Secure Usb Drive For Mac

You don't have enough access privileges for this operation itunes mac. Earlier this month, and pitted them against each other in our first comparison of portable flash media. The results were surprising. We found that while many drives offered competitive read performance, the vast majority of them performed absolutely abysmally when it came to write performance.

Mac Flash drive data retrieval program provides facility to rescue and restore deleted data from pen drive that lost due to human error. Encrypt-Stick software converts your USB flash drive into a personal vault and the key to access and secure your private files. IronKey™ delivers secure portable data storage solutions, including hardware-encrypted USB flash drives and external hard drives, for your mission-critical mobile workforce and the invaluable data they carry.

All flash drives are not created equal, however, and we noted that many drives made use of premium controllers that resulted in not only high read speeds, but very high write speeds as well. At the end of the day, Kingston and Lexar both walked away with an Editor's Choice award for absolutely stellar performance among the competition. Kingston's DataTraveler Elite and Lexar's JumpDrive Lightning both offered some of the fastest read speeds and consistently high write speeds as well, while the competition generally stumbled in one or both categories. Unfortunately, despite the fact that the winners were clear, they were also the most expensive drives out of the roundup. At 512MB, the Kingston DataTraveler Elite was only around $10 more expensive than the next class of USB drives, but at 1GB, that gap jumped to at least $20. The award winners were also some of the bulkiest drives out there, so although they offered the best performance, they did have some noticeable drawbacks.

The very day that our first USB flash drive roundup was complete, Lexar released a new version of one of their USB flash drives, the JumpDrive Secure. Its successor, called the JumpDrive Secure II, promised better performance, a smaller form factor and, as its name implies, improved security software. One of our biggest complaints in the first roundup was that while some drives offered added security through drive encryption, not a single one of the drives supported anything other than Windows XP when using their security software. Lexar has now addressed that complaint as the JumpDrive Secure II's encryption software now supports both Windows XP and OS X. So today, we add to our growing database of USB flash drive devices with Lexar's JumpDrive Secure II.

Before proceeding with this review, we highly recommend at least reading the first few pages of our initial in order to get acquainted with what makes these drives tick and how we test them.

Then I found out I couldn't actually count on 30 getting any of the stuff out of the secure area. I looked around on the web and 40 I found a huge number of complaints about that Gen. 1 secure drive. How to change language in google chrome. It appears that 50 the chip that deals with the security matters isn't very stable.

Some say all they 60 did was drop it on the kitchen table when they got home and never got into it again. 70 All of them hated it. I reformatted mine and did not allocate any space to the 80 secure area, and it has been fine since then. Other than the fact that it is too fat 90 to fit into most laptop USB ports, the security system lost all my data, and the cap 100 broke in my pocket, it was a great drive.

Had it for almost 6 months. Then I got a 110 real one. I will not be buying another Lexar USB drive, Gen.

Once bitten 120 twice shy. • - Friday, October 21, 2005 - Their secure software dialogs look soo ugly on XP, and much much better on OSX. This is what happens when you hire junior Mac programmer to do a rush job in XP.

Apple's own software is even worse, just try QuickTime for Windows. I consider this a serious mistake - they should have hired a decent XP developer and do a proper XP GUI, and something ugly for Mac (if the developer turns out to be the same moron as this Mac guy who did XP GUI), given the sizes of the user base here and there that would be much wiser thing to do. Why sell Hyundai and piss off Toyota owners, why don't you do the reverse?;-) That'll hurt your pocket not as much, won't it?
