Introduction

This Hi-Speed USB Flash Disk is your friendly, secure, and lightweight removable

mass storage device disk. It plugs thru the USB port so your computer will quickly

detect and configure the disk without needing to restart the computer. You read,

write, copy and delete files just the same way as you use a disk drive. Since it is a

large capacity disk, you can play MP3 files, run program applications or play

videos directly from the disk.

This Hi-Speed USB Flash Disk is so light and compact that you can carry it with

you anywhere. It comes in various large storage capacities. It is so easy to install

that you can actually use it to replace your floppy diskettes, ZIP drives, MO drives,

and even CD-RW discs. Because it uses durable solid-state storage flash memory,

it has no moving parts inside and makes it shock resistant and longer to use.

This Hi-Speed USB Flash Disk also provides great flexibility and data security with

disk partitioning and password security features. The USB Flash Disk (UFD) Utility

allows you to easily create and configure one or two-partition drives – an open

partition drive with no password and a secured partition drive with password

access option. The secured partition drive allows you to place your important files

in it and protect it from being accessed by setting a password to hide the drive.

Any access to this secured partition drive then would require first to run the

security utility and enter the correct password to unlock the drive.
