Overview
A USB Type A plug on the ultra-compact Cruzer Blade slides into a desktop or laptop port, and included SecureAccess software can password-protect files with AES encryption. The black body is small and sleek.
Choose it for carrying documents, photos and music between computers with a layer of password protection. It is limited by an older USB standard, and Mac use needs a software download.
Who it's for
Moving everyday files between a desktop and laptop suits the small form and password feature. People transferring large video files or plugging into a phone should look at newer drives.
Pros and cons
- Password protection software included
- Five-year limited warranty
- Windows and Mac support listed
- Write speed listed without a unit
- USB 2.0 caps transfer speed
- Mac use needs a software download
- Phone use needs a Type A adapter
Performance notes
The drive reads at the listed rate over the older USB interface, so large files take longer to copy than on newer drives. SecureAccess encrypts a protected area with a password, which blocks others from reading it. The write speed is given as a bare number, so real copying times cannot be judged from the listing.
