Thank you for purchasing Transcend’s USB Flash drive with built-in 256-bit AES encryption security. JetFlash® SecureDrive helps you safeguard data by creating a private, password-protected area on your JetFlash drive. Once enabled, nobody but you will be able to see or access files stored within the Private Zone.
