The new Secure G50 USB Flash Drive series from Silicon Power offers an additional layer of protection against data theft by utilizing AES 256-bit hardware-based full-disk encryption in XTS mode and the SP Locker application is the point of interaction for unlocking the sensitive data partition. The drive will re-lock as soon as it has been unmounted and if there have been multiple attempts to guess the password (or brute-force), the drive contents will be erased in order to avoid data leakage.

Despite the embedded security features, the drive is quite speedy, so we could copy to it with about 60MB/s and read from it with about 145MB/s.

The drive is available with four different SKUs, so businesses may choose the one they would suit better to their needs:

-8GB for about 17 Euros

-16GB for about 22 Euros

-32GB for about 32 Euros

-64GB for about 52 Euros

We would surely like to see higher capacities in the future for the Secure G50, but also frequent firmware updates in order to maintain compatibility with the latest operating systems.
