Select between Complex or Passphrase mode. Passphrases can be complete sentences, multiple words or even lyrics that range from 10 to 128 characters long. An Eye symbol for all entered passwords helps reduce typos.

Admins can create two custom-sized dual hidden partitions for Admin and User for a Hidden File Store to keep data secure and invisible unless properly accessed. Dual Hidden Partitions can provide additional security on untrusted systems or when drive sharing is required.

The Crypto-Erase password feature is for emergencies where a data breach is anticipated. It will wipe encryption keys, delete all data forever, and reset the drive.

Both the Admin and User can set a session-based Read-Only mode to protect the drive from malware on untrusted systems. Admins can also set a Global Read-Only mode that sets the drive in Read-Only mode until reset.

SafeConsole allows for central management of drive access and usage across a fleet of drives for larger enterprises or governments.

Q: 8. Will this work well for long (4+ hours) continuous multitrack recording on a laptop? I've had overheating issues with other usb flash drives where the recording will stop after a couple of hours.

A: Flash drives are not really designed for that kind of sustained use. The passive cooling and small surface area are not ideal for heat dissipation for a sustained use as long as 4 hours. My best advice is to get a proper portable SSD drive designed for those types of workflows. Something like the G-Technology 500GB G-DRIVE USB 3.1 Gen 2 Type-C mobile SSD BH #GT0G06052 would be far more suitable thanks to its Aluminum core which will prevent overheating and maintain high performance in sustained workloads.
