Transcend 4GB JETFLASH 220, finger print

It is an excellent product. The biometric protection is the best. I have only tried it along my personal computers & it works great, not sure how it works on admin protected computers.

The great thing is that you may protect not only your own files on the drive, but also you can protect files on your own pc. Another good feature is the partition tool so you may split the protected space & the unlocked space in order 2 not have 2 slide your finger everytime.

When my Sandisk Cruzer with fingerprint scanner started 2 fray after over a year of hard use I looked 4 a replacement that was larger, didn't have a cord between the scanner & the drive that could fray & was Vista compatible.

I need 2 be able 2 move proprietary research from my computers at home 2 my laboratory computer without worrying if someone can steal it. While I've never lost a flash drive, I like the biometrics as a good security feature & it makes the company bosses happy.

I got the proprietary software 2 run no problem, plopped the flashdrive into my computer at home, run run run, no problem.

Took the flashdrive 2 work & BOOM. No administrator rights on the computer (a common enough situation)=no access 2 data.

That makes this useless 4 me & I can't even give it 2 my so 2 use in the computer labs at his school.

Waste of money.

On the cruzer, you can run your finger even if the proprietary software doesn't display on the computer & access your data. On this...no dice. no admin, no data.

I have had this product 4 months & have yet 2 have any major problems with it. Software was easy 2 set up. It allows you 2 select which files require your fingerprint 2 open them: a nice extra layer of protection. Password storage is another plus.

I would have rated it 5 stars if it weren't 4 the fact that it occasionally does not recognize my fingerprint--particularly my thumb, 4 some reason. If you have trouble accessing the flash drive with your thumb, try another finger. Strangely, it seems 2 be less finicky with those.

Excellent product if you want a flash drive with more features than most at an affordable price. Highly recommended, especially if you frequently carry important/private data outside of your home & into more public places (an office, a coffeehouse, a college campus, etc.).

The (proprietary) software needed 2 access the content crashes, which makes the device useless.

Fingerprint scanner alone is ok.

This device could have been very useful 4 carrying sensitive data.
