Review: Gut geschützter USB Stick, mit viele Sicherheitsvorkehrungen. Der Stick lässt sich nicht Knacken, brechen usw. Klare Kaufempfehlung
Review: It's quite pricey, but it's working very well so far. The manufacturer information does not elaborate much on the features, but from what I am seeing, the 500S does not appear to be allowing any access to the device other than the actual data reads and writes that I am making. I like that!
