Integral 4GB Crypto-197 256-Bit 3.0 USB Flash Drive Encrypted - FIPS 197 Certified, Brute Force Password Attack Protection & Waterproof Double Layer Design

I have been using a Crypto flash drive for quite some time, and it has consistently proven to be an excellent choice for protecting passwords and other sensitive data. The reliability and security provided by these drives have made them my preferred solution for safeguarding important information. Recently, my current drive reached its storage capacity, prompting me to order an additional Crypto flash drive. Upon the arrival of the new drive, I noticed that it was missing two essential accessories: the key chain and the protective cap holder. The cap holder is particularly useful, as it provides a place to store the cap while the drive is in use. Both of these items are depicted on the product page on Amazon, which led me to expect their inclusion with my purchase. I returned the first drive due to the missing accessories and placed a second order. Unfortunately, when the replacement arrived, I found that it too was missing both the key chain and the protective cap holder. This repeated issue has left me feeling disappointed and uncertain about how to proceed. Given that the second order also arrived incomplete, I am hesitant to initiate another return and replacement process. I hope this explanation clarifies my current predicament. Respectfully, MV

I only planned to put one file on this flash drive and that file has my passwords. So, I looked for smallest encrypted drive I could find and this fit the bill. Plugged it in and got a prompt to run the EXE file, which I did. Entered password and I was good to go. It has a rubberized case which seems pretty tough. It has a thick rubberized cap which fits tightly and I will probably end up losing, but that is on me, not the product. It has a hole for a ring at the back end. I put a small ring through the hole but don't plan to carry it around my neck on a lanyard or on a keychain as it will park in my computer desk at home. The hole for the ring is part of the rubberized case so, I suppose, if you did attach a lanyard it is possible the case could split at the back end if you pulled it hard enough, but it would have to be a very hard tug. So, this is going to work very well for me to protect my passwords in the unlikely event somebody gets into my computer room and swipes the thing. Yes, it will erase if someone tries to brute force the password with multiple failed attempts, but I have backups of the password file in a home safe, so I am good. If I had Win11 Professional, I understand Windows11 Bitlocker could essentially do the same thing but I have Win11 Home Version. Apparently a hardware based encryption is better anyway, I dunno about such things but I am glad this flash drive works.

The bad part of this drive, if someone finds it and they try to access it after 6 times it completely wipes it clean... And now ALL your information is lost. Should of not put that feature on it.

I've been using this for about a month now. I keep it attached to my keyring and use it to store / carry my life on it, passwords, scanned docs for house, medical, auto, financial, etc. Not to worry, they're stored in KeePass (dbl encryption) on the stick. The exterior is a soft silicone which keeps it very water resistant. My only two minor nits to pick are that I wish the software after unlocking would minimize or close instead of coming to the foreground again after entering the password and if there was a positive method of keeping the cap secured to the stick instead of the friction it uses as I can see it coming off while carrying under daily use. ETA: 4/2019 - Well it happened, I lost the cap. However, Integral was very responsive through a support contact on their web page and they are sending two caps! Raised to 5 stars.

Not compatible with Windows 11!!!!!!!!!

Easy to use, self-contained and secure enough for daily use. Locks when you close it. Ticked all the boxes for me. Probably wouldn't use it to store Nuke codes, though.

VERY BUGGY

Fine worked as promised so far

Une clé USB efficace pour protéger ses données. Simple à utiliser en entrant le mot de passe. Bon achat.

Bought just to keep passwords on. Bit fiddly entering password as the mouse pointer does not focus on the input box. You have to click on it. And then two more boxes come up if you dismiss them it closes. Also if you put photos on it you can not browse in the normal way as there is no preview.

Ich verwende diesen Stick seit fast 4 Jahren. Er hat mich nie im Stich gelassen und funktioniert bis heute einwandfrei. Er ist fast täglich im Einsatz. Seine sehr gute Schutzhülle läst auch Stürze zu, ohne dass das Innenleben Schaden nimmt. Der einzige Nachteil könnte die Eingabe der Codes per Computer Tastatur sein. Da sollte ein gutes Schutzprogramm im ihrem Computer jegliches Ausspähen unterbinden. Sonst sage ich aus langer Erfahrung: Einfach gut, wenn auch nicht ganz billig. Mit der Geschwindigkeit bin ich auch zufrieden. Nachträgliche Verschlüsselung per Software dauert einiges länger. H.B.

Perfekt! Für jeden zu empfehlen! Genau das richtige um wichtige Daten zu sichern!

Funciona bien para tener a salvo información confidencial. Aunque es un poco cara.
