Encrypted USB Flash Drive, Keypad Secure FIPS Certified Memory Stick, Military Grade Hardware U Disk with Password Protection, Personal USB 2.0 AES 256-bit Encryption (16G)

NOT water proof!

You hold it and you feel it right away. Not a cheap piece of plastics like the usual USB stick. It is built tough. The passcode system is easy to use. A good way to store sensitive data.

Mine stopped working after a few uses. It started by not allowing me to open some files I had saved, and now it doesn’t recognize the password anymore.

Recommend having a backup before storing critical files here only. Which, BTW, defeats the purpose of the product. Enough said.

I'm glad I didn't put important information on this thing because literally on the 3rd or 4th use it mysteriously "encrypted" a directory and all it's contents. Sat in a drawer until a month ago. Plugged it in. It got mapped to the D rive. Tried to create a directory. Was informed by the OS that "a fatal error has has occurred with drive D". Tossed it into the trash.

I purchased two. One still functions, one failed intermittently at first, then ceased to function, less than a year after purchase. The number pads are small and difficult to press with accuracy. The device emits soft beeps when the buttons a pushed; sometimes it's difficult to hear them and know whether the password entry was successful until after you've entered the entire 6 digits and discovered it was unsuccessful. The documentation is very confusing and was clearly written by someone who is not fluent in English.

Well this flash drive was originally amazing. easy to use and fairly cheap. I have had it for 11 months and now I can't access a single filed I saved on it. I can still access the flash drive and open it like I used to but it looks like a new flash drive with not a single saved file. I used a data recovery software that cost me 100$ and I was able to recover about 50% of it. SO I CANNOT RECOMMEND THIS TO ANYONE.

Works well, but the description is very misleading. The device is not FIPS certified and with the recovery process as-is it would not qualify for certification.
