Encrypted Boot Using Usb Flash Drive Key

Using it currently to backup my macbook pro. You need to remember to flash it for encrypted APFS, but other than that it works perfectly as intended. It's fast enough for backups, maybe a tad bit slow for large sized media transfers. For 5TB you can't find a better / safer deal. Customer service is to die for.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This usb drive has encrypted security which is very useful when you have something private to save. It can be locked with password for security. However, I would be very careful as forgetting the password may lead to losing the data stored. It looks pretty too, I carry it in my keychain all the time.

I got the Kingston D500S 256GB Ironkey USB drive to back up my critical files, and this is by far the best encrypted drive on the market! I use both Mac and Windows, and I love how the software is built into this USB drive so I don't have to install extra apps, etc.

I went with the same type & brand as my other HD. Using this as my boot drive. So far so good.

Update can be done without old CPU with USB flash drive only.

We are using a flash drive to store and playback videos on a portable projector. I tried with a USB 3.0 Flash Drive, thinking the newer version was better. But the projector had a different idea. I learned from the professionals at B+H that this unit requires an older USB 2.0 Flash Drive. I never would have thought of that but sure enough, when I used this Verbatim 64G Ergo USB 2.0, the projector recognized the videos and played them flawlessly.

Easy to use and durable USB flash drive

I use this enclosure with a 2015 5K iMac in lieu with a 750GB Crucial SSD, as a boot drive over USB 3. The speed is great, about 2.5x faster than the internal 7200 rpm regular HDD (but that also depends on the SSD type, it's not even the fastest kind). I have also used it for a while with a 2010 27 iMac, also as a boot drive but over FireWire 800 (as that model only has a slower yet USB 2), and the speed gain was fascinating, there was no need to crack open the machine and put the SSD inside (as was originally planned). The product itself is very nicely built and easy to assemble. Somewhat thicker than other similar enclosures I have, but not by much. The included faux leather pouch is quite fancy too!

This little USB drive is used to house a portable Windows 11 Pro system. Can be used to boot up any system such as in hotel bussiness center or library. The metal case protects it from being in a pocket or bag every day plus helps with heat dissipation.

PC or laptop will not boot due to faulty hardware? No problem - your data will not be lost. The 2.5/3.5" drive docking station connects to your PC / laptop and loads the hard drive as another drive so you access your coveted data! Connecting by usb or esata the transfer speeds do not disappoint. If there was a way to have the docking station powered over a usb cable without needing the power adapter that would be the only change I would make to this device. I received this product in exchange for an unbiased review.
