How? Well you first have to buy Transcend’s Jet Flash 210 Fingerprint USB memory drive. This is a special storage device that doesn’t permit access at the data it holds without checking the fingerprint of the owner first.

Actually, the device stores up to 10 fingerprints and sets user groups to separate data, allowing you to chose who will have access to a specific file. There is also a partition for public files, where everybody can use the selected data.

Transcend sells the drive and a software under the name Jet Flash Elite. The two combined permit an increase in the security of the data on your computer and on your drive. Using the application you can use the fingerprint USB drive as a password which locks your computer rendering it inoperable, but for more security you also compress and encode your data. As an extra this solutions allows you to also keep your favorites on the flash drive and to use your personal accounts and passwords when using the Jet Flash for web browsing on a different computer.
