Modern data is stored online, everyone knows that! It’s cheap, often free for personal use, easy to set up and keep organised and it’s safe. Well, that’s the theory anyway. Yet with ever more frequent news reports of detailed personal and financial information being stolen from servers it’s perhaps time to think again, especially for very sensitive data.
That’s where today’s handy little gems come in. Lexar’s Jumpdrive S75 and Jumpdrive P20 are USB flash drives (or memory sticks) which come complete with EncryptStick™ Lite software to secure your data with 256-bit AES encryption, letting you take your data offline and carry it with you secure in the knowledge that it’s safe even if it gets lost or stolen.
With flash drives being really cheap it can be hard to choose the right one, will either of these two stand out from the crowd and be worth perhaps paying a little bit more for? Read on to find out more as I dig a little deeper into the world of thumb drives.
