few minutes.

I found nothing in the manual about turning it off. They list the following number for questions 1-800-955-0959 in the manual.

It doesn't turn off automatically, if that's what you mean. Regardless, it's no good. Keys pooped out, and the "adhesive" tore. I returned it.

Safely remove hardware doesn't actually do anything, it only checks to make sure no files are still being transferred before saying "okay to remove hardware." Therefore it's fine to just turn them off.

I had not used this feature, but just tried it and it appears that it can be stopped and started again where I left off. Simple to do just using the start/stop button. Thanks

It turns itself off after a few minutes of no activity. But you can also choose OFF as one of the options under the MENU. You have to scroll up or down to see that option, but it's there. And that turns it off immediately.

you can disengage it through the rightmost button underneath the display or through the menus.

No, without disconnecting from the system. The IOSD is a dedicated system, removing it's power source or it's video output would be your only option.

It is not necessary. Just eject the icon like you would any usb jump drive to safely turn off the drive.
