Safer Stick: Biometric Flash Disk
Software Features
Another useful function for added security is the screen locking tool. When a PC is left unattended, even for a short period of time, this function prevents other users from accessing your data. This Bio Flash Utility tool can be activated through a button in the task bar and locks the Biometric Flash Disk. In order to deactivate this function, the fingerprint of the user is mandatory.
The function of the Recovery Tool should be self-explanatory as well: If you want to configure the Biometric Flash Disk for a new user, or if you want to clear its memory, you need to type in the serial number which will enable a new scan of a fingerprint.
Without the cap, the flash drive only weighs 15 grams - with the cap on, 19 grams.
