Hypertec's DataSafe Business Edition (BE) line of USB Flash drivers uses encryption to protect data, with access via a password.
In fact, you cannot use the drive at all until you have set a password, ensuring that data is protected.
We looked at a sample of the 'rugged' version, which ships in a rubber casing. Other case styles are also available.
Its ruggedness was inadvertently put to the test when it was accidentally dropped into a mug of very hot liquid, but we are happy to report that the DataSafe BE appeared not to suffer and worked perfectly after being retrieved and dried out.
When connected to a PC, the DataSafe BE appears as two extra logical drives: the first holds the software executable required to access the second one, which simply appears as a volume zero bytes in size.
Double-clicking on the first volume. labelled 'Datasafe BE' on our system, brings up the password application.
