Super Talent Luxio 128 GB USB 2.0 Flash Drive STP28GLXSU (Silver )

I had two requirements when I bought this drive. First, I needed the large capacity USB drive, and second, I needed a drive that provided automatic (transparent) encryption that would be difficult for anyone other than a Nation State with plenty or resources to crack. This drive meets both requirements.

PROS:
1. This device has a large 64 GB capacity, packed into a 1 oz flash drive.

2. The unit uses hardware based, AES 256 encryption allowing faster operation than S/W based encryption, and it frees the CPU to do other things while encryption takes place.

3. The design is based on a dual-channel architecture, resulting in greater speed than single channel devices provide.

4. Despite its large capacity, the device is ultra thin, allowing it to fit easily within in the space provided for a USB device without preventing other USB devices from sitting beside it.

5. The unit secures an entire drive, rather than just a...Read more

I bought this Super Talent Luxio 64 GB flash drive at the end of May (29th) because I wanted the high capacity and AES encryption. It also was supposed to be pretty fast. I have no complaints about the speed or encryption process. However after 4 months (Oct. 02) it failed completly. When I inserted it in the USB port, my computer requested me to insert a removeable disc. I emailed SuperTalent with their RMA form from the website. They sent me a Recovery Tool program that completely wiped the disc, including my data and their encryption program. Luckily I had the data on the flash drive backed up within the last week, so all was not lost. But I am extremely unhappy about the reliability and will never entrust it again.

I am not sure about what I will do regarding the encryption. I found when I bought a second Super Talent Luxio (32GB) that their software would not support a second Luxio Flash Drive. I may use a far better Encryption program, TureCrypt, that will support...Read more
