FlashBlu30 32GB with Physical Write Protect Switch SuperSpeed USB3.0 Flash Drive

I keep visiting many clients and did't want my drive to get corrupted by virus in their PCs. This is ideal. One issue is that the write-protect switch, which is projecting a little above the casing, can slide into write-enable position accidentally while inserting the drive in the USB slot. I have trimmed the switch slide height the same level as the case to avoid this. Now I have to use a ball pen tip to slide the switch - which is ok for me. The actual product colour is very pale blue - not the dark blue as shown in the picture.

I purchased the 8gb drive 6 years ago and it is still working strong (no issues). Nothing can be deleted, not even McAfee can erase a single file once the write protect switch is on. It's bookable, great for a diagnostic tool. That's why I bought this one. More storage and more diagnostic tools.

This drive works very well as an Unraid boot device. Just follow the steps to install, and you are good to go.I’ve run a server on this for about 6 months with no issues.

Hace años compre dos memorias USB con interruptor físico, las usamos hasta que se acabaron.Por nuestro trabajo en una universidad se requería de llevar proyectos, presentaciones, documentos, etc. a compañeros cuyas máquinas en ocasiones estaban infectadas.Yo cambié a Linux y eso me evitó los problemas, en su caso siguió usando Windows con los problemas que eso conlleva, con esta memoria de USB se acaban las preocupaciones.

Sjukt överprisad.Men bra produkt. Mycket bra att kunna skrivskydda filerna.Mvh,Martin

This drive is a bit on the slow side for a contemporary USB Flash drive.It's over a dollar-per-GB, at a time when similar-sized drives cost half that, and larger drives are a quarter that expensive per GB.But... it has a write-protect switch. THIS is why you need this drive.You need this drive, but you don't need it for documents, photos, moving data back-and-forth. You need it for rescue utilities and a repair toolkit, of programs Windows Defender/Sophos/Macafee/etc will falsely (or perhaps trigger-happily) consider malware and auto-delete as soon as you plug the drive in.Put tools on the drive, "allowing" them in your system, and then flip that switch. Bring the toolkit wherever needed (e.g. my mother's tangled computers in another state), insert, get the warning BUT the system couldn't delete the files. And I was able to fix up her systems.For some sources of toolkit software for Windows, checkout NirSoft, PortableApps and SysInternals. There are others, but these will get you started with an easy-to-use high-powered portable toolkit.
