I used this flash drive 4 a while & found it too slow & finger scan too unreliable. For some reasons finger scan is very flaky, sometimes it takes many swipes until it scans at least one of the fingers successfully. So very often I have 2 resort typing a password instead in popup window. If that's the case I'd rather use a software solution, like cryptosidekick, 2 make a secure vault out of any flash, which would be also significantly faster. This particular drive is extra slow, who knows why, it doesn't seem 2 do strong encryption, in fact, there is no information if it's secure at all. And the last thing, it doesn't work with Windows Vista, it shows unsecure partition, & that's it.

CAUTION: I LOST ALL MY INFORMATION, FUI ATACADO POR UN VIRUS TROYANO
SE DAÑARON TODOS LOS ARCHIVOS INCLUSO LOS INSTALADOS DE FABRICA.
NO SOLO SE PIERDE LA INFORMACION SI NO TAMBIEN EL DISPOSITIVO QUEDA INSERVIBLE
Rating: 2 of 5 Nice idea, but really only useful as a regular flash drive
I should not expect a whole lot 4 the price, & what I got was a good flash drive but not much of a useful security feature. The thumb or finger print scan feature just has not been reliable. But it is a good flash drive 4 a low price.
For security features, however, it just doesn't compare with my IronKey flash drives that I also purchased through Amazon. Cost a bit more, but very, very dependable features & reliable drives.
Rating: 1 of 5 good idea crippled by poor software & support
The fingerprint scanner idea is great but the supporting software is poorly implemented. It wants 2 save all passwords you type in in a 'vault' so it can later auto-enter them 4 you. Unfortunately, password saving doesn't play nice with several pieces of software I run; Microsoft Money & Password Safe 4 example. With these two particular pieces of software, it 'hijacks' the screen & won't let me type in the password. Emails 2 Transcend asking how 2 disable the password saving went unanswered. Fingerprint scanner is somewhat difficult 2 use; I had 2 scan my finger multiple times 2 get it 2 take, although I suspect my technique would have improved with time. Drive is very fast reading/writing data.
Rating: 5 of 5 IT'S A VERY GOOD MEMORY
It is the best memory i have ever had 2 protect your files.
It's simple 2 use, & accurate.
I recommend it, if you need 2 encript your data.
Swipe your finger 2 access secure data or automatically log on 2 membership websites. Protect your private e-documents with the fingerprints of up 2 ten trusted members. Biometric technology means data access is as personalized as you are unique.
