| Lexar Media Intros Its 16GB JumpDrive Secure II Plus Flash Drive Lexar Media announces the introduction of its massive 16GB-capacity JumpDrive Secure II Plus USB flash drive. The 16GB Secure II Plus JumpDrive is intended for consumers and small business users who want to securely back up, store and share large files and amounts of data. In addition to providing users with 16GB of high speed memory, the JumpDrive Secure II Plus features the innovative built-in capacity meter, along with advanced security software that ensures users they can protect their important documents, songs, photos and other files securely, knowing that their information is encrypted — even if the device is lost or stolen. The large storage capacity afforded by the 16GB JumpDrive Secure II Plus gives users the ability to store and transfer large libraries of photos, music files, video footage, and more. The new 16GB JumpDrive Secure II Plus is both PC- and Mac-compatible. The onboard capacity meter feature on the JumpDrive Secure II Plus solves a common problem faced by many USB flash drive users, namely, how to gauge the available storage space on their drive. The innovative, easy-to-read, 10-bar capacity meter accurately shows available storage space at a glance, without even plugging it into a computer. What makes this solution unique is that it requires no software drivers, no administrative privileges, and it works across platforms and functions independently of the operating system — giving users great flexibility and ease of use. JumpDrive Secure II Plus comes pre-loaded with advanced security software that lets users protect their data quickly and easily. Users can easily create multiple password-protected areas using 256-bit AES encryption, then simply drag files into these secure areas for automatic encryption. When users drag the files out again, they are automatically decrypted. JumpDrive Secure II Plus provides an added level of security and peace of mind with its special File Shredder feature, which allows users to securely discard files, including the hidden "digital trail" normally left behind when files are deleted. Files that have been deleted using the File Shredder feature are securely deleted and cannot be recovered by file recovery tools. As a special bonus for Windows -based road warriors, JumpDrive Secure II Plus comes pre-loaded with a free 30-day trial of Dmailer V7 software, a tool that lets Windows users work securely while on the move, easily backing up and synchronizing their files, including Microsoft Outlook and Outlook Express. When combined with the advanced encryption features of the JumpDrive Secure II Plus, users can work with files and surf the web securely, confident that no trace of their session will be left behind. The 16GB Lexar JumpDrive Secure II Plus will be available beginning in September 2008. Additionally, the Lexar JumpDrive Secure II Plus USB flash drive is available in 1GB, 2GB, 4GB, and 8GB capacities. write your comments about the article :: © 2008 Computing News :: home page |
