Review By Notebookreview

The unit features a removable cap with a hole for a lanyard. The cap clips on solidly and feels like it won’t be accidentally dislodged and lost. On the opposite end of the drive is a small LED that illuminates blue when the drive is active. My only complaint here is that the LED can only be seen from one side. Plugged into my Powerbook, the LED faces downward and can’t be seen. Plugged into the side ports of a PC the LED faces backwards and can’t be seen. It’s a small annoyance, but one that could be easily rectified if Lexar placed the LED on the end of the USB drive.

Review By Everythingusb

There are three main functions of the Dashboard: Vaults, File Encryption, and Shredding. The vaults are essentially encrypted disk images stored on the drive as LXV files that may be mounted to any free drive letter, automatically encrypting files using a 256-bit AES algorithm as they are stored and modified inside the vault. Multiple vaults may be created and mounted from either on the drive or the host machine, and can be anywhere from 32MB to 2GB in size. There’s about a 40% performance loss when using encryption, although for most files this wouldn’t pose a problem. The only real downside to using a vault is when traveling - you need administrative rights on both Mac and PC for the driver to be loaded, and on a Mac you need to take the time to install it.
