Review: Fonctionne parfaitement, mais obligation d'utiliser un stylet non fourni si on veut entrer un mot de passe rapidement dans erreur de frappe, j'apprécie la sécurité haute performance et la destruction immèdiate des données en cas de tentatives d'intrusion. Point négatif prix un peu élevé !
Review: Ótima opção para dados com sigilo. O preço porém é alto para os padrões brasileiros
