Can also store pictures and Documents. Not real fast but gets the job done. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good product *by L***Z on June 29, 2019* Great product. Wish the higher capacities were not so expensive. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Became Quirky *by I***Y on July 28, 2022* I have been using this jump drive for over one year, pretty much on a daily basis. It is about 75% full. I religiously lock the device at the end of the day and eject it by way of the software, never just yanking it out of my computer. The device stopped unlocking recently and will no longer eject and I get the "the device is still in use" message which is wrong since there is nothing running on my computer at this point. Now I am wary of the device's continued performance and will have to buy a new drive. I still give it 4 stars because when it worked, it worked well and maybe the shelf life on these things is about a year anyway (I typically will run one through the washing machine by then so I don't really know!). ## Frequently Bought Together - Integral 8GB Crypto-197 256-Bit Hardware Encrypted 3.0 USB Secure Flash Memory Drive - Certified to FIPS 197, Brute-Force Password Attack Protection & Rugged Double-Layer Waterproof Design - Integral 4GB Crypto-197 256-Bit 3.0 USB Flash Drive Encrypted - FIPS 197 Certified, Brute Force Password Attack Protection & Waterproof Double Layer Design --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/91250662-8gb-crypto-197-256-bit-hardware-encrypted-3-0-usb](https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/91250662-8gb-crypto-197-256-bit-hardware-encrypted-3-0-usb) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Kingdom* *Store origin: GB* *Last updated: 2026-11-13*
