Format and
Security:
If you are one of those persons
who often transport very sensitive data, which shouldn't be accessible by any
person who finds the drive after or before you lost it, this drive offers a very
easy and fast way to create a secure and save area on the drive. For this
purpose, there is no more to do than to open the, preferably before on the hard
disc saved, USB Flash Disk Format Tool.
Once opened, the tool offers us
the following functions.
- Partition
- Security
- Configuration
A simple click onto the Start
Format button would quick format the drive without the creation of a secure
area. To enable this feature we need to switch to the Security Tab and set a
password.
Once the password is set, we can
switch back to the partition tab and define the secure area. The size of the
secure area can be set to almost every possible value. There is just a minimum
of 3 MB that needs to be left as public area.
Back on the Partition tab, all we
need to do is to hit the Start Format button. After a few seconds the stick is
formatted and the secure area is set. Now the secure area can be accessed by the
use of the USB Flash Disk Login Tool, which has been created in the public area
of the drive.
After the input of the password
and clicking onto the Unlock button the secure area is accessible and we can put
our 'sensitive" data into it. Now a small icon in the task bar indicates us that
secure mode is enabled.
After finishing our work in the
save area, we can easily lock the drive by just right clicking onto the icon and
selecting close.
The tab we left out until now is
the Configuration tab, this one is nothing special, here we can just define if
we want a quick or a full format of the drive. Please note that a full format is
not possible when you want to create a secure area on the
drive.
Alternatively, the entire drive
can be formatted by the use of the in Windows integrated tool too, but here it's
not possible to create a secure area on the drive.
Now let's continue with testing the drives performance…………
