The ClipDrive BIO is a USB storage device that can secure your data by using fingerprint recognition. The device has two partitions (places to store data): a public partition that anyone can access and a private partition that enables you to lock away sensitive data.
The secure partition can only be accessed after you have 'enrolled' your fingerprint using the set-up software. Once stored, you can access the private partition by pressing your finger against the small sensor mounted at the end of the key. The set-up options are very simple and make light work of the enrolment process. You can also choose how big or small your partitions are, too.
However, you can only unlock your private partition if the accompanying security software is installed on your PC. While this does protect the data if you are unfortunate enough to lose the ClipDrive, it's not much use if the PC you're using hasn't got the software installed. In its favour, though, the security program is small (around 6Mb) so it can be stored on the public partition, ready for installation.
