A USB Pocket Safe is products of evolving technology. This drive provides more features and functions than its predecessors and also contains some new features for an individual who may take protecting their private and personal documents seriously.

The keypad lock of the USB pocket safes drive has been designed to ensure complete security. The lock is a 256-bit encryption coded rubber pad that requires a 4-10 character pass code to allow access to the information and data on the drive.

The size of a thumb drive makes it very easy to lose or misplace. Often these drives are found by passers by and picked up for inspection and use. Unfortunately on a drive that is not properly protected that means that all of the documents and materials on the drive are open for viewing and use. This includes the personal information that may be on the drive.

If the wrong code is entered three times on the keypad the drive will immediately go into a time-delayed lock down that makes it inaccessible. The pocket safe also has a feature that will completely destroy all of the information contained on the keypad if someone tries to force open the casing of the drive to steal data.

The USB pocket safes team did take into consideration that many people have several pin numbers and it can be very easy to forget the pin number of a pocket safe when one needs the information retrieved in a high energy situation. To address the need of their customers the team has created a service plan for these situations. By using the pin replacement assistance feature an individual can replace their pin number when it has been forgotten and continue using their pocket safe without fear of lock down or destruction of data.

The internal memory of the drive will hold several years of documents, statements, scanned registries, and other important documents that need to be safe and available if needed. This drive completely removes the need to pay for an expensive safety deposit box to store important papers. It is also so small that it is easily transported in a pocket or bag.

Many people think that when they save information on a thumb drive and remove it from a computer that it is safe from hackers and thieves. This is not the case. Thumb drives are easily traceable for the determined thief and the information on the thumb drive, once it has been traced, can be retrieved from any computer that it is plugged in to. The USB pocket safes have an additional feature which stop these attacks. Once it is taken from the port of the computer on which it is used all traces are removed of the drive. The track covering feature will not allow anyone to gain access to the information or follow the drive to another source to get code that will provide your data.

The software that provides a back-up function for the pocket safe comes with the drive and has been designed for individuals who may not have the training and expertise to navigate through program coding other other types of systems. The system is completely compatible with Windows XP and the Windows Vista Operating Systems.

The pocket safe cannot be accessed through the Internet and will not erase or destroy data when it is in the lock down mode. This allows time to retrieve the drive and resume use if it has been misplaced and then found. The battery that operates the locking mechanism is a Lithium-ion battery which will let an individual know when replacement of the battery is needed.

The investment for a thumb drive that provides excellent security and has the memory to hold several years worth of data and documents in one place will provide a business owner with one less item that they need to be concerned about in their busy day. For an individual who wishes to keep all of their important documents and vital papers in one, easy to reach, location, the USB pocket safes provide both the ease of use and the security to make the purchase of the drive a good investment.
