I bought a Sandisk Usb thumbdrive with Secure Access. I would like to know what other people think. I copied 2 gigabytes to the vault and it was working but it took a long time so I abandoned it because it was taking longer than I wanted to spend. I wasn't paying attention to the clock but I'm guessing it was over 20 to 30 minutes and wasn't finished so I thought it would be powerful but not really practical.

This software comes free with Sandisk thumb drives.

2GB should not be taking that long!

What happens if you use it as a standard non-secure drive?

The software is voluntary and I believe it takes so long because it does encryption.

It should act normally as a regular drive.

I think that would be exactly right - if it is encrypting every single file (and I guess, every single byte within the file) It would probably take some time!
