A-data FP1 Fingerprint Secured Flash Drive
Monday, April 24th, 2006 | Reviews, USB Removable Drives
Flash drives have become popular because of their small size, fairly high capactiy and robustness. However, they are also easy to get stolen or get lost.
To stop others from seeing your private data when they shouldn’t A-data have introduced a fingerprint sensor which makes the drive inaccessible for anyone but those whose fingerprints have been verified.
The drive itself comes with proprietary software loaded onto the disk that gets loaded when the disk is plugged in. It requires you to put your fingerprint on the the sensor to unlock it. It does support more than one users fingerprint and has a backup password system just in case.
This all allows the disk to be pretty secure, although someone could probably get a hold of your information if they were diligent enough.
However, this solution is very good and gives you peace of mind when travelling with your private information. PS. remember to keep backups because even if they can’t hack into it, you still won’t have your data anymore.
The biggest nag is that it will ONLY work in Windows. Other operating systems, you’ll see nothing on the disk.
Some of the other features:
- Sweep-type fingerprint sensor
- USB 2.0 connection
- Software pre-installed
- No special drives needed for fingerprint system
