When we went to save data on the SuperDisk Diskette, we noticed only the letter selected for nonencrypted status was visible. We had only to touch the padlock icon again, and the letter for the encryption drive disappeared. All of the encryption resides on the diskettes, and it is up to the user whether or not to encrypt data. It is also possible to keep unencrypted files on the same diskette with encrypted files. The SuperDisk Parallel Port Drive reads data 23 times faster than a floppy disk drive, while the SuperDisk USB Drive works exactly like the parallel port drive and reads data 22 times faster than a regular floppy disk drive.
Diskettes are interchangeable between drives and can be encrypted and decrypted in both drives.
The SuperDisk Drives are a cost-effective tool for securing and transporting corporate data. Diane E. Levine is president of Strategic Systems Management, Ltd., a New York City-based security and business continuity consulting firm.
