me old
me old do
hi this is a democracy been for gadget
TV on butterscotch dot com taking a look
at the ages padlock drive
know what this is its portable hard
drive ranges in capacity from 250 to 500
gigabytes
and it has 128 or 256
as: encryption so how it works is
when you plug in the USB cable that
stopped on the side here with that right
now
plug it into the included
power and USB extender you can see that
the
the light comes on red and on the
computer
it'll come up and say that there's been
a disconcerting but it doesn't really
know what to do yet
so on the Mac we have to hit ignore now
we have to do
is which have to punch in are access
code
in this case it comes format it is one
two three four five six and we have
about to change that
23 456 and that's our admin password
you can see the light flashes green and
then it shows up on the desktop
solvency in here that we have a few
items stored
now if we employed the drive to reject
first if we employed the drive
and plug it back in we can enter
administration mode so when it's when
the lights red like this we impressed
the
padlock key and the 0 key for five
seconds
to enter administration mode so we can
see the
LED is flashing red now we enter the
administration password
than the LED turned blue
to recognize that we're in
administration mode now
we can actually set up to 10 unique user
passwords on here
so if we press the padlock key
and one and hold it for a couple seconds
see the blue light starts to flash
now we have to do is enter the password
that we want to use so in this case will
create a user
gadget TV you can see that it's an
alphanumeric keypad here
so GATT G T
T now it's recognizing that we've
entered the password once
entered again GE
T TV and that means is recognize any
password
so now we can unplug the device plug it
back in
and now we can enter or use a password
that was just set
GATT geet TV
and unlock and now the drive will mount
on a dust-up
so this allows you to set up to 10 user
accounts one problem we've noticed is
that it doesn't actually
segment the user account so even if you
set 10 passwords your bases giving ten
different people
10 ways access the same data so even if
you went to the administration password
to to start using the drive you can
actually and
store information that the other users
can't see this is actually a really
ideal device for
corporate applications its it offers
like I said 128 or 256
as: encryption which basically means
that no one can access your data
through brute force attacks I'll take
several years I would imagine to
actually get through
and because you can set a password
between 6
and 16 digits that means that you have
literally billions and billions a
possible password combinations so people
can really crack
that's a quick look at the ages padlock
drive
for gadget TV I'm and more crisp for
more sweet stuff is it butterscotch dot
