Customer Reviews

extremely versatile with great "add ons"
1)What has not been mentioned is the free USB extension cable which means with those usb ports too close together allows better access.
2)I have downloaded the free encryption software 256 bit AES onto the flash so I can encrypt individual items. (you should be aware that if you encrypt the whole flash drive you cannot use it on another device UNLESS the software is on that device also. SO THE FLASH DRIVE IS LOCKED! AND YOU WILL NOT HAVE ACCESS TO ANY FILES READ OR WRITE.
3)The flash drive can be used as a "key" to the pc when you remove the flash you lock the pc without switching it off.
4) A pdf is included that shows all the features of encryption
5 Whilst it does not have a neck strap it caters for one. So you can attach a small key holder ring to the cap (and remove the body cap on neck strap )
or super secure attach 2 small key holder rings to BOTH cap & body. A small key chain is attached to the body key holder ring which passes through the key holder ring and then to your neck strap.

BODY, KEY HOLDER RING, KEYCHAIN, ARE LINK-LINK-LINK AND CHAIN PASSES THROUGH CAP KEY HOLDER. then neck strap.

There are not that many usb flash that offer encryption at that level so if you want total security then this is it or just secure personal data.

Cheap ,Fast -needs care when removing
I have one and I have found it to be very fast. There seems to be a problem when windows crashes, it can develop a "media is protected" fault. Amazon have replaced it once and it has happened to my second one ( they offered to replace the 2nd one and pay postage too :). I have found a low level format can resolve this problem I recommend you disconnect it safely from the taskmanager.

Amazing capacity and speed
I'm using this to transfer .avi files to play on a "Philips DVP5160 - Multi-region capable DVD Player With Proggresive Scan & Divx". Works perfectly and fast.
