Review: Hi Security - As a security Consultant, I was looking for a secure storage device that meets or is equivalent to government standard and this fits the bill. Easy to use and set up and with an inbuilt automatic data destruction it was just what I need. So if its lost or stolen it will automatically lock if the correct sequences of numbers is not entered and will basically self destruct all the contents beyond recovery if the recovery code isn't entered.
Review: Does the job - I wanted a high capacity and very secure key. It satisfies those requirements. It was suggested to me by a colleague who has the same though with a smaller capacity
