Description

Encryption that does not depend on the computer

Encryption runs on the drive's own chip, not in software on the computer. Ten wrong user passwords in a row lock access, and ten wrong admin passwords crypto-erase the drive. A password can be 6–16 characters or a passphrase of 10–64 characters. Signed firmware guards against BadUSB attacks, a virtual keyboard against keyloggers, and read-only mode keeps malware off the drive on an untrusted computer.

Who this USB flash drive is for

Accountants, lawyers and doctors who carry personal data with them; small businesses where an administrator manages staff passwords locally; and anyone who would rather not put sensitive files into a cloud service.

Questions & answers

What happens if I forget the password?

If an admin password is set, the administrator can reset the user password or create a one-time recovery password. If that is forgotten too, the data stays inaccessible.

Does it work with Linux?

The manufacturer lists Windows 11 and 10 and macOS 12.x–15.x as supported. The manufacturer does not specify Linux support.

Is the drive waterproof?

Yes, it is IPX8 rated with the cap on. The drive must be clean and dry before you plug it in.
